IN EW! BOYSENBERRY . 
Absolutely No Stickers—Canes Smooth as Grape Vines 













Now You can pick and handle Boysenberries without 
gloves. This new discovery has revolutionized the 
growing of this luscious wine-red berry. The great drawback 
before was those vicious thorns. Now the berries can be 
picked and vines handled without gloves, for the canes and 
stems of Keith’s thornless Boysenberry plants are abso- 
lutely thornless—as smooth as grape vines. 
Berries Large as Plums 
The biggest berry ever developed. 112 inches long, 
1 inch wide—often larger. Large as plums, plump, 
long, thick, 50 fill a quart. A cross between the 
Loganberry, raspberry and blackberry. They are a 
rare berry. And they are as easily grown as rasp- 
berries or blackberries. 
Berries Liked by Everybody 
Berries wine-red and fully twice as large as blackberries, 
up to 2 inches long. Ideal for home uses, have that ’’rasp- 
berry-blackberry’’ flavor, unlike any berry you have ever 
tasted, liked by everybody. They make the best of pies, 
jams, etc., and are delicious canned. Commercial can- 
ners want them above any other berry. When you taste 
thornless Boysenberry, either fresh, in pies or canned, 
you will never be without them—and t} >-are-so easily 
grown in your garden or field.

weeks ahead of the common thorny Boysenberry—the 
old type. Gives you berries earlier than ever before. 
Berries Sweet 
There is no other berry that has the sweet luscious 
flavor that you will find in this new berry. Why? 
Because it’s a cross between the Loganberry, the rasp- 
berry, and the blackberry. No other like it.
