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-
