the size of regular Blackberries, black, 
juicy, and of a flavor unexcelled by any 
other berry. This is a cross between Black- 
berry, 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 
herries 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 55c: 10

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 below zero temperatures, the youn 
vines on the ground should have a Sond 
mulch, ahout 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 Boysenberries 
are in the hahit 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 85c; 10 for 
$2.65; prepaid to you.
