EXCERPTS FROM LEADING NEWSPAPERS 
AND MAGAZINES 
The Detroit Free Press—Tuesday, September 20, 1938— 
“Fruit Discovery—Mr. Boysen has a new berry for us. 
On his California ranch he’s produced a huge black-red fruit 
which he claims to be a cross between a raspberry, black¬ 
berry and loganberry. If you like one or all of these fruits, 
you’re sure to rejoice over this new little number—it’s better 
than all the rest. 
Canned with a syrup like most other fruits, these big 
luscious fellows make an elegant showing in sherbet glasses, 
topped with a spoon of vanilla ice cream. Juicy and fragrant 
are the freshly baked pies made with these berries and a can 
of them (a number two can, mind you) sells for 32 cents. 
Jelly made from the thrice-crossed berry is tart-sweet 
and smooth. A jar of it makes a thoughtful gift for the 
invalid friend. And at 25 cents you can’t do better.” 
Market Growers Journal, October 15th issue, 1938— 
“Eoysenberries Grown for Quick Freeze by Michigan 
Woman With State’s Largest Irrigated Plantation. 
Irene Jarvis, Lapeer, Michigan, has the largest Boysen¬ 
berry Plantation in the State and after careful test as to their 
suitability for the frozen-food market is propagating 100,000 
plants.” 
SET PLANTS 8 x 8. A closer planting could be used 
for domestic purposes. 
The Flint Journal, May 7th issue, 1938— 
“Woman at Lapeer Successful with 
Boysenberry Plantation. 
Irene Jarvis of Lapeer was among those successful in 
obtaining 1500 plants from the original Boysenberry Planta¬ 
tion in California, Today, one mile South of Hotel Barrett 
and a quarter of a mile East, in the city of Lapeer, is a replica 
of the original Boysenberry plantation planted and cared for 
just as the one which is so successful in California.” 
A customer from San Antonio, Texas, says: “I note the 
write-up in Market Growers Journal of October 15th of the 
wonderful things said about the Boysenberry. My sister had 
one which covered a fence some fifty feet and six to eight 
feet high. From this vine she put up as high as fifty quarts 
in a single year.” 
Here is a typical tray 
of Boysenberries ready 
for quick freezing. Frozen 
down in their natural 
state, they retain all of 
the fine qualities of fresh 
Boysenberries. The Boy- 
senberry is one berry 
which may be frozen sue 
cessfully without sugar. 
With this new variety, 
can you VISUALIZE its 
great potential market as 
yet untouched by compe¬ 
tition with tremendous 
profits for those who 
have facilities for the 
“frozen pack”? 
The Detroit News, Sunday, May 8, 1938^- 
“Michigan Welcomes New Berry. 
The Boysenberry, named for Rudolph Boysen, is a cross 
between the blackberry, the red raspberry and the loganberry. 
It ripens the first week in July. A single plant will produce 
a dozen to twenty canes. Six plants will supply a family of 
four persons, according to numerous experiments. The 
enormous berries, more than an inch long, are seedless and 
piquant ill flavor. The brambles have been able to withstand 
temperatures of 20 degrees below zero without damage. Roots 
should be planted not later than the middle of June. Recently 
introduced into Michigan, it promises to prove a popular 
variety for the home garden and is well worth a trial.” 
CHOOSE THE BOYSENBERRY IN PREFER- 
ENCE TO ANY OTHER BERRY BECAUSE: 
1. The Boysenberry is the most prolific yielder of any vine- 
berry grown. When a plantation reaches maturity, a yield 
of 7,000 quarts per acre should result. 
2. It is the largest vineberry grown, often measuring two 
inches in length. Ninety-two have filled a two-quart jar. 
T he cost of picking is less because a quart is filled so 
quickly, 
3. A price of 30c to 35c per quart can easily he secured for 
this new variety. HUGH PROFITS RESULT. When 
one takes into consideration that less than one-tenth of 
the population in the United States have ever tasted the 
Boysenberry, it will be some time before the demand can be 
supplied for this new luscious berry. 
4. For “Quick Freezing,” the Boysenberry is the finest berry 
on the market. It can be frozen like so many marbles or 
with sugar. Packed by this method, it is extremely profit 
able sold to Hotels, Restaurants, Commercial Pie Bakers, 
Confectioners, Ice Cream Manufacturers, Canners and 
Preservers. 
5. For canning purposes, it has no equal. Its jams and jellies 
are superb. On the Pacific coast, the Boysenberry became 
famous because it is so adaptable to pies. 
6 High in Vitamin C content, Boysenberry juice is not only 
exceedingly palatable hut very healthful and a new drink 
called Caltone made exclusively out of Boysenberry juice 
is sold not only in the United States but abroad. 
7. The Boysenberry is one variety which every grower, large 
or small, should have. It is easy to grow and sure to 
produce. _ Its merits surpass those of any other berry. 
BECOME ONE OF THE FIRST TO GROW THE 
BOYSENBERRY IN YOUR COMMUNITY AND
