CURIOSITY 
In California where the Boysenberry has been offered 
for sale for a few summers, had you been passing 
the fields of those lucky growers who had them, when they 
were ripe, you would have thought they were holding an 
old time camp meeting. Hundreds of people came from 
many miles around in order to see taste, and purchase this 
marvelous berry right in the fields at two or three times 
higher price than that for which other vineberries were 
selling. 
TRELLIS 
Vines grow much better if left on the ground and merely 
trained in straight rows. This does not give the sun an 
opportunity to burn your vines nor the wind a chance to 
break them to pieces. Do not put vines on trellis until 
they commence to bud or about February or March, just 
before they start to set your crop. Trellis should consist of 
two wires. No. 14 gauge, 20 inches apart. 
FERTILIZATION 
There is nothing bettc; *for fertilization than barnyard or 
chicken manure. However, you may carefully use any 
kind of fertilizer that is high in nitrogen. 
CULTURE 
If you will set our Boysenberry plants very early you 
may have a few sample berries the first season, but your 
big crop will come the following summer. 
CULTIVATION 
Berry vines are shallow rooted. Therefore, deep and' 
frequent cultivation merely tears to pieces the roots 
which cost good money to develop. It has been found that 
about the only cultivation necessary, to most soil, is to re¬ 
move weeds. We would suggest that you plant them in 
rows say 8 feet wide, and’ 4 to 6 feet within the drill; this 
will take about 1,360 plants to the acre. 
RESERVE NOW 
There have now been reserved more plants that were 
sold up to January 1st last season and if you desire to 
plant the Boysenberry this coming season it would surely 
be wise to make your reservation now. Not l-10th of the 
population of the United States has seen or tasted this 
marvelous berry and when they do there is going to be 
the greatest stampede for these plants that has ever been 
known for any plant. 
There will not be sufficient plants during the coming 
season to supply the demand. Therefore, you should make 
reservation at once.
