z 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 
75c. For larger amounts see page 11. 
BOYSENBERRY 
The new Boysenberry is of the Dewberry family, but 
much larger than Dewberries or Blackberries. 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 common blackberries it requires 150 to 200 berries. 
Fruit is a purplish maroon color. Plants can be trellised 
like grape vines. Boysenberries have been exposed to 15 
degrees below zero during the past winter and were not 
killed, while other brambles around them were completely os . 
frozen, one grower stated. The seeds are very small and Thornless Boysenberry 
very few in comparison to other berries. If the Boysen- 
berry 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 necessary because it has a very high sugar content. 
Heavy 1 yr. plants, 6 for 50c. For larger amounts see page 11. 
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 ZILKE’S PEAT MOSS 
(see page 33 for Peat Moss) which is a sour fertilizer used for blueberries or evergreens. When using 
the PEAT MOSS dig the hole about 6 inches deeper than is required and fill the bottom with PEAT 
MOSS mixed with regular soil. Set the plant and fill the hole with the same mixture and keep the soil 
moist. Write the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., for Bulletin on Cultivated 
Blueberries. It’s FREE. ;
