K AY BERRY 
SEE OUR 1949-50 CATALOG pp. 16, 20, 21 
A grower at Ventura picked 128 baskets of Kayberries last summer 
from two 2-year-old and one l-year-old vines. He placed one of the ber- 
ries over one of the berries in the picture on page 21 of our 1949-50 
catalog and it completely hid the berry in the picture. 
Our comparison of the Kayberry and the Olallie blackberry will not 
be complete till next summer, but from our comparisons so far the Kay- 
berry seems a little larger and a better flavor than the Olallie. 
Limited number of plants available. These plants will be much better 
than those we had last spring, and earlier, should be ready by February 
or March.

BOWEN THORNLESS BLACKBERRY 
This berry is a long, large berry, good flavor and productive, the 
canes as smooth as a grape vine. The berries seem to be larger than 
either the Kayberry or the Olallie. It bears over a long period as a 
rule. The Ventura grower mentioned above picked 136 baskets of these 
berries last summer from two vines several years old. Very limited 
number 6f plants available.

OLALLIE BLACKBERRY 
This berry was developed at the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Sta- 
tion at Corvallis by Dr. George F. Waldo, and tested in Oregon, Wash- 
ington and California as Oregon-609. It is the result of a cross made 
in 1935 between the Black Logan and the Young. 
The Station bulletin says of it: “The Olallie is a vigorous growing 
trailing type blackberry whose outstanding characteristic is a bright 
black berry color. The attractive appearance of the fruit is combined 
with firmness of berry to make the variety very desirable for market. 
The berries are somewhat longer than Boysen and nearly as large, while 
the plant characteristics are similar to Boysen. The fruiting habit of 
this new variety is characterized by many fruiting laterals which, com- 
bined with good size of berry, makes it very productive. 
“This variety has been tested in Oregon, Washington and California. 
Its flavor is not so high in Oregon in some seasons as the Boysen, but 
in California its flavor is considerably better. Limited tests in Wash- 
ington indicate that it is not hardy in northern Washington. It is 
suggested for trial in all parts of California and in western Oregon.”
