BOYSENBERRY 
_ This popular berry is very large and has a sprightly and deli- 
clous flavor. In color it is very dark red, almost black when 
fully ripe, being identical with the Youngberry in color, but 
larger in size. It yields over a period of six to eight weeks. 
It is highly prized for juice, jam, jelly, canning and quick 
freezing. It is a week or two later than the Youngberry in Fipen- 
ing. A Watsonville grower who got 360 Boysen plants from us last 
spring, liked them so well that he ordered 260 morse. 
YOUNGBERRY 
The Youngberry was the result of a cross of the Austin Mayes 
dewberry X Phenomenal berry which is a Luther Burbank creation 
similar to the Loganberry. Youngberry is identical in color with 
the Boysenberry but is not so large, is a little firmer and a 
week or two earlier. It will make a little more juice than the 
Boysen and it has a delightful flavor all its own. 
THORNLESS BOYSENBERRY 
A large commercial berry grower in Oregon told us that the 
Thornless Boysen outyields the thorny kind, in spite of the ber- 
ries being smaller, as well as being much easier and less expen- 
Sive to pick and to handle the vines. And a Tennessee grower 
wrote us that the Thornless Boysen outyielded the thorny Boysen 
by 20%, and that that was not a guess, and he sent similar re- 
ports from other points in the South. 
This variety is a sport from the regular Boysen. It starts 
ripening a week or two earlier than the regular Boysen, about 
with the Youngberry. It is similar to the Thornless Youngberry 
in size and earliness, but if there is any difference it is in 
favor of the Thornless Boysen, which yields a large crop of 
perfect berries. 
\THORNLESS LOGANBERRY 
The Thornless Logan has practically supplanted the thorny 
Logan. A large commercial grower in Oregon told us that 
the Thornless Logan outyields the thorny Logan, besides its being 
much less ecpensive to pick the berries as well as to train the 
vines. An Oregon nursery wrote us they do not raise thorny Logan 
plants any more as there is no demand for them. 
The Loganberry is a large, long berry of an attractive deep 
red color. It originated in California and has been successfully 
grown on this coast for many years. It is a tart berry which is 
highly prized for pies, juice, jam and jelly. Its flavor is de- 
lightful and different from any other. We have been told there 
are large acreages in the Watsonville district planted to the 
Thornless Logan.
