BOYSENBERRY 
With us the most outstanding 
- berry that has been introduced 
for many years. It is a cross 
of the Youngberry and Black- 
berry, giving a much larger 
berry, with more Blackberry 
than Youngberry flavor. Its 
strong vine is similar to the 
Youngberry but the growth is 
more vigorous and the leaves a 
darker green, a great improve- 
ment being that it will stand 
the winter freezing of the 
Northwest. Fruit spurs are longer and it will out-yield the Dewberry, Young- 
berry and nearly all the Blackberries. 
A berry that is here to stay but which in time may be replaced by the thorn- 
less type. Home gardeners have already shown a preference for the thorn- 
less variety. 
GOOSEBERRIES 
OREGON CHAMPION 
The outstanding gooseberry grown in the Northwest. Berries are of medium 
size, round, smooth, pale green, thin skinned, being almost transparent when 
developed. More resistant to mildew than other varieties. A vigorous grower 
with upright bushes.
