Growers, Take Warning! 
This berry is going to upset the berry 
business just like Youngberries did, and 
those who start with it early are going 
to be the ones who will make the money. 
With ample irrigation Boysenberries 
can be spaced as close os 6 feet apart, in 
rows 6 feet across. In non-irrigated dis¬ 
tracts, we believe 8 feet by 8 feet spac¬ 
ing will be better. In some sections of 
light rainfall, even farther spacing will 
prove advisable. 
10 plants will set a 60 to 80 foot row. 
600 to lODO plants per acre.

Suggestions for Growing Boysen Berries. 
The best time to set out the plants is 
January, February and March in Cali¬ 
fornia, and as early in the spring as the 
land can be worked in the colder sec¬ 
tions. Most seasons February is the ideal 
time in California. With irrigation the 
rows may be spaced six feet apart and 
the plants set six feet apart in the 
rows. Without irrigation we believe that 
eight-foot spacing each way will be 
better. Do not crowd them for they 
make big vines. This is a very ex¬ 
ceptional berry, for even though it pro¬ 
duces an enormous crop still the berries 
are very large, and by very large we 
mean BIG; bigger, we are sure, than 
anything you have grown or seen before. 
But in order, to get both very large ber¬ 
ries and a big crop there must be some¬ 
thing put in the ground to produce them, 
so keep them well watered and well fer¬ 
tilized and be surprised and happy with 
the results. 
After your plants have started to grow 
well, if manure is available, it will be a 
great help if you will scatter 10 or 15 
pounds of chicken manure or 20 or 25 
pounds of barnyard manure per plant 
down the irrigation furrows and work it 
into the ground. If manure is not easily 
available about one pound per plant of 
fishmeal, bloodmeal, tankage, or mixed 
fertilizer scattered in the irrigation fur¬ 
rows after the plants have started to 
grow, will make them grow big, strong 
vines the first year. You should strive 
to get a heavy vine the first summer in 
order to support a maximum crop the 
next season. 
Then in the winter while the plants 
aie dormant they should be fertilized 
again, this time is for the fruit. An 
application as suggested above is enough 
on good rich land; if the soil is run 
down or not rich another application 
about the time the canes start budding 
out in the spring will pay. They should 
be kept well watered all season and the 
whole space between the rows should 
bo kept quite moist. They should be kept
