have a delectable flavor and a rich 
deep red juice surpassed by no other fruit, in our estimation.

ated from the seed of a large Young- 
berry. Attention, was attracted by its particularly large 
juice cells and the berries themselves, also were the largest 
berries in the patch. When sampled, however, the next sur- 
prise came, for there was so much more ‘“‘body” to the 
flavor, and more flavor, as it seemed, and although sweeter, 
appeared to carry with it so much of the tang of the rasp- 
berry that it was wondered if the bees had crossed the 
Youngberry from which it came, with the raspberries or 
blackberries in nearby rows. 
Genuine Nectarberry plants are not plentiful—yet our 
prices are very reasonable for a new variety with so many 
good qualities. 
Success with Boysenberries, Nectarberries and 
Youngberries 
1. Very early spring planting is essential. 
2. Use only heavy well grown plants and they prefer 
a rich moist well drained loam soil. 
3. Set plants 4 to 6 ft. apart in 6 ft. rows. 
4, Trellis after the first year or apply straw mulch 
under the trailing canes. 
5. Clean cultivation until August. 
6. Liberal spring applications of well rotted manure 
or Nitrogen fertilizer. 
7. In states north of the Ohio River the canes will 
need to be placed on the ground and covered with straw 
or earth as protection during the cold weather. You will 
be well repaid for this extra protection. 
8. Allow the fruits to fully ripen before picking to 
insure the highest quality. 

The Youngberries start ripening their fruit soon after the 
Strawberry season and at a time when there are few other 
berries. The Nectarberries and Boysenberries follow later 
thus prolonging the season so that these marvelous berries 
can be enjoyed over quite a long season.

almost identical except that the canes are entirely thorn- 
less and as smooth as velvet to handle with the bare hands. This, of course, is a decided advantage both when 
training and trimming canes and when picking the fruit. During the past severe winters the ‘‘Thornless’’ Young- 
berry has proven considerably hardier than the common. Yield is very heavyy—in fact a one-year plot test 
showed the Thornless type to outyield the common Youngberry by twenty per cent.
