The Boysenberry is the Largest : 
In 1932 we secured the few plants there 
were in existence of a new berry that Mr. 
Rudolph Boysen, Superintendent of Parks of 
Anaheim, California, had propagated by 
crossing Loganberries, Raspberries, and 
Blackkerries. They grew wonderfully and in 
1933 we realized we had the berry we had 
been looking for all of these years. 
This very superior new variety has been 
named BOYSEN BERRY in honor of Mr. 
Boysen. 
The vine is very similar to the Young- 
berry, except the cane growth is more vigor- 
ous and the fruit spurs, that grow in the 
spring from each leaf joint on the main 
canes, average about two inches longer, thus 
the berries project well away from the vines, 
making picking very easy. There are more 
berries per spur than with Youngberries and 
the berries are much larger and ripen more 
slowly. It should be grown on a trellis four 
or five feet high. The fruit starts ripening 
about June first in this locality, and they last 
several weeks, finishing in August. It is abso- 
lutely the largest bush or vine berry that 
we have ever seen. In color the fruit is

full fruit. 
Mr. Knott inspecting 
Berries in the field 
identical with Youngberries, but it is more 
highly flavored and is less seedy. 
Reporis from trial planting made in var- 
ious parts of the world have been very favor- 
able. It is surprising to find a superior vari- 
ety giving equally good results in Georgia, 
New York, New Zealand or Norway. 
With ample irrigation Boysenberries can 
be spaced as close as 6 feet apart, in rows 6 
feet across. In non-irrigated districts, we be- 
lieve 8 feet by 8 feet spacing will be better. 
In some sections of light rainfall, even farther 
spacing will prove advisable. 
Ten plants will set a 60 to 80 foot row. 
600 to 1,000 plants per acre. We have found 
it profitable to increase our own planting, 
until now we have 80 acres in berries, mosily . 
Boysenberries. 
Plant a field of Boysenberries, and next 
year when your vines are loaded with the 
finest fruit you have ever seen you will not 
only get a THRILL but the BEST RETURNS 
you have ever received from that land.
