FRUIT GIGANTIC IN SIZE. OFTEN MEASURES 272 § 
INCHES IN LENGTH 
THE SENSATIONAL NEW BOYSENBERRY is a cross between 
the Loganberry, red raspberry and blackberry. Think of a berry 
that has a little of each of these fruits all in one gigantic, nearly 
seedless, beautiful wine-colored berry, with a very distinctive 
delicious flavor that you will never forget. They are sugary-sweet 
and juicy, yet firm enough to stand handling. No berry will com- 
pare with it delicious, enticing flavor when made into sparkling 
jelly, jam, marmalade or canned. For pies it cannot be excelled. 
Its beautiful sparkling juice may be made into a most delicious 
drink when mixed with four parts of water. The New Boysen- 
berry is such an improvement over the Youngberry that we no 
longer grow the Youngberry. It is sweeter, has a better flavor, 
and more productive. 
BIG, QUICK profits in Growing Boysenberries. The demand is 
terrific. For frozen fruits, commercial pie baking, canners, pre- 
servers, ice cream manufacturers, high class hotels and restau- 
rants are in the market for more gigantic, luscious Boysenberries 
than can be grown. They sell on any market at extra high prices. 
One grower sells his entire crop of Boysenberries for 50c per 
quart. Whether you are growing berries for the market or just a 
few in your garden, place them on your 1946 MUST LIST. 
How to Grow Boysenberry 
Prepare the soil in the same manner as you would your garden. 
Set plants 7 ft. apart each way, as heavy root system spreads out 
a considerable distance. The Boysenberry makes a very thrifty 
growth the first year, often 10 ft. Let the vine creep on the 
ground the first year. In the extreme North, cover the vines with 
straw or leaves just before hard freezes begin. This is just to 
be on the safe side. In the spring remove the covering, and when 
the vines commence to bud tie the vines to a trellis or wire 
stretched on post about 2% feet from ground. Posts should be 
about 4 feet high, the second wire should be at top of post. Right 
after fruiting cut old vines down to ground. Then burn them, this 
throws all the strength into the new vines, which will produce 
the fruit crop the next year. Repeat this practice year after 
year. Follow these instructions and big crops of fruit are sure

CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 
Plant Asparagus Crowns in a furrow 6 to 10 
inches deep, and space the roots 12 to 18 inches 
apart in the row. Rows should be 38 to 4 feet 
apart. When the plants are set, cover only about 
2 inches deep. As they grow, work more dirt to 
them until the furrow is filled! This gets the crowns 
% down deep, so they will not be injured by cutting. 
J Allow the plants to fern (grow tall tops) each 
Summer and Fall, to permit them to recuper- 
ate and be ready for cutting the following 
Spring. 
They are extremely tender and
