SUGGESTIONS FOR 
GARDEN GROWERS 
If Possible Select Mature Plants 
Fall Plantinss 
Are Successful 
Use Two-Year Transplants 
How a Specialist 
Developes the 
Transplants 
Boysenberry growing is a 
specialty business. Just as the 
products canned and juiced 
from the Boysenberry are spe¬ 
cialties highly commercialized, 
so does the work of developing 
fine Northern-Grown plants re¬ 
quire the services of a specialist. 
The development of Strong 
; No. 1 twoyear transplants is 
an interesting example. Select¬ 
ing Strong No. 1 tips, we trans¬ 
plant in a soil especially fitted 
for excellent root development. 
After the plants are well es¬ 
tablished, we practice a routine 
at regular and frequent inter¬ 
vals of fertilizing, irrigating, 
cultivating and cutting the 
canes back above the crown of 
the plant. 
Since the planting of the aver¬ 
age garden grower requires only 
a few plants to occupy the 
space available, more mature 
plants are generally selected. 
The finest among these, of 
course, are the PARENT plants 
—GENUINE Boysenberry plants 
from the original Boysenberry 
Plantation in California, now 
acclaimed and over three years 
old. Transplanted early, these 
plants should be full bearing 
although some set back may re¬ 
sult from moving from one lo¬ 
cation to another in the Spring. 
Next in line are the full two 
year old plants which, in real¬ 
ity, are two and a half years 
of age. Last summer, thorough 
emphasis was put upon their 
root development. With cane 
growth cut back until about 
September 1st, the plants are 
vigorous—ready to commence 
unlimited growth for their new 
owner. While these plants will 
not yield many berries this sea¬ 
son, the plants should be equal 
in size next Fall to our fine 
strong Parent plants and full 
bearing. 
Never put off tomorrow what 
you can do today is as true in 
Boysenberry culture as in any¬ 
thing else. 
A planting made this Spring 
will be underway by Fall so 
if you can, make your planting 
now. However, a very success¬ 
ful planting may be made this 
Fall if the plants are planted in 
their dormant stage or if those, 
who live within close proximity 
of the Plantation drive to La¬ 
peer and pick up their stock, a 
planting may be made as early 
as late August or September.
