HISTORY OF THE 
TREE EVERBEARING BLACKBERRY 
(The following description of this unusual 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 pain- 
staking 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 BLACKBERRY. 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 keep- 
er, 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 unlimited as a com- 
mercial 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 plant- 
ed 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 
garden, taking no more care of them than a com- 
mon shrub. From a two-year-old plant we have 
gathered 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-

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 
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.

higher, and that often means a big difference in 
your profit. Canes are smooth as velvet. You can 
handle these canes with your bare hands and en- 
joy picking the large attractive fruit. 
PLANTING AND CULTURE OF VINE BERRIES 
The best time to set our plants is as early in 
the 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.

Dear Sir: 
I received the 1,000 Champion K strawberry 
plants. I would like to take this opportunity to 
commend you on your plants. I received them in 
excellent condition. ‘They have only been in the 
ground two weeks and already they have begin to 
blossom. I recommend them most highly and if I 
ever need more berries your’ company will head 
my list. 
Sincerely yours, H.B. W.
