Boysenberry and Youngberry 
HIGHEST QUALITY OF ALL BRAMBLE FRUITS 
"All who have used my Youngberries during the past tvro 
years are strong in their praise of them as a canning berry, 
making the very richest juice and jelly. Some prefer to eat 
them raw with sugar and cream to any other berry."

NEW BOYSENBERRY $&***££: 
berry. We offer it because of the tremendous large size of 
the berries, because of its very prolific fruiting and lastly 
because we think that both the Boysenberries and Young- 
berries (both very similar in flavor) are the highest qual¬ 
ity of ail bramble fruits. 
The Youngberries start ripening their fruit soon after 
the Strawberry season and at a time when there are few 
other berries, and the Boysenberries follow later thus 
prolonging the season so that these marvelous berries can 
be enjoyed over quite a long season. The luxuriant and 
rampant growth of these canes unmolested by insects or 
disease insures full maturity of the crop of these extra 
large luscious berries even through adverse fruiting seasons. 
We strongly recommend both the Youngberries and 
Boysenberries to our customers in all except the most 
northern states and exposed locations. In states north of 
the Ohio River the canes will need to be placed on the 
ground and covered with straw and earth for assurance 
of protection during the extremely cold winters. 
Boysenberries—Highest Quality of All Bramble 
Fruits. Note the Size—2 inches in Length. 
I planted 24 of your Thornless 
Youngberries in 1937. This year we 
gathered 296 pints of berries from 
them.

Several months ago I purchased 
from you some berry plants—I just 
want to state they are all doing fine. 
The Boysenberries are simply grand, 
just covered with blossoms and many 
berries.

We consider Youngberries and 
Boysenberries the finest vine berries 
yet developed. They have s delec¬ 
table flavor and a rich deep red 
juice surpassed by no other fruit, in our estimation. 
Boysenberry, Youngberry, 
Thornless Youngberry 
These varieties are so closely related that we are describing 
them all under this one heading. They were originated on the 
Pacific Coast and have found a place in the gardens and com¬ 
mercial plantings. They are now planted in almost every state In 
the union here in the middle west.

the greatest success ever scored by any of the berry family. It not 
only bears very heavily, but the fruit is easy to handle, is very 
attractive, ships well, keeps well, cans well, and has so many 
commereial possibilities, and fits in so well in the home garden, 
that everybody should be interested in having a few vines or a 
commercial planting. 
THE THORNLESS YOUNGBERRY 
During the past severe winter the 
has proven considerably hardier than the common. Yield is 
very heavy—in fact a one-year plot test showed the Thorn¬ 
less type to outyield the eommon Youngberry by twenty per 
cent. The very large size of both of these Youngberries 
may be visualized from the report of Peter Steig, Shandon, 
Ohio, that he produced 25 Youngberries that filled a pint 
basket. 
Is a sport of the common type and is almost identical except that 
the canes are entirely thornless and as smooth as velvet to handle 
with the bare hands. This, of course, is a decided advantage both 
when training and trimming canes and when picking the fruit.
