HISTORY OF THE 
TREE EVERBEARING 
BLACKBERRY 
(The following description of this unus- 
ual plant has been furnished us by the 
originator.) 
This new berry came into our possession 
as a seedling some seven years ago. After 
years of painstaking efforts, the undesirable 
plants have been taken out, now having a 
variety that comes true and exactly alike. 
Due to the nature of their growth and 
over the long period of ripening, we have 
named it TREE EVERBEARING BLACK- 
BERRY. It grows in any soil or climate, 
has stood twenty below zero without any 
injury. 
Berries are round, very large, extra 
sweet, yet enough acid for jams and jellies. 
An excellent keeper, has to be picked only 
once a week. Plants are very thorny, but 
berries grow on a long fruit stem in clusters 
of seven to thirty berries. Ninety per cent 
of the fruit extending above the _ thorns. 
There being no berries on the market when 
they ripen, therefore its possibilities are un- 
limited as a commercial berry. 
Another feature why people prefer it: 
they grow up off the ground, ninety-five per 
cent are free from dirt regardless of the 
weather. 
Rain must be in abundance or it must be 
planted where it can be watered. The undreamed of 
feature of this berry is that people in our towns and 
cities who have been deprived of fresh fruits may 
now grow all the berries they can use for pies, jams 
and jellies from six plants in their yard or small gar- 
den, taking no more care of them than a common 
shrub. From a two-year-old plant we have gathered 

SIX GALLONS OF BERRIES FROM ONE PLANT! 
three gallons or 24 pounds. Three-year-old plants 
have broken all records with a yield of 6 gallons of 
fruit from one plant. 
Waller Brothers do not hesitate to recommend 
these plants as an excellent berry, as we fruited 
some of them the past season with very satisfactory 
results. 
IMMENSE BOYSENBERRY 
The greatest vine berry ever introduced for 
nearby markets and it is gaining in popularity each 
succeeding year. The berries are extremely large, 
many of which are more than two inches long and 
over one inch in diameter. It comes into good bear- 
ing the next year after planting and one planting 
lasts for many years. The fruiting season is longer 
than any other vine berry and it is not unusual to 
pick 15 to 20 pint boxes per plant the second year. 
Grow this wonderful berry for a real treat. 
THORNLESS BOYSENBERRY 
Vines are free of thorns which means much in 
handling. Ripens several days ahead of the thorny 
variety, which alone is a material advantage, as it 
gets your berries on the market while the prices are 
higher, and that often means a big difference in 
your profit. 
PLANTING AND CULTURE OF VINE BERRIES 
The best time to set out plants is as early in 
spring as the ground is workable. Plants should be 
set in rows 8 or 9 feet each way. 
Planting Promptly: Plants should be set as soon 
as received. If they appear dry when received, place 
in water to soak for a few minutes. If ground is not 
ready, hill them in furrow; shelter from sun until 
ground is ready for the plants. 
Fertilizing: If the soil is deficient in humus and 
plant food, barnyard manure can advantageously be 
applied before the initial plowing and then thorough- 
ly worked into the soil before the plants are set out. 
Do not put any fertilizer under the hill when plant- 
ing, as that will burn them up. However, owing to 
the heavy cane growth and abundant fruiting of 
these berries, they should be fertilized to provide the 
plant food necessary, preferably in late fall or early 
spring. 
Trellising: The canes should be put on wires just 
before the buds begin opening in the spring. First 
wire should be 30 inches off ground and the second 
year you should add another wire some 15 inches 
above the first. You should do this for the reason 
of a much heavier growth of vines for the second 
year. 
Pruning: Each spring new canes will start grow- 
ing for the bearing of the following year’s crop. We 
advise the removing of these canes when they are 12 
inches to two feet in height. In other words, raising 
one crop at a time, first the berry crop, and then the 
cane crop for the next year’s bearing. Then, when 
the berry crop is finished and the canes that have 
been bearing are cut off, the new canes are allowed 
to grow on the ground as the first summer.
