An application of nitrate of soda has been applied to tip rooted plants. Immediately following the application, the irrigation sys¬ 
tem is put into operation so quick action may take place at once. For the production of fine plants on a large scale, irrigation is 
essential. 
When taking into considera¬ 
tion its ultimate possibilities, 
an early planting of the Califor¬ 
nia Boysenberry, even a,t to¬ 
day’s rather high prices for ma¬ 
ture plants is a very economical 
investment. The initial cost of 
a planting is very nominal con¬ 
sidering the profits derived 
later on. 
Accept no substitution for the 
GENUINE Boysenberry. The 
first year’s operation is very 
economical so do not be “Penny 
Wise and Pound Foolish” in an 
investment as important as the 
purchase of GENUINE North¬ 
ern-Grown Boysenberry plants.

Commercial Growers Should 
Plant Now 
It is not necessary for a pro¬ 
spective grower with a poor 
soil to postpone a Boysenberry 
planting this season. If the soil 
is not ready this Spring, prepare 
it for a Fall planting. There is 
ample time to improve soil con¬ 
ditions, before a Boysenberry 
plant reaches maturity. Most 
soils, unless very poor, are good 
enough in which to commence 
the growth of the plant so with 
proper care, a planting can be 
developed as soil conditions are 
improved. 
Natural manure provides hu¬ 
mus in the soil and it is for this 
reason in particular, that Boy¬ 
senberry Plantation. Lapeer, 
Michigan, keeps a fine herd of 
Registered Hereford cattle. By 
applying a fertilizer with the 
proper analysis, practically any 
condition of soil deficiency can 
be remedied within a compara¬ 
tively short time. 
The Boysenberry requires no 
particular soil different from 
that of any other berry except 
that it is a heavier feeder of 
fertilizer. Sand clay, a good 
loam or even muck if properly 
drained, make ideal soil for its 
cultivation. As a Boysenberry 
planting grows into maturity, 
The Boysenberry market of¬ 
fers no competition. Think, if 
you can, of any other business, 
trade or profession which is not 
highly competitive. 
For the commercial grower, 
there is a tremendous demand 
for canned Boysenberries and 
as for Boysenberry juice bot¬ 
tled in small bottles similar to 
those containing Welch grape 
juice, the market offers a real 
opportunity in the Middle West 
and the East for new industries. 
At the present time, commer¬ 
cial growers cannot plant too 
quickly nor too large an acre¬ 
age for maximum returns on 
the California Boysenberry. 
The demand for the Boysen¬ 
berry in the Middle West and 
the East has established mar¬ 
kets for its products which 
cannot be supplied for a long 
time to come. If every prospec¬ 
tive grower this year doubled 
his acreage, the market, even 
then, would be scarcely touched 
by competition for as more peo¬ 
ple taste the Boysenberry so is 
the demand for its products 
automatically increased. 
adopt the practice of improving 
soil conditions. 
BOYSENBERRY GROWING MADE EASY
