2 Zilke’s Boysenberry Plants are Heavy Rooted 
THORNLESS BOYSENBERRIES 

We are happy to offer you this great berry [| 
which is without a thorn and this means much in 
the handling. The Thornless Boysenberry yields 
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 handling the vines and 
picking the berries. The thornless variety has all 
the characteristics 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 45c; 6 for 
70c. For larger amounts see page 11. 
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 Thornless Boysenberry 
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 seeds 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 neces- 
sary because it has a very high sugar content.

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.
