Vegetalle PLANTS 
GLOBE ARTICHOKE. This is the artichoke of commerce. We supply 
strong, young suckers capable of producing a good crop of buds the 
summer following planting. The young plants should be set out about 
three feet apart each way in loose, fertile soil. Provide regular irriga- 
tion and clean cultivation. Care should be taken in cultivating and 
that none of the soil lodges in the crown of the growing plants, as 
this will lead to suffocation of those parts of the plant from which the 
young stems arise. The artichoke is a perennial enjoying the mild 
winters in most sections of California and is capable of producing 
three or four seasons. 35c each, 3 for $1.00. 
STRAWBERRY RHUBARB. This is a vigorous growing variety pro- 
ducing large, succulent stalks throughout the winter. As the produc- 
tion of the large, fleshy leaf stems depends upon the plant-food stored 
in the roots, careful attention to its culture will reward the home 
gardener with an abundance of stalks. Cultivate and irrigate regu- 
larly and provide an application of fertilizer at least once each season. 
35c each, 3 for $1.00. 
MARY WASHINGTON ASPARAGUS. White asparagus is produced 
by ridging the soil above the plants so that the shoots will be kept 
below ground. Plant the crowns in rows about six feet apart with 
the plants 24 inches apart in the row. They should be set from eight 
to ten inches deep. They are first covered with only two or three 
inches of soil and more soil is gradually added as the shoots begin 
to grow. Do not cut the shoots the first year. 12 for 60c, 100 for $3.50.

THORNLESS BOYSENBERRY. A brand new variety 
with the fruitfulnmess of the Boysenberry plus the 
advantages of smoother thornless canes..

canes produce an abundance of fine berries; bet- 
ter than parent. 
THORNLESS YOUNGBERRY. Not only produces 
sturdy, thornless, productive canes, but has qual- 
ity ot berries similar to parent. 
CORY THORNLESS BLACKBERRY. A nice berry 
for the home garden, as the smooth canes make 
it easy to handle and harvest. The fruit is very 
large, with small seeds and handsome jet black 
in color. Sweet and pleasant in flavor. 
BOYSEN, YOUNG, LOGAN AND BLACKBERRIES 
35c each, 12 for $3.50 
BOYSENBERRY. The Boysenberry is nothing less 
than marvelous. The great size of the berries, to- 
gether with the abundance of the crop would 
prove an attraction to any planter. Combine with 
these features the flavor of the fruit, which adds 
to that of the Youngberry the characteristic rasp- 
berry flavor, and you have a berry whivh needs 
neither cream nor sugar for garnishment, but gar- 
nish with cream and sugar; and the Boysenberry 
makes a dish fit for a king. 
LOGANBERRY. Thrives in nearly all sections in 
California. The fruit is large, dark red; sub-acid in 
flavor. Ships well. Highly prized for canning, 
jams, and jellies. 
YOUNGBERRY. Of comparative recent introduc- 
tion but has been gaining in popularity so fast it 
is now one of our most important berries, both 
in the home garden and commercially. The fruit 
is large, reddish black, with rich pleasing flavor. 
The seeds are few in number and soft. The vines 
are vigorous, prolific, with few thorns which 
makes picking very easy; trailing in habit. It is 
easy to grow, thrives almost everywhere and we 
highly recommend it. 
MAMMOTH BLACKBERRY. Plants are vigorous, 
bushy, and seldom fail to produce a bumper crop. 
The berries are sweet and delicious, jet black 
color, good shippers, ripen in July.

cial planting and the home garden in territories 
near San Francisco Bay. The berry is a beautiful 
deep red; large, sweet and with fine flavor. The 
fruit is firm and ships well. It bears heavily over 
a long period and the plants are long lived. 
DORSETT. Produces heavier crops than any other 
commercial variety tested by the U. S. D. A., and 
has a long producing season. On heavy soils, 
plants must be allowed to run, as matting will 
curtail production. The berry is very large, firm, 
beautiful, and most important is superior in qual- 
ity to most other berries. The color is light red 
and they make attractive display when in the 
basket. 
GEM EVERBEARING. The best so-called everbear- 
ing strawberry. Bears heavily for many months

ing season and ships remarkably well.

raspberry. The fruit is of fine appearance, tastes 
good, keeps well, and sells well. Every berry 
grower should have a few Black Caps. (Priced the 
same as Boysenberries.)

Here is something new for your garden. Blue- 
berries require the same culture as Azaleas, Ca- 
mellias, and Rhododendrons. The foliage resem- 
bles that of Azaleas and the flowers in clusters 
are dainty, bell-shaped, tinged pink. A useful 
ornamental as well as a valuable fruit-bearing 
shrub. Plants sold only in groups of three, one of 
each of a variety required for cross-pollination.

BOYSENBERRIES, YOUNGBERRIES and LOGANBERRIES. Set the plants 6 to 8 feet apart against 
fence, wall or arbor. Cover roots well with loose soil and keep moist. Canes grown the first year

cut old canes to ground and train new growth. Apply well-rotted manure mulch in fall and well- 
balanced commercial fertilizer in spring. Average family requires at least six plants, assorted 
varieties.

the ground. The crown must be exactly level with the soil surface. Plant one foot apart on 
ridges 18" wide, two rows to the ridge. Use plenty of water when planting and during production. 
Use no fertilizer of any kind when planting. Two months after planting use a balanced fertilizer 
in the irrigation trench between ridges and soak well. More fruit is obtained when runners are 


kept trimmed off. Plant 50 plants for each person.

roots deeply in loose soil. Keep moist. First season’s growth produces crop following year. After

mulch in fall, commercial fertilizer in spring). Average family requires at least 2 dozen plants.
