Boysetiberries 
GROWERS, TAKE WARNING! Boysenberry is 
going to upset the Berry Business if it hasn't 
already. Change over now before it's too late. 
CS-row Boysenberries like these. We are proud of them and you will be, too. We 
will furnish heavily rooted plants full of ^tallty. You furnish the little care re¬ 
quired and YOU WIBIi HAVE THEM. 
With ample irrigation Boysenberries 
can be spaced as close os 6 feet apart, in 
rows 6 feet across. In non-irrigated dis¬ 
tracts, we believe 8 feet by 8 feet spac¬ 
ing will be better. In some sections of 
light rainfall, even farther spacing will 
prove advisable. 
10 plants will set a 60 to CO foot row. 
600 to 1000 plants per acre. 
Suggestions for Growing Boy sen Berries. 
The best time to set out the plants is 
January, February and March in Cali¬ 
fornia, and as early in the spring as the 
land can be worked in the colder sec¬ 
tions. Most seasons February is the ideal 
time in California. With irrigation the 
rows may be spaced six feet apart and 
the plants set six feet apart in the 
rows. Without irrigation we believe that 
eight-foot spacing each way will be 
better. Do not crowd them for they 
make big vines. This is a very ex¬ 
ceptional berry, for even though it pro¬ 
duces an enormous crop still the berries 
are very large, and by very large we 
mean BIG; bigger, we are sure, than 
anything you have grown or seen before. 
But in order^to get both very large ber¬ 
ries and a big crop there must be some¬ 
thing put in the ground to produce them, 
so keep them well watered and well fer¬ 
tilized and be surprised and happy with 
the results. 
After your plants have started to grow 
well, if manure is available, it will be a 
great help if you will scatter 10 or 15 
pounds of chicken manure or 20 or 25 
pounds of barnyard manure per plant 
down the irrigation furrows and work it 
into the ground. If manure is not easily 
available about one pound per plant of 
fishmeal, bloodmeal, tankage, or mixed 
fertilizer scattered in the irrigation fur¬ 
rows after the plants have started to 
grow, will make them grow big, strong 
vines the first year. You should strive 
to get a heavy vine the first summer in 
order to support a maximum crop the 
next season.
