A NEW BERRY 
HIMALAYA GIANT 
HIS new berry is a new arrival from the north slope of 
the Himalaya mountains, 6,000 feet above the sea level. 
It is black but not a blackberry. For many centuries 
the natives of that country have been making wine of it and 
only the recent invasion by British troops has brought this 
delightful, luscious fruit to our civilization. The vine is a 
vigorous grower, making a growth of from 20 to 30 feet in 
one year which can be trained on a fence or arbor similar to 
grape vines. The enormous clusters of large sized berries 
ripen all summer making the Himalaya the most productive 
of all varieties known. They have no core and the flavor is 
sweet. Of unusual richness and when ripe will literally 
melt in your mouth. For pies and jellies, the Himalaya 
berry is a perfect success being ahead of any similar fruit. 
The severity of their native climate has made the berries 
hardy and both plant and fruit will stand extremes of heat 
and cold better than any other variety. It is hard for you 
to realize what a treat a dish of these new berries would be. 
We believe they will be in great demand a s soon as 
they are known and enough grown in the United States to 
supply the demand. There has never been a kick from 
parties growing the Himalaya, but all praise it above all 
other berries and say its the finest berry ever introduced. A 
Mr. Minor picked from two plants in 1908 , $ 31.00 worth of 
berriesat 5 cents per quart. In 1909 he picked over $ 54.00 
worth. The Himalava is no dead wood but fruits on the 
same wood for years. But it is necessary to prune some 
of the old and young wood away each season, as it makes a 
heavy growth of wood each season. One plant in one year 
will give from 25 to 50 young plants a season, the first season.
