WHEN RIPE 
If you plant ear¬ 
ly you may have 
a few sample 
berries the first 
summer, but your 
big full crop will 
not come until 
the folio wing 
summer. Boysen- 
berries ripen 
about two weeks 
later than young- 
berries but have 
twice as long 
picking season. 
ORIGIN 
The Boysenberry 
was d e v e 1 oped 
from three black- 
berries of un¬ 
known ori g in, 
Cuthbert r a s p- 
berry, and logan- 
berry. All of 
these berries ar 
hardy and while 
we have only had 
the Boysenberry 
for two winters, 
our experiments 
have indicated 
that it is just as 
hardy as its par¬ 
ents. 
Facts Relative To the Sensational New Boysenberry 
CURIOSITY. 
In California where the Boysenberry 
has been offered for sale for two sum¬ 
mers, had you been passing the fields of 
those lucky growers who had them, when 
they were ripe, you would have thought 
they were holding an old time camp 
meeting. Hundreds of people came from 
many miles around in order to see, taste, 
and purchase this marvelous berry right 
in the fields at two to three times higher 
price than that for which other vineber- 
ries were selling. 
FRUIT KILLED. 
During the past year we have had an 
extremely cold winter followed by an in¬ 
tensively hot summer, with a killing 
drought in many sections of our country. 
Many fruit trees and fruit bearing vines 
have been completely destroyed. There¬ 
fore, there will be large plantings of new 
fruit to take their place. It is very doubt¬ 
ful if you could find anything to equal 
the Boysenberry to take the place of lost 
trees and vines that so quickly will give 
you a profit. In California young or¬ 
chards of all kinds are being interset 
with Boysenberries. It is suggested that 
you give this some thought. 
TRUE TO NAME. 
We have plants growing in 18 dif¬ 
ferent plantings from Virginia to Ore¬ 
gon and California. Stock for these 
plantings was carefully selected from 
the oriainal acreage. Plants are either 
in your state or nearby and they will 
reach you in perfect conditon. If you 
prefer we will ship from the original | 
acreage. 
DOES IT PAY? 
Recently we visited the ranch of Mr. R. L. 
Saunders, Route 1, Box 15, Riverside, California, 
to look at 500 plants we had sold Mr. Saunders 
last spring. They were beautiful, immense, great 
big canes. Some of them were better than 15 
feet long. In one end of the planting we were 
surprised to find quite a number of pale looking, 
runty, little plants that were not 1/5 as large as 
those at which we had looked. Yet they were in 
the same soil and had the same attention. Mr. 
Saunders noticed that we were embarrassed and 
very kindly advised us that after buying 500 
plants from us he was offered some from another 
grower at a cheaper price. These were the plants. 
We have priced our plants no higher than any 
other grower of honest Boysenberry plants and 
should you not care to purchase from us, we sug¬ 
gest that you carefully investigate before you 
purchase plants from another grower merely be¬ 
cause they are quoted cheaper. They will be very 
expensive if they are not true to name, have not 
been grown right, nor been packed properly for 
shipment.

THRIVE WHERE BLACKBERRIES 
GROW. 
Give your plants some manure of any 
kind or commercial fertilizer after they 
start growing, keep moist and weeds 
out. They will do the rest. 
Where plants are to be irrigated they 
may be planted 6 by 6 but we advise 
more room to be allowed where irriga¬ 
tion is not practiced. 
Boysenberries should be treated just 
like any other bramble and will do well 
in almost any soil, either heavy or light, 
providing it is not alkaline, and is fertil¬ 
ized and receives sufficient moisture. 
CULTURE. 
We send full cultural instructions 
with every shipment. 
CULTIVATION. 
Berry vines are shallow rooted. There¬ 
fore, deep and frequent cultivation mere¬ 
ly tears to pieces the roots which cost 
good money to develop. 
RESERVE NOW. 
We have about one-half of all plants 
in existence, and 90% of all plants east 
of the Rockies. We know positively 
there will be a complete sellout this sea¬ 
son and earnestly advise you to make 
your reservations immediately. 
Not 1/lOth of the population of the 
United States has seen or tasted this 
marvelous berry and when they do there 
is going to be the greatest stampede for 
these plants that has ever been known 
for any plant. 
Now is the time to plant in California 
and in Southern States where hard 
freezes are not expected. In other sec¬ 
tions plant at the first break of spring.
