The Thornless Boysenberry is a sport or offspring of the regular 
Thorny Boysenberry. While many Boysenberry plantings have had 
occasional thornless “sports,” they have been found to be valueless. 
Let that be a warning to the wise, be sure to get your plants from 
a proven strain. The sport our strain originated from is a distinctive 
success,

WESTHAUSER’S Heavy Bearing 
Strains — Established Money-Makers 
Early! Big cash money. Bears ten days to two weeks 
before the regular Boysenberry (its parent). This is 
a decided advantage for the grower who wants, to 
get his berries on the market when prices are at 
their peak. (The early bird catches the worm.) 
The production of the Thornless is even greater 
than those old thorny regular Boysenberry, 
which has produced over six tons per acre. 
FLAVOR is a wonderful, pleasing com- 
bination of Raspberry, Loganberry and Black- 
berry. It’s of a sensational, satisfying taste 
with unmatched qualifications, something 
you will long remember in pies, jams, 
jellies, cordials, canned or fresh. 
VINES are smooth, resembling a 
grape vine with shoots from 6 to 10 
feet long. Easy to pick and handle— 
means a labor saving not only to the 
commercial grower, but also to the 
home gardener. 


HOW TO GROW BOYSENBERRIES 
Set the plants 8 by 8 feet, tie the young vines in the 
spring on wire stretched on posts 214 feet above the 
ground or tie on trellis. Let the young canes or vines 
Jay on the ground through the winter. Cut out the old 
canes as soon as they are done fruiting and burn. In 
the extreme North it is advisable to cover the plants 
lightly with straw, leaves or earth before hard freezing 
begins. A precaution to be on the safe side. Continue 
the practice each year.
