Boysenberry wiesTnoVn; a 6 o 
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 
■oil, 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 $1.00; 25 for $2.00; 100 
for $7.00; postpaid. 
Dwarf Blueberry pi° a r nt l ?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. 
T A cross between a Blackber- 
Loganberry ry and a Raspber ry. 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, consisting 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; 25 for 
$5.00; 100 for $17.00; postpaid. 
This new berry has been in- 
Youngberry 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 hearing. 
The berries are as large as Loganberries, pur¬ 
plish-black; in quality they resemble raspber¬ 
ries. Nice plants, 3 for 30c; 10 for 80c; 25 for 
$1.80; postpaid. 
American Elder 
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 berries 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; post¬ 
paid. 
The variety I sell Is 
JJeWberry 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. 
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 
no 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. 
Buffalo Berry gSMUTS 
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.

How to Grow Asparagus 
Manure the ground heavily, using well rotted barn manure. 
Make a trench 8 to 10 inches deep. Have 4 inches of good 
rich ground on the bottom, spread the roots out evenly and 
fill in about 3 to 4 inches of soil. Leave the rest of the 
trench lay open for the first summer. Let all stalks grow 
the first year. Fill the trench up in the fall of the first 
year. Let several stalks grow on each plant the second 
year. In the third year allow one stalk per plant to grow 
l 'P. 9 ut a " others as soon as they appear above the ground. 
Cultivate occasionally, l'lant 1 ft. apart in the row, the 
rows 3 ft. apart.
