THE BERRY WITH A 
JOYOUS “NEW” FLAVOR 


From time to time new things appear among the plant family; 
many to enjoy short-lived popularity while occasionally a new 
variety is brought into being which, by its true quality and 
merit continues to grow in favor. Nectarberry, introduced for 
the first time in 1937, has proved one of the sensationally new 
berry varieties and is steadily gaining in popularity by reason of 
its prolific production of large fruit, and a distinctly and pleas- 
ingly new berry flavor. 
Nectarberries are of mammoth size (larger than Boysen- 
berry) with particularly large juice cells or druplets. The flavor 
is pleasing, carrying the tang of Youngberry and the pleasing 
taste of Raspberry. Nectarberries begin to ripen about two 
weeks after the first Youngberries and vines will be completely 
loaded with ripe and partially ripe berries and bloom. Nectar- 
berry produces about ten days to two weeks longer than Boysen- 
berry. They have less acid and can be enjoyed by diabetics. Ber- 
ries are very dark wine color, almost black when ripe. Almost 
seedless. 
Nectarberry is somewhat sweeter than Boysenberry and is 
preferred by those who do not like the sour flavor of many 
berries. As to size, many berries run 1 Y2 and 134 inches long 
and an inch through; many larger. To those who have enjoyed 
the Nectarberry and have compared the flavor with Young- 
berry and Boysenberry, opinion is unanimous as to the supe- 
riority of Nectarberry. i 
Nectarberry has proved hardy under both drought and cold. 
Vines that were forced to go without water for long periods 
continued to bear nearly as well as those that were frequently 
irrigated. Wintered successfully in Michigan, Montana, Ohio, 
Washington and New York without injury though not mulched. 
Fine for jam or jellies and without peer as fresh fruit with cream. 
Very few and small seeds to annoy and no noticeable core. The 
thorns of Nectarberry are small and not objectionable, certainly 
not as ‘‘mean’’ as most berries of the thorny variety.

ern Oregon who has made the growing of berries his main
