The largest of all 
Boysenberry berries known; 60 
to 80 berries fill a pint basket, while of 
blackberries it would take 200 berries or 
more. Berries 1% to 2 inches long and 
1 inch thick are not unusual. The plant 
is a cross between Blackberry, Raspberry 
and Loganberry, combining size, heavy 
bearing and fine taste of these fruits. 
Boysenberry will be a money-maker 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 soil, or where the soil is rather 
light, a heavy application of well rotted 
barn manure will produce enormous 
crops. Easiest culture. Plant Boysen- 
berries: you will like them. Nice plants, 
3 for 40c; 10 for $1.00; 25 for $2.00; 100 
sy for $7.00; postpaid. 
Dwarf Blueberry £07 this plant 
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 in- 
creases 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; excellent for 
fresh dessert fruit, drying or for canning. 
Perfectly hardy, even in the extreme 
North. Plants are scarce, order early.

Juneberry or Service Berry 
A good substitute for the large Swamp 
Huckleberry or Whortleberry, which it 
resembles in appearante 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 ornamental shrub also, and 
is often used for that purpose, as it is 
very showy when in full bloom. June-
