Boysenberry long, about three times 
the size of regular Blackberries, black, 
juicy, and of a flavor unexcelled by any 
other berry. This is a cross between Black- 
herry, Raspberry, and Loganberry, rapidly 
becoming the best paid berry on the mar- 
ket.. Hardy and drought resistant. Pro- 
duces a vigorous growth, and fruit of finest 
quality in most any good garden soil. Per- 
mit the young growth to lay on ‘the ground 
where it can be covered in -early winter 
with tomato tops, leaves or straw. In the 
spring tie the vines up to stakes or a 3- 
wire fence, for bearing. After picking the 
berries cut out the vines that have pro- 
duced the crop. Repeat the same method 
every year, always leaving the new vines 
for next year’s crop on the ground. The 
plant is free from insects or disease, and 
with the culture described above, anyone 
can have lasting success with Boysenber- 
ries. Nice, well rooted plants, 3 for 40c; 10 
for $1.00; 25 for $2.00; 100 for $7.00; prepaid 
alk Th iety I sell is L 
e variety I sell is Lucre- 
Dewberry tia Dewberry. It is of the 
blackberry type, trails on the ground. The 
new growth is left on the ground for the 
first winter, where it can be covered con- 
veniently with straw or leaves. The follow- 
ing spring, after cutting off all old canes, 
the new growth of previous year is tied up 
to the wire trellis or stake for bearing. 
The berries are larger than regular black- 
berries, and the plant bears extra well.

is new berry has been 
Youngberry introduced in recent 
years. The plant is a vigorous grower, and 
a heavy bearer; it is hardy in the Middle 
West; however, I recommnd a light cover 
of straw over winter for best results and 
extra good bearing. The berries are as 
large as Loganberries, purplish-black; in 
quality they resemble raspberries.

Thornless Boysenberry (ioe: 
the reg- 
ular Boysenberries in size, quality of the 
fruit, growing habits, and is easier to work 
with, because the plant does not make 
thorns. Wherever the-winter is expected to 
bring helow zero temperatures, the young 
vines on the ground should have a good 
mulch, about 6 inches deep, of leaves or 
straw. This mulch must not be applied too 
early in the fall. Wait until heavy freez- 
ing weather sets in, because Boysenherries 
are in the habit of becoming dormant very 
late in the season. Every few years Boy- 
senberries should have some fertilizing. Ap- 
plying well rotted barn-manure around the 
plants in early spring, and working it in 
the ground, will bring splendid results. 
Plant all Boysenberries about 5 ft. apart 
in the row. Our Thornless Boysenberries, 
nice well rooted plants, 3 for 60c; 10 for 
$1.65; prepaid to you. 
“Dwarf Blueberry For this pian you 
need a low 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 increases rapid- 
ly, making a pretty dense growth of heavy 
producing plants about 15 inehes high. I 
do not recommend this plant for dry land 
or sunny places. The berries are of good 
size, black with a blue hloom, very sweet; 
excellent for fresh dessert fruit, drying or 
for canning. Perfectly hardy, even in the 
extreme North. Plants are :scarce, order 
early. 3 for 50c; 10 for ‘$1.50; 25 for $3.00; 
postpaid. 
Shepherdia. Red ber- 
ries about the size of 
Buffalo Berry 
currants literally covering twigs and 
branches. Make excellent preserves and 
jelly. Bush absolutely hardy; would also 
make a desirable ornamental shrub. I am 
offering this shrub at the request of many 
of my customers. 30c each; 3 for 75c; 10 
for $2.10; prepaid.
