when fully ripe. At present it is the

enough to stir the manure into the 
soil. This will maintain a_ strong

In the spring. 
Thornless Boysenberry {i2ves" 
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 Thorniess Boy- 
senberries, nice well rooted plants, 3 for 
70c; 10 for $2.00; 25 for $4.25; prepaid to
