Boysenberry ££,es r| ESw°n; *<! 
to 80 berries fill a pint basket, while 
of blackberries it would take 200 ber¬ 
ries or more. Berries 1% to 2 inches 
long and 1 inch thick are not unusual. 
The plant is a cross between Black¬ 
berry, Raspberry and Loganberry, 
combining size, heavy bearing and 
fine taste of these fruits. Boysen¬ 
berry will be a moneymaker for the 
market gardener; it is Just becoming 
popular; start a planting now. The 
plant has stood 17 degrees below zero 
without damage, and it came through 
the extreme heat and dry weather of 
last summer in splendid shape. It was 
not attacked by grasshoppers or other 
insects. The canes can be tied to 
stakes or to wires same as most other 
berry varieties. Good rich garden 
soil, or where the soil is rather light, 
a heavy application of well rotted barn 
manure will produce enormous crops. 
Easiest culture. Plant Boysenberries: 
you will like them. Nice plants, 3 for 
40c; 10 for $1.15; 25 for $2.70; 100 for 
$10.00; postpaid. 
Juneberry or Service Berry 
A good substitute for the large Swamp 
Huckleberry or Whortleberry, which it 
resembles in appearance and quality. 
Fruit comes in clusters, reddish-purple 
in color, changing to bluish-black 
when fully ripe. Flavor a mild, rich 
sub-acid; excellent as a dessert fruit 
or canned. It is extremely hardy, not 
thorny, grows bushy to a height of 7 
or 8 ft. Would make a nice orna¬ 
mental shrub also, and is often used 
for that purpose, as it is very showy 
when in full bloom. Juneberry makes 
n<\ fiber-roots; it is not a fast grower, 
but lasts for many years. I would call 
Juneberry a desirable combination 
flowering and fruit plant. 30c each; 
3 for 75c; 10 for $2.20; postpaid. 
Dwarf Blueberry pi° a r nt ^ou 
need a low, wet place, shaded, where 
the soil usually turns sour and few, if 
any other plants would grow. Such a 
spot is just the right place for the 
Dwarf Blueberry; it increases rapidly, 
making a pretty dense growth of 
heavy producing plants about 15 
inches high. I do not recommend this 
plant for dry land or sunny places. 
The berries are of good size, black 
with a blue bloom, very sweet; excel¬ 
lent for fresh dessert fruit, drying or 
for canning. Perfectly hardy, even in 
the extreme North. Plants are scarce, 
order early. 3 for 50c; 10 for $1.50; 25 
for $3.00; postpaid. 
‘KA’j—f Peppermint. Mentha Piperita, 
1 * 1 X 111 the true hardy variety. The 
leaves are used for mint sauce and 
mint julep. 25c each; 3 for 50c; post¬ 
paid. 
riAnrkamr The variety I sell is 
DGWCeny Lucretia Dewberry. It 
is of the blackberry type, trails on the 
ground. The new growth is left on 
the ground for the first winter, where 
it can be covered conveniently with 
straw or leaves. The following spring, 
after cutting off all old canes, the new 
growth of previous year is tied up to 
the wire trellis or stake for bearing. 
The berries are larger than regular 
blackberries, and the plant bears ex¬ 
tra well. Nice plants, 3 for 25c; 10 for 
60c; 25 for $1.25; 100 for $4.00; post¬ 
paid. 
Buffalo Berry R tg* 
size of currants literally covering 
twigs and branches. Make excellent 
preserves and jelly. Bush absolutely 
hardy; would also make a desirable 
ornamental shrub. I am offering this 
shrub at the request of many of my 
customers. 30c each; 3 for 75c; 10 for 
$2.10; prepaid. 
American Elder 
A native shrub of tall growth with 
stout stem, eventually growing into 
tree form. The small white flowers 
come in large flat clusters, fragrant, 
and appearing in spring. At that time 
the shrub is very showy. Later there 
are many large clusters of black ber¬ 
ries which ripen in August and Sep¬ 
tember. Birds are very fond of the 
berries, and in many instances they 
are used for cooking and for coloring 
of fruit juices. For centuries this 
Elder furnished its flowers, berries, 
even its leaves and bark for medicinal 
purposes, and is still regarded as a 
drug-yielding plant. 2 ft. shrubs, 25c 
each; 3 for 65c; 10 for $1.50; postpaid. 
U Ar . Vina Humulus Lupus. The 
roo t i s perfectly hardy, 
makes a new vine every year, which 
is of extra strong, vigorous growth. 
The blossoms, golden-yellow in color, 
come in panicle's about 6 ipches long, 
much like large strawflowers, and are 
often used in dry winter bouquets. 
This is the variety of Hop grown in 
large plantations for brewery pur¬ 
poses. Due to its extra strong growth, 
and the pretty blossoms, I recommend 
this Hop-Vine for covering unsightly 
places, fences or old tree trunks. The 
true Hop-Vines, 30c each; 3 for 70c; 
10 for $2.00. 
Holt's Mammoth Sage 
Of excellent flavor; the plant is hardy 
with a light cover of straw or leaves 
over winter. Should be in every gar¬ 
den. 25c each; 3 for 50c; postpaid. 
T rtrrrrnVkorrv See Picture above. A cross 
uwyuuucii i between a Blackberry and a 
Raspberry. Fruit extra large, dark red, with 
mild, pleasant and vinous flavor. Seeds small, 
soft and few; plant grows strong, bears large 
clusters of berries. In Nebraska and north of 
here it should have a cover over winter, consist¬ 
ing of straw. More Loganberries should be 
planted, as it is one of the finest berry fruits 
that can be had. Nice plants, 30c each; 3 for 
75c; 10 for $2.20; 26 for $5.00; 100 for $17.00; 
postpaid. 
Ynnna"L>£ i ITV This new berry has been in- 
* * Y troduced in recent years. 
The plant is a vigorous grower, and a heavy 
bearer; it is hardy in the Middle West; how¬ 
ever, I recommend a light cover of straw over 
winter for best results and extra good bearing. 
The berries are as large as Loganberries, pur¬ 
plish-black; in quality they resemble raspberries. 
Nice plants, 3 for 30c; 10 for 80c; 25 for $1.80; 
postpaid.
