M ^ otze, beauty, Flavor 
For three years editors of farm and garden magazines have written about this new king of all BRAMBLE 
berries. Has produced 11,500 one-pound baskets per acre, which sold for $1,737.50 on a roadside stand. The 
berries are V/i to 2 inches in length, color a beautiful purple, similar to Youngberry, but are more highly flavored 
and less seedy. 
NORTHERN GROWN PLANTS 
Large, Thrifty, Heavy-Rooted, and Are in a Class 
by Themselves for True Quality 
The Boysenberry was originated in California. Four years ago we 
bought our plants from that source, with the intention of developing 
and hardening them in our northern climates; now we believe that 
we are the largest growers here in the North of hardy Boysenberry 
plants. They have come through below zero weather splendidly; they 
are also drought-resistant—three years ago when we had an extended 
drought we did not lose one of our entire plantings. Today about 
90% of Boysenberries offered are still southern grown plants. Be 
safe and buy our hardy northern grown plants. 
The Flavor of Boysenberry Is Superb 
It is a mild, rich, pleasing blend of the raspberry, loganberry and 
blackberry. You will be proud of your Boysenberries, your neigh' 
bors will admire them, and you will agree with us, saying that they 
are the finest berries you have ever tasted, either fresh, canned, in 
pies, jams, or jellies.

CULTURE OF THE BOYSENBERRY: Set plants 8x8 feet apart, 
both in and between the rows, as the root system spreads out con' 
siderably in search of moisture and plant food. The Boysenberry 
makes a very thrifty growth the first year. The vines often grow 10 
feet. Let the vines creep on the ground the first year, and in the 
more northern states, the extreme North, cover lightly with straw, 
leaves or soil before the hard freezes begin, just to be on the safe 
side. In the spring remove this covering, and when the Boysenberry 
commences to bud tie the vines to a trellis, or wire, stretched on 
posts about 21/2 feet from the ground. Right after fruiting cut old 
vines down to ground, remove and burn them, this throws all the 
strength and energy into the roots for producing young vines, as it 
IS these young vines that bear the fruit crop the following season. 
As outlined above, leave the young vines on the ground during fall 
and winter; in the spring, tie them to the trellis, etc. Repeat this 
practice year after year. Now a word about fertilization: Humus is 
always welcome. Barnyard manure, decayed leaves or vegetable 
matter of some sort worked well into the soil along the rows is 
beneficial to the Boysenberry; however, if this sort of fertilization is 
not available, we recommend the use of a combination commercial 
fertilizer, applied at the rate of 200 to 500 pounds to the acre, or 
’/4 to 1/2 pound to a plant; this, of course, should be well worked 
into the land, either-by drilling or harrowing. You can secure this 
commercial fertilizer from most every hardware or feed store. About 
600 plants to the acre. 
BOYSENBERRIES CREATED A SENSATION 
Mr. Wm. Tynsdale, of Washington, writes: "The Boysen' 
berry plants that I bought last year raised their first crop this 
year and what a sensation they created; the talk of the com' 
munity; unable to supply the demand. I have had lots of de' 
mand for the plants."
