Giant Cultivated Blueberries 
Delicious—Ornamental—Profitable 
Blueberries are easily grown, ornamental in the 
lawn or shrubbery border, and extremely useful 
f^om the standpoint of the fruit produced. They 
come into bearing the third year and reach full 
production in about the sixth. Ten pint boxes 
of fruit from each plant or 6,000 pints per acre, 
retailing at 25c to 40c per box. The fruit is sev¬ 
eral times as large as the wild type, frequently 
y 2 inch in diameter. 
The cultivated forms of Blueberries are easy to 
grow and practically free from disease and insect 
pests. To insure proper growth the soil should 
be acid. This soil condition can easily be pro¬ 
duced by the application of peat or tiie use of 
Sodus Acid Humus. See pages 37 and 79 for 
prices of Peat and Sodus Acid Humus. 
As two plants are required for pollination we 
recommend that you buy at least 2 plants, each 
a different variety. With each order we furnish 
complete cultural directions.

sweet berries. Grows 4 to 5 feet high.

and one of the sweetest. 4 to 5 feet high. 
RUBEL. A few days later than the above.

6 to 8 feet. The standard main crop variety for 
commercial planting.

BOYSENBERRY in Length 
Greatest Money Maker of All 
Out-Yields All Other Cane Fruits 
The Boysenberry is the most remarkable berry 
introduced in many years. It is the one berry 
that is proving its worth in all parts of the 
United States for both the home garden and the 
commercial planter. They command high prices 
on the fresh fruit markets, and are equally as 
popular in the fancy food class of canned fruits 
and preserves. 
The Boysenberry is just as easily grown as 
Blackberries or Dewberries, and is much more 
productive. The fruit is larger and of better 
quality. Many of the rich, luscious wine-col¬ 
ored berries measure 2 to 2% inches in length. 
Reports have been received of yields of nearly 
double that of Blackberries on the same farm. 
Boysenberry is no longer an experiment. It 
is a proven money-maker. Last year we were 
unable to fill all of our orders because of plant 
shortage. Order early and get a planting 
started. If you have only a home garden, don’t 
miss this delicious new berry. If you grow ber¬ 
ries for profit, Boysenberry will outyield and 
out-sell anything you have ever planted.

Rubel Blueberries 
THORNLESS BOYSENBERRY 
For years growers of cane fruits have dreamed of picking 
berries without scratches and torn clothing. Thornless Boy¬ 
senberry is the answer to that hope and dream. 
Thornless Boysenberry is equal to the thorny type in every 
respect, and has two distinct advantages. 
THORNLESS. Exactly that. The branches are smooth and 
entirely without the disagreeable thorns or briars. 
EARLY. Ripens a week ahead of the thorny type thus plac¬ 
ing the first pickings on the market at a time when the fruit 
commands the highest price. - ■ 
Prices of Thornless Boysenberry Plants: 40c each; 3 for 
$1.00; 12 for $3.50. Add one cent per plant for parcel post 
charges.

bearing season as Premier, but is a much heavier bearer. The early blooms do not show 
serious frost damage, and the fruiting season extends over a long period. Flavor rich 
and sweet, bright red in color. Holds up well as a market variety and stands long-dis¬ 
tance shipping. 
Premier

size, excellent quality, rich color and highly resistant to frost. These 
qualities make Premier a profitable market variety.

big berries during the summer and fall months with just ordinary care. It 
succeeds under practically all climatic and soil conditions, even producing 
paying crops in dry climates. Our thrifty plants set in the spring will pro¬ 
duce a crop of berries in 90 days and continue through summer and fall 
until stopped by freezing weather.
