STRAWBERRY “Mastadon” 
BLACKBERRIES 
Cory Thornless Mammoth—Thornless form of “Mam¬ 
moth”. Its smooth canes make it a very nice berry 
for the Home Garden. 
Himalaya—One of the best for Central California. 
Bush is extremely vigorous, very spiny, trailing and 
an enormous producer. The fruit is of medium size, 
roundish in form, juicy and of good flavor. Season 
from June to late fall. Must be trellised. Requires 
less care than any other. 
Mammoth—Extremely vigorous, trailing habit, rapid 
grower, heavy producer. The fruit is very long, 
large, jet black, very sweet and juicy. Very popular 
because it ripens early to midseason. 
BOYSEN BERRY 
Fruit closely resembles that of the Youngberry, but 
has a finer flavor, is less seedy, at least half again as 
large, and about 10 to 15 days later. Bears a fine 
second crop. Vines are vigorous and prolific, fruiting 
the second year. Considered to be slightly more acid, 
and to contain more sugar and pectin than the 
Youngberry, which makes the fruit well suited for 
Jams, Jellies, Pies, and accounts for the fine flavor. 
Delicious served fresh with cream. Tip roots 20c 
each; 10 for $1.65. 
CURRANTS 
Cherry. Best suited to Bay Area. Produces freely of 
excellent bright red fruit in immense clusters.

CULTURAL HINTS 
Pruning the Cane Fruits—Blackberries, Dewberries, 
Raspberries, etc. The cane fruits bear on the growth of 
the previous season. The first thing to remember then is: 
cut out old canes as soon as they have fruited. Better done 
soon as possible after the crop is harvested, although it 
may be deferred to Fall or Winter. Over prolific varie¬ 
ties, should have all but four or five canes cut out to the 
ground. Cut back the new canes and their side shoots a 
third or so in the winter or early spring. 
Spraying the Cane Fruits—Refer to Pest Control 
Chart, Page 61 under “Cane Blight”, “Red Berry”, 
“Mildews”. 
LOGANBERRY 
Raspberry-Blackberry Hybrid. Enormous crops of 
large, long, dark red berries with a rich sub-acid 
flavor. Prized for pies, canning, jams and jellies. 
RASPBERRIES 
Gregg (Black)—Plants are strong, hardy and produc¬ 
tive. The midseason beri'ies are firm and sweet. 
Adapted to Central California conditions. 
Ranaree (St. Regis)—The best for the Bay Area. The 
plant is vigorous and hardy and sends up suckers 
freely. The berries are medium in size, bright red in 
color. They are firm and deliciously flavored. The 
season is early, and very long. 
STRAWBERRIES 
Banner—.Still the favorite. Thrives where summers are 
cool. Beautiful big, deep red, round, richly-flavored 
berry. It bears consistently over a long period, from 
March to December. Plants are long-lived. Suited to 
eating fresh and canning. 30c doz.; $2.00 per 100. 
Mastadon—The best Everbearing variety for home 
use. Mammoth size berries, round, medium dark 
red. Bears late as Thanksgiving; the last picking 
being as large as the first. 50c doz.; $3.50 per 100. 
Nick Ohmer—The variety found most on the market 
in the Bay Area for table use. Not as good for can¬ 
ning as “Banner.” A main season variety, with 
very glossy red fruit of excellent flavor. 35c doz.; 
$2.50 per 100. 
YOUNGBERRY 
A vigorous grower and an enormous producer. 
Canes of trailing habit. The fruit is of good size, 
dark red in color—almost reddish black when ripe 
—juicy, and sweeter than Loganberry when ripe. 
Ripens about the same time as Loganberry. Crops 
from about the end of May to the first of July.
