BLACKBERRIES 
Cory Thornless Mammoth—Thornless form of “Mam¬ 
moth”. Its smooth canes make it a very nice berry 
for the Home Garden. 
Mammoth—Extremely vigorous, trailing habit, rapid 
grower, heavy producer. The fruit is very long, 
large, jet black, very sweet and juicy. Very popular 
because it ripens early to midseason. 
BOYSEN BERRY 
Fruit closely resembles that of the Youngberry, but 
has a finer flavor, is less seedy, at least half again as 
large, and about 10 to 15 days later. Rears a fine 
second crop. Vines are vigorous and prolific, fruiting 
the second year. Considered to be slightly more acid, 
and to contain more sugar and pectin than the 
Youngberry, which makes the fruit well suited for 
.Tams, Jellies, Pies, and accounts for the fine flavor. 
Delicious served fresh with cream. Tip roots 20c 
each; 10 for $1.65.

CULTURAL HINTS 
Irrigate all berries thoroughly and regularly through¬ 
out the growing season and keep well fertilized. 
Plant trellis varieties—Boysenberry, Blackberry, Young¬ 
berry, Loganberry—about 6 to 8 feet apart each way. 
Devote first season’s growth to formation of sturdy 
plants, leaving first canes on the ground. Start training- 
vines on fence or trellis as soon as first strong canes 
appear from center of plants the second growing season. 
1 () plants will supply an average family. 
Pruning the Cane Fruits—The cane fruits bear on the 
growth of the previous season. The first thing to remem¬ 
ber then is: cut out old canes as soon as they have fruited. 
Better done soon as possible after the crop is harvested. 
Over prolific varieties, should have all but four or five 
canes cut out to the ground. Cut back the new canes and 
their side shoots a third or so in the winter or early 
spring. 
Spraying the Cane Fruits—Refer to Pest Control 
Chart, Page 61 under “Cane Blight”, “Red Berry”, 
“Mildews”.
