The Thornless 
Boysenberry 

On beautiful canes so charmingly green, 
Grows the most wonderful berries ever seen. 
The berries are purple and almost blue, 
They are the juicest berries that ever grew. 
They are the Boysenberry which is a very good name, 
They have no thorns and are very tame. 
They are Giants in size and are very sweet, 
A delicious flavor, a real treat. 
Get a dish of them with sugar and cream, 
You have a berry flavor that is quite supreme. 
Make them into jelly or make them into wine, 
You have the best that ever grew on a vine. 
They are very essential to a well balanced diet, 
Eat them in the morning and eat them at night. 
The minerals and iron that they contain, 
May conquer and prevent many a pain. 
They are the easiest of all vine berries to grow, 
Just use your plow and use your hoe. 
The vines will grow on any well drained ground, 
Why look for a better berry, it may never be found.
