2 Only $1.00 for 9 Thornless Boysenberry Plants 
NEW BOYSENBERRY 
The new Boysenberry is of the Dewberry fam- 
ily, but much larger than Dewberries or Black- 
berries. These new berries often grow to a length 
of 2% inches by 1 inch. It takes only from 60 to 
80 Boysenberries to fill a pint box and with com- 
mon blackberries it requires 150 to 200 berries. 
Fruit is a purplish maroon color. Plants can be 
trellised like grape vines. Boysenberries have 
been exposed to 15 degrees below zero during the 
past winter and were not killed, while other 
brambles around them were completely frozen, 
one grower stated. The seed are very small and 
very few in comparison to other berries. If the 
Boysenberry is permitted to remain on the vine 
until it is fully ripe it is much sweeter than any 
other vine berry. When eating fresh, no sugar is 
necessary because it has a very high sugar con- 
tent. Heavy 1 year old plants, 5 for 40c; 12 for 
75c. For larger amounts see page 11. 
THORNLESS BOYSENBERRIES 
We are happy to offer you this great berry 
which is without a thorn and this means much in | _ a 
the handling. The Thornless Boysenberry yields New Boysenberry 
heavier and starts ripening about one week sooner 
than the thorny variety. The berries themselves, are identical, both in size and flavor, 
but the canes are perfectly smooth, which means greater economy and comfort in hand- 
ling the vines and picking the berries. The thornless variety has all the characteris- 
tics of the ordinary variety except the thorns, and is a very vigorous grower. Be the 
first in your neighborhood to have this new variety. Heavy 1 yr. plants 3 for 50c; 
9 for $1.00. For larger amounts see page 11. 
GIANT BLUEBERRIES 
Not only does the blueberry produce big juicy berries 2 to 3 times as large as 
common blueberries, but it is ornamental on the lawn or in the shrubbery border and 
very easy to grow. The foliage is dark green, long and narrow, blossoms bell-shaped 
and pinkish white. During the autumn the leaves turn bronze, and during the winter 
months the twigs are red. The bushes will grow to the height of 8 feet. 
For best results plant on acid soil. Low muck or sand soils are usually very acid. If your soil does 
not contain acid add a little peat moss for acidity when planting. Plant two or more plants to insure 
proper pollinization, about 7 feet apart. If your soil is not acidy, mix the soil with old sawdust or soil 
from the bottom of an old wood pile. However, the very best thing to use is our SODUS ACID HUMUS, 
which is a sour fertilizer used for blueberries or evergreens. 
When using the SODUS ACID HUMUS dig the hole about 6 _ 
inches deeper than is required and fill the bottom with HUMUS 
mixed with regular soil. Set the plant and fill the hole with 
the same mixture and keep the soil moist. Write the U. S. 
Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., for Bulletin on 
Cultivated Blueberries. It’s FREE.
