\ KAYBERRY 
“THE CULTIVATED BERRY WITH THE 
WILD BLACKBERRY FLAVOR" 
The Kayberry is said to have Originated in Washington, a cross 
of the wild blackberry X Loganberry. The berries look very much 
like the wild blackberry in shape and color, but are HUGE, often 
growing 2% inches long. Kayberries retain the small seedd and soft 
Juicy core of the wild blackberry, and like it they freeze well, 
holding both the chape and flavor. 
Kayberries produce abundantly and for a long season, making them 
highly desirable either for commercial growing cr for the home gar- 
den. At times a 10-pound flat of berries has been picked at a 
single picking from one vine. Berries ripen in early summer and 
continue for three months or until cold weather prevents their 
ripening. The berries are firm and stand up well in shipping and in 
the fresh fruit market. Unlike the large hard thorns of the Tree 
Blackberry, Kayberry thorns are small, much like those of the 
Boy senberry. 
Kayberries are ideal for pies since they hold the juice in the 
berry and do not become too tart in cooking. They make delicious 
jam and jelly, and “set’’ without any added pectin. 
Plants are set out 8 to 10 feet apart in rows 6 to 8 feet apart, 
depending on type of cultivator. Because plants spread out and re- 
quire considerable moisture, crowding is to be avoided; unless, as 
in a small garden, plants can be assured of ample moisture and 
fertility. 
WHAT USERS SAY OF THE KAYBERRY: 
Mrs. Wickman’s Home-Made Pies, Seattle: “Kayberries are delicious, 
different, delightful. Our customers are pleased with their wild 
blackberry flavor and are demanding more and more....Kayberries 
are unique in the berry field and their future is assured.” 
Frederick & Nelson, Seattle: “...regarding the result of our exper- 
iments with this berry...the Kayberry was a very outstanding and 
delicious berry. The flavor, we thought, was superior to any of 
the common berries such as loganberries, raspberries, etc. We 
tried the berry in pies, cobbler and sherbet and each of these 
items was very delicious.” 
Earl Brines & Sons, Wholesale Fruit & Produce: “Kayberries have 
the best keeping qualities of any commercial berry plus re- 
markable flavor, as good or better than the wild blackberry. 
Consumer demand is increasing all the time. 
A Baldwin Park grower who has Kayberries and Olallies growing 
side by side says the Kayberry has a richer flavor than Olallie.
