Proven Berry Plants i i KNOTT’S BERRY PLACE i i Trees and Vines 
Texas Wonder — This variety was 
brought here a few years ago by Mr. 
S. S. Tannehill from Texas, because he 
found nothing here in California that 
would equal it. 
Like many other blackberries this va¬ 
riety grows quite trailing the first sum¬ 
mer, but after the first season it can be 
grown in bushes. The fruit-buds on the 
canes are much closer together than 
other blackberries and every fruit-bud 
develops a fine cluster of LARGE ber¬ 
ries. The bushes are literally black with 
them, and we really mean BLACK! The 
fruit starts ripening about May 20th in 
this section, and is very firm. It keeps 
well; stands handling well; ships well, 
and sells well. These points make it a 
very desirable blackberry to grow for 
market. Storekeepers like it and will pay 
more for it because of its large and 
showy display on the counter. 
Tf you live in the south half of the 
United States, and if you grow Black¬ 
berries to ship, plant Texas Wonder. It 
it a wonderful yielder, and an excellent 
shipper. 
Plant four feet apart in rows seven or 
eight feet across, about 1,500 plants per 
acre. 
Prices Prepaid—Each 15c. 10 for $1.25. 
25 for $2.50, 50 for $4.00, 100 for $5.50, 
1000 for $45.00. 
A cluster of Texas Wonder black¬ 
berries. This is one of the largest, finest 
and most productive blackberries we 
have ever seen. 
THEY THRIVE IN AEABAMA 
Dear Mr. Knott: 
We have just completed our first har¬ 
vest of Boysenberries, the plants foi- 
which were purchased from you. They 
were remarkable berries. 
One establishment, catering to the 
Garden District in New Orleans, the 
aristocratic section, engaged to handle 
our entire crop when shown a sample 
basket of the berries. At the height of 
the picking there was an overfiow and 
other dealers were just as anxious to 
handle all they could get. Their custoin- 
ers spread the news, and the Boysen- 
berry was a sensation. 
They were raised without irrigation on 
sandy soil of Alabama. We were de¬ 
lighted with the returns.

Mammoth Blackberries —Quite a popu¬ 
lar berry for home use. especially in the 
hotter, drier sections. Similar to Corey 
Thornless in every respect except that it 
is thorny and in some localities more 
prolific. The fruit is very large and the 
seed is very small. Not prolific enough 
in many districts to warrant commercial 
planting. 
Cory Thornless — Same as Mammoth 
except thornless and in some districts 
not as prolific. Often shy bearer close 
to the coast. Plant 8 feet apart in rows 
6 feet across. 
Prices prepaid for Mammoth and Cory 
Thornless Blackberries—Each 15c, 10 for 
$1.25, 25 for $2.50, 50 for $4.00, 100 for 
$5.50, 1000 for $45.00. 
Himalaya Blackberry — A very rank 
grower, which should be planted not 
closer than 10 feet apart in the rows, 
with rows spaced not less than 8 feet 
apart. It must be trellised well, for the 
vines continue to produce for many 
years, and bear very heavy crops. The 
berries are medium sized, very good 
flavor, and are produced in large clus¬ 
ters. Ripening time here is from July 
to October. 
As with other late Blackberries, tlie 
Himalaya must be thoroughly sprayed 
for the Red Berry Mite. Tf properl.v 
pruned and sprayed, the Himalaya beai’S 
an enormous crop of excellent fruit, 
which ripens after other varieties of 
Blackberries are gone. This makes a 
few plants very desirable for the home 
garden, and for the same reason, the 
commercial grower should give it very 
careful consideration, for it prolongs his 
harvest season some two months, and 
makes it possible for him to keep his 
pickers engaged much longer.

structions for this variety under cul¬ 
tural directions in the back of this cata¬ 
log.
