Thornless Boysenberries 
—, Highest Quality of All Bramble Fruits — 




We consider Boysenberries, Nec- 
tarberries and Youngberries the fin- 
est vine berries yet developed. They 
have a, delectable flavor and a rich 
deep red juice surpassed by no other fruit, in our estimation. 
THORNLESS BOYSENBERRY 
E! Monte Early Ripening Strain. Canes smooth as velvet. Ripens 
ten days to two weeks earlier than the common Boysenberry. The 
Boysenberry is truly a glorified Youngberry. We offer it because 
of the tremendous large size of the berries, because of its very 
prolific fruiting and lastly because we think that both the Boysen- 
berries and Youngberries (both very similar in flavor) are the 
highest quality of all bramble fruits.

larger than  Boysenberries. Originated 
from the seed of a large Youngberry. 
Attention was attracted by its particularly large juice cells 
and the berries themselves, also, were the largest berries in 
the patch. When sampled, however, the next surprise came, 
for there was so much more “body” to the flavor, and more 
flavor, as it seemed, and although sweeter, appeared to car- 
ry with it so much of the tang of the raspberry that it was 
wondered if the bees had crossed the Youngberry from which 
it came, with the raspberries or blackberries in nearby rows. 
Genuine Nectarberry plants are not plentiful—yet our 
prices are very reasonable for a new variety with so many 
good qualities. 

Success with Boysenberries and Nectarberries 
1. Very early spring planting is essential. 
2. Use only heavy well-grown plants and they prefer 
a rich, moist, well-drained loam soil. 
3. Set plants 4 to 6 ft. apart in 6 ft. rows. 
4. Trellis after the first year or apply straw muleh 
under the trailing canes. 
5. Clean cultivation until August. 
6. Liberal spring applications of well-rotted manure 
or Nitrogen fertilizer. 
7. In states north of the Ohio River the canes will 
need to be placed on the ground and covered with 
straw or earth as protection during the cold weather. 
You will be well repaid for this extra protection. 
8. Allow the fruits to fully ripen before picking to 
insure the highest quality.

So pleased with the Lodi apple planted in the Fall of 
1944. Everyone stops to comment on the size of the fruit. 
One apple measured 12% inches in circumference. We 
have it in the refrigerator so we can brag about it to all 
visitors. Boysenberries—Note the size—2 inches in length
