As to Yields of Fruit 
P HENOMENAL yields are reported by some planters, 
especially in strawberries. A yield as high as 20,000 
quarts per acre, and from 10,000 to 12,000 in many in¬ 
stances. In smaller lots 2,500 quarts from 3,000 plants, 
1,000 from a setting of 1,000 plants, another reports V/i 
quarts per plant. Now without a doubt these are unusual 
yields, the land was ideal, made rich and intensive culti¬ 
vation given. It is unreasonable to expect such big yields 
except under the best conditions. Still one should secure 
in an average garden location a quart to a plant during the 
season on plants that were set the year before. 
RASPBERRIES—^“From one of the fields of Columbian, 
from which our plants are taken, two acres in extent, 
netted the grower one season $2,700.00,” while another 
grower in the same town writes: “We picked 8,350 quarts 
from two acres of Columbian and sold them for $1,947.00.” 
Another sold his crop from three acres for $2,596.00, and 
the year previous for $2,450.00. Although Red Raspber¬ 
ries under extra good conditions have been known to give 
a yield of 4,000 quarts, 2,000 to 2,500 quarts per acre is 
considered a good and satisfactory yield. 
As to the Boysenberry, we are receiving quite a num¬ 
ber of inquiries as to this berry, and feel justified in giving 
here a copy of a letter received from the New York State 
Agricultural Experiment Station, Geneva, N. Y., dated 
December 9, 1938: “I think you are justified in printing 
in your catalog that the Boysenberry and Youngberry are 
not sufiiciently hardy for the northern states. If people 
want to grow these berries in this area, they must expect 
to cover the canes with earth during the winter.” There 
is no doubt but that where this berry can be successfully 
grown, it is a wonder, under good conditions. We can 
supply plants procured from well known growers if desired.
