"DO AS I SAY—" 
BERRIES UNDER 
DIFFICULTY 
Mr. and Mrs. Vance bought a beauti¬ 
ful place at Monterey Park, California. 
The house was perched on the side of a 
hill which sloped up abruptly from the 
back door. 
Mrs. Vance wanted a berry garden, 
and while most people, under the cir¬ 
cumstances, would have said it was im¬ 
possible, Mrs. Vance was determined to 
have it. She had some terraces made on 
the hillside and came to our nursery and 
asked for a good selection of plants just 
for home use. When she told us the con¬ 
ditions and said that she had never had 
any experience at all in growing things, 
we felt that the chances for success 
were not very good. However, we picked 
out a selection of 12 Youngberries, 14 
Boysenberries, 6 Loganberries and 30 
raspberries consisting of several kinds 
ripening at different times. Altogether 
this filled the terraces and made three 
rows 80 feet long. 
Prom these three little rows, this past 
summer, Mrs. Vance picked 761 baskets 
of berries, and as she could not begin to 
use all of them she sold $47.00 worth of 
berries. 
We saw this little garden just as the 
fruit started to ripen and can tell you it 
was beautiful. 
We said, “Mrs. Vance, how did you do 
it?” 
Her answer was, “Since I knew 
nothing about raising berries, I followed 
the instructions in your catalog im¬ 
plicitly, and this is the result.” 
In discussing this with our foreman 
after returning home, we remarked that 
if we always followed our own instruc¬ 
tions as closely as Mrs. Vance had, we 
would grow bigger crops. It seemed a 
good example of the old saying, “Do as 
I say, not as I do.” 
FINEST VARIETY FOR CANNING 
Many claim Boysenberries are even 
better after canning*. They retain their 
illusive flavor, beautiful color and shape 
wonderfully. Note how whole the berries 
are in the jar pictured above. 
THE PROOF OF THE 
PUDDING 
We have told you a great deal about 
Boysenberries. Perhaps you wonder if 
they are as good as we say. If they are, 
of course you will want to plant some. 
If they are not you do not want to spend 
your money and time. 
Since we feel that you will be missing 
an opportunity if you do not plant, we 
make you this offer to help you in 
reaching a decision.
