2 Zilke’s Boysenberries Are the Genuine True Stock 
THORNLESS BOYSENBERRIES 
We are happy to offer you this great berry 
which is without a thorn and this means much in 
the handling. The Thornless Boysenberry yields 
heavier and starts ripening about one week sooner 
than the thorny variety. The berries themselves, 
are identical, both in size and flavor, but the 
canes are perfectly smooth, which means greater 
economy and comfort in handling the vines and 
picking the berries. The thornless variety has all 
the characteristics of the ordinary variety except 
the thorns, and is a very vigorous grower. Be 
the first in your neighborhood to have this new 
variety. Heavy 1 yr. plants, 6 for $1.25. For 
larger amounts see page 7. 
BOYSENBERRY 
The new Boysenberry is of the Dewberry family, but 
much larger than Dewberries or Blackberries. These new 
berries often grow to a length of 2% inches by 1 inch. It 
takes only from 60 to 80 Boysenberries to fill a pint box 
and with common blackberries it requires 150 to 200 
berries. Fruit is a purplish maroon color. Plants can be 
trellised like grape vines. Boysenberries have been exposed 
to 15 degrees below zero during the past winter and were 
not killed, while other brambles around them were complete- 
ly frozen, one grower stated. The seeds are very small and Thornless Boysenberry 
very few in comparison to other berries. If the Boysen- ? 
berry is permitted to remain on the vine until it is fully ripe it is much sweeter than any other vine 
berry. When eating fresh, no sugar is necessary because it has a very high sugar content. 
GIANT BLUEBERRIES 
Not only does the blueberry produce big juicy berries 2 to 3 times as large as 
common blueberries, but it is ornamental on the lawn or in the shrubbery border and 
very easy to grow. The foliage is dark green, long and narrow, blossoms bell-shaped 
and pinkish white. During the autumn the leaves turn bronze, and during the winter 
months the twigs are red. The bushes will grow to the height of 8 feet. 
For best results plant on acid soil. Low muck or sand soils are usually very acid. Plant two or 
more plants to insure proper pollinization, about 5 feet apart. If your soil is not acidy, mix the soil 
with old sawdust or soil from the bottom of an old wood pile. When using sawdust dig the hole 
about 12 inches deeper than is required and fill the bottom with this sawdust mixed with regular soil. 
Set the plant and fill the hole with the same mixture and keep the soil moist. Write the U. S, 
Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., for Bulletin on Cultivated Blueberries. It’s FREE.

orous, hardy and productive. Large berries. Good shipper.
