BOYSENBERRY ARVISTA Gardens 
SHIPPING TIME—We ship Irises from July 1 to end of season; 
Peonies from September 15, and Poppy roots from July 15; Hemerocallis 
either spring or fall, except in their bloom season. 
It is our experience that normal rhizomes grown under Michigan con- 
ditions of soil and moisture give quicker and better results than the 
super-size, water-soaked roots from some other localities. The climate 
of Michigan seems unusually favorable for producing hardy, vigorous 
and sturdy plant material. @ 

THE REALLY SENSATIONAL NEW 
BOYSENBERRY 
First introduced in 1932 in California, the Boysenberry is the result of the 
crossing of three varieties of Blackberry, the Red Raspberry and the Loganberry. — 
The largest and sweetest berry that grows—just oozing with rich, tempting, tangy, 
sweet juiciness—sweet enough to eat without sugar; practically no seeds or core. 
Makes the finest of fruit juices, canned fruit, jam, preserves. Raw or quick frozen, 
it is supreme in flavor. With good culture, berries attain 2 inches in length and 
l inch through. 18 selected berries have filled a quart box. 
Commercially it is the most profitable of all berries. One grower made over 
$300.00 in one season from just 100 plants. 
Our plants are shipped direct from the largest plantation in the Noere right 
here in Michigan, where they are especially grown—clipped, fertilized and irri- 
gated—tthoroughly developed for strong cane growth. Every plant is the genuine, 
original Boysenberry, unmixed with any other stock. These plants have come 
through temperatures of 20 degrees below without damage. 
Plants should be set 8 x 8 ft. 435 plants will set one acre. Vines should be 
allowed to grow on the ground, in rows, the first season; covered with straw or 
earth over winter in cold climates, then, for bearing, in the spring, should be 
loosely wound about a two-wire support to keep the berries off the ground. 
We are not offering tip-rooted plants as they have not proven satisfactory.
