~ BOYSENBERRY 
This popular berry is -very large and very produc- 
tive and has a sprightly and delicious flavor. In color 
it is very dark red, almost black when fully ripe, 
being identical in color- with the Youngberry but 
larger, more highly flavored and a little less seedy. 
It yields over a period of six to eight weeks. Another 
characteristic is that it yields an important second 
crop. 
NECTARBERRY 
This is said to be a chance seedling, possibly of the 
Youngberry, and some say it ripens with the Young- 
berry, which is earlier than the Boysen, although one 
grower says with them it is later than Boysen, but 
in some respects superior to Boysen. He says: ““They 
are as large if not larger than the Boysenberry, will 
stay on the canes longer and become darker, and have 
a very distinctive flavor.” Another grower says they 
like the flavor of the Nectar better than the Boysen, 
that it isn’t as sour. 
~YOUNGBERRY 
Identical in color with the Boysen but not so large, 
a little firmer, the seeds a little larger and is a week 
or two earlier. It will make a little more juice than 
the Boysen. 
THORNLESS YOUNGBERRY 
Similar to the thorny Young, but free from thorns, 
a big help in picking. Not quite as productive as the 
thorny kind. 
CAMERON THORNLESS BLACKBERRY 
(“Victor Berry”) 
This 1s coming to be quite a commercial variety, is 
of good size, good flavor and immensely productive, 
the berries under good culture hanging in great clus- 
ters. It is said to be firm and a good. shipper. While

CHERRY RED RHUBARB 
This is a beautiful, red rhubarb which originated 
in this county. It is of large size and very productive, 
producing a crop a few months after planting and 
yielding several crops in a season. It does not go 
dormant like most sorts but is everbearing, produc- 
ing the year around under favorable weather condi- 
tions. It is so tender that it does not require peeling, 
is less acid than some kinds yet well flavored, and a 
planting will last for years. Available any time.

a year ahead of other sorts, is more productive and 
less astringent than ordinary asparagus.
