Boysenberry is a sensational new 
berry. It was introduced in 1932 in Cali¬ 
fornia. It is a cross between the Cali¬

a little of each of these fruits all in one 
giant, nearly seedless, beautiful wine- 
colored berry, with a flavor that you will

yet firm enough to stand handling and 
shipping to market. The vines are 
hardy, have withstood temperatures of 
10 degrees below zero.
