BOYSENBERRY. 
Absolutely No Stickers—Canes Smooth as Grape Vines

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 absolutely thornless—as smooth as 
grape vines.

wide—often larger. Large as Plums, plump, long, thick,

berry and Blackberry. They are a rare berry. And they 
are as easily grown as Raspberries or Blackberries. 
Berries Liked by Everybody

berries, up to 2 inches long. Ideal for home uses,
