This photo of Boysen-, 
berries shows the ber- 
ries only one-fifth of 
their natural size. 
: Berries 1% to 2 inches 
Boysenberry long, about three times 
the size of regular Blackberries, black, 
juicy, and of a flavor unexcelled by any 
other berry. This is a cross between Black- 
berry, Raspberry and Loganberry, rapidly 
becoming the best paid berry on the mar- 
ket. Hardy and drought resistant. Pro- 
duces a vigorous growth, and fruit of finest 
quality in most any good garden soil. Per- 
mit the young growth to lay on the ground 
where it can be covered in early winter 
with tomato tops, leaves or straw. In the 
spring tie the vines up to stakes or a 3- 
wire fence, for bearing. After picking the 
berries cut aqut the vines that have pro- 
duced the crop. Repeat the same method 
every year, always leaving the new vines 
iomemestevears crop on. the ground. ‘The 
plant is free from_insects or disease, and 
with the culture described above, anyone 
can have lasting success with Boysenber- 
ries. Nice. well rooted plants, 3 for 55c; 10 
for $1.50; 25 for $3.20; prepaid to you. 
Dewberry The improved Lucretia 
Dewherry is an extra good 
producer, and has a nice large berry. Grows 
on the ground, where the vines can be cov- 
ered over winter, in northern localities. 
The oldest vines are usually removed when 
the herries are harvested. The remaining 
young vines keep up nice production the 
following vear. 3 plants for 45c; 10 for 
$1.20; prepaid. 
BEATRICE, NEBRASKA 

Same as 
the reg- 
ular Boysenberries in size, quality of the 
fruit, growing habits, and is easier to work 
with, because the plant does not make 
thorns. Wherever the winter is expected to 
bring below zero temperatures, the young 
vines on the ground should have a good 
mulch, about 6 inches deep, of leaves or 
straw. This mulch must not be applied too 
early in the fall. Wait until heavy freez- 
ing weather sets in, because Boysenberries 
are in the habit of becoming dormant very 
late in the season. Every few years Boy- 
senberries should have some fertilizing. 
Applying well rotted barn manure around 
the plants in early spring, and work- 
ing it in the ground, will bring splendid 
results. Plant all Boysenberries about 
5 ft. apart in the row. Our Thornless Boy- 
senberries, nice well rooted plants, 3 for 
Thornless Boysenberry 
78c; 10 for $2.25; 25 for $4.75; prepaid to 
you. 
This new  herry has 
Youngberry been introduced in re- 
cent years. The plant is a vigorous grow- 
er, and a heavy bearer: it is hardy in the 
Middle West; however, I recommend a light 
cover of straw over winter for best results 
and extra good hearing. The berries are 
as large as Loganberries, purplish-black; 
in quality they resemble Raspberries. Nice 
plants, 3 for 50c; 10 for $1.35; 25 for $2.95; 
postpaid.
