MICHELL’S SMALL FRUITS 
How to Plant Grapes 
Dig the hole as broad and deep as if 
a 3-year Apple tree were to be planted. 
Fill the hole up to the right depth for 
planting with compost or rich soil. 
A few old bones in the bottom of the 
hole will make rich feeding for the 
vines later on. Trim the roots slightly 
and cut back the top to three or four 
strong buds. Use rich soil around roots. 
Always plant firmly. Leave a mulch of 
strawy manure over plant.

THE NEW BOYSENBERRY 
The Finest Vine Berry Yet Developed 
A new hybrid vine berry developed 
from the Blackberry, Loganberry, and 
Raspberry.

first, becoming black when fully ripe, 
is of blackberry form with berries av- 
eraging 114 inches long, with occasional 
fruit an inch longer. 
The flavor is distinctively its own but 
somewhat resembles the raspberry; the 
sugar content is so high that no sugar 
is needed with ripe berries. 5 for $1.50; 
25 for $5.50.
