The Big Money Maker 
.00 a Year per Acre with Lucretia Dewberries 
Lucretia Dewberries are bringing big money. They ripen a week or ten days 
ahead of common blackberries, the bulk of the crop being harvested before other 
blackberries start to ripen, so sell at very high prices. 
The Dewberry belongs to the blackberry family, and the Lucretia is the best of 
them all. The large berries are incomparably better than any blackberry grown; 
of unequaled excellence; sweet and luscious throughout, and of bright glossy black 
color. They are very productive, and the most profitable of all fruit crops to grow. 
The Lucretia has received the highest endorsement and highest praise from the 
best horticulturists in the country. Its trailing habit renders it less liable to 
winterkill. Lucretia may be propagated from the tips, like black raspberries. It 
does not spread or sucker. 
There are two methods of growing the Dewberry. One is to set the plants 4 
feet apart in the row, with rows 6 to 7 feet apart. Allow them to grow along the 
row in their natural way, removing all the new growth until after blooming time, 
and then allow only enough new vines to grow to provide for the next crop, and 
at the same time shade the ripening fruit. In this way they will ripen earlier 
than they would tied up to wires or stakes, the whole crop being grown in Nature’s 
own way, down among the dewy leaves unexposed to strong rays of summer sun. 
Controlling the new growth each season does away with the necessity of stakes 
or posts and wire. 
The other method of growing is to use short posts and wire. Grown in this way, 
the fruit is much easier to pick, but is not quite as early. The posts need be only 
30 to 36 inches high. Use one wire and in the spring tie all canes onto same, 
holding them off the ground. Let the new canes lie on the ground throughout the 
growing season, covering them slightly for winter protection in climates where the 
winters are severe. Cut away old wood in spring and tie new canes on wire, or 
old wood can be removed soon after harvesting the crop. 
1815 plants per acre will be required if plants are set 6x4 feet.

The New Boysenberry 
The new Boysenberry is the most remarkable berry introduced in many 
years. It is just as easily grown as Dewberries or Blackberries, and 
more productive because the fruit is so much larger. Many of the ber¬ 
ries reach 2 to 2% inches in length. The flavor is unexcelled for a table 
berry and for canning, pies and preserves no other berry can compare 
with it. Boysenberry is perfectly hardy. Blooming later than most sim¬ 
ilar fruits, there is no danger of frost damage.

Sodus Purple Raspberry 
This is one of the finest berried ever offered. It is a cross be¬ 
tween a black raspberry and red raspberry, and possesses all the 
qualities of each. The berries are of large size; purple in color; 
seeds small and deeply imbedded in a rich, juicy pulp. They do not 
crumble when picked, are good shippers and good keepers, and are 
better for canning than either red or black raspberries. 
The habit of growth is like that of the black raspberry, so does 
not sucker or spread from the root. The canes are model growers; 
vigorous and healthy. Will grow anywhere; as hardy as an oak, 
enormously productive; and either fresh or canned, is the finest 
flavored raspberry we ever tasted. 
1815 plants per acre if set 4x6 feet.
