Immense New Boysenberry 
ORIGIN 
The Boysenberry was developed from three 
blackberries of unknown origin, Cuthbert rasp¬ 
berry, and loganberry. All of these berries are 
hardy and while we have only had the Boysen¬ 
berry for two winters, our experiments have 
indicated that it is just as hardy as its parents. 
COLD SECTIONS 
Boysenberries have been exposed to 17 
degrees below zero the past winter and were 
not killed, while other brambles around them 
were completely frozen. See The Country Gen¬ 
tleman article, page 39, August number “The 
Boysenberry Proves Hardy.”

TRUE TO NAME 
Our Boysenberry plants are absolutely 
guaranteed to be true to name. There is 
not the slightest chance to find among 
them anything but a No. 1 plant because 
they have been carefully grown from or¬ 
iginal stock and carefully separated from 
all other stock. 
IMMENSE SIZE 
It will take from 120 to 160 young 
berries or 200 or more blackberries to fill 
a pint basket. 60 to 80 Boysenberries 
will do it. In California the Boysenberry 
has produced 13,000 pounds to the acre. 
VERY SWEET 
If the Boysenberry is permitted to re¬ 
main on the vine until it is fully ripe it is 
much sweeter than any other vineberry. 
When eating fresh, no sugar is necessary 
because it has a very high sugar content. 
USES 
No vineberry can compare with its de¬ 
licious flavor when it is made into jelly, 
jam, marmalade, or canned. In addition 
to this, it makes a most excellent foun¬ 
tain drink by adding four times water 
and a little sugar. Those ice cream mak¬ 
ers who have tried it in sherbet immedi¬ 
ately found it to be the very best seller. 
IMMENSE PRODUCTION AND 
PROFIT 
Ted Moss, Mentone, Calif., has made 
affidavit that he set out 100 Boysenberry 
plants the spring of 1935 and made from 
this planting $311.10 by June 30, 1936. 
100 plants will set out 1/lOth of an acre. 
Therefore, this was at the rate of $3,111 
per acre. 
The Boysenberry has a distinctive 
flavor, altogether different from any 
known berry. Fifty-two ladies ques¬ 
tioned on one day, after tasting it, said 
that its flavor was somewhat suggestive 
of the raspberry.
