(The following description of this unusual plant 
has been furnished us by the originator. ) 
This new berry came into our possession as a seed- 
ling some seven years ago. After years of painstaking 
efforts, the undesirable plants have*been taken out, now 
having a variety that comes true and exactly alike. 
Due to the nature of their growth and over the 
long period of ripening, we have named it TREE 
EVERBEARING BLACKBERRY. It grows in any 
soil or climate, has stood twenty below zero without 
any injury. 
Berries are round, very large, extra sweet, yet 
enough acid for jams and jellies. An excellent keeper, 
has to be picked only once a week. Plants are very 
thorny, but berries grow on a long fruit stem in clus- 
ters of seven to thirty berries. Ninety per cent of the 
fruit extending above the thorns. There being no ber- 
ries on the market when they ripen, therefore its pos- 
sibilities are unlimited as a commercial berry. 
Another feature why people prefer it: they grow 
up off the ground, ninety-five per cent are free from 
dirt regardless of the weather. 
Rain must be in abundance or it must be planted 
where it can be watered. The undreamed of feature 
of this berry is that people in our towns and cities who 
have been deprived of fresh fruits may now grow all the 
berries they can use for pies, jams and jellies from six 
plants in their yard or small garden, taking no more 
care of them than a common shrub. From a two-year- 
old plant we have gathered three gallons or 24 pounds. 
Three-year-old plants have broken all records with a 
yield of 6 gallons of fruit from one plant. 
Waller Brothers do not hesitate to recommend 
these plants as an excellent berry, as we fruited some 
of them the past five seasons with very satisfactory 
results. 
Twentieth Century Everbearing 
(Description by the Originator) 
1. QUALITY: One of the highest quality berries 
grown today. Very low acid content. Classed with 
Rockhill for flavor and mildness. 
2. SIZE: In size of fruit it ranks at the top. Re- 
markably large on the average considering its continu- 
ous production for a period of six months the same 
season the plants are set out. : 
3. FIRMNESS: Firmness and ability to stand com- 
mercial handling, makes it the first choice of the retail 
merchants. 
4. HIGH PRODUCTION: 20th Century Ever- 
bearer is a vigorous disease resistant plant. No other 
kind can produce continuously the whole summer. 
5. GOOD REPRODUCTION: A good plant mak- 
er. No longer is it necessary to buy plants every year 
to maintain your plot of everbearers.

Thornless Boysenberry 
Vines are free of thorns which means much in 
handling. Ripens several days ahead of the thorny 
variety, which alone is a material advantage, as it gets 
your berries on the market while the prices are higher, 
and that often means a big difference in your profit. 
Canes are smooth as velvet. You can handle these 
canes with your bare hands and enjoy picking the large 
attractive fruit. 
Dewberry - Blackberry 
We are offering a new Dewberry - Blackberry cross 
this is most outstanding in its earliness, size and vigor. 
There are two strains of the cross. One which ripéns 
right in behind the strawberry season, another which 
comes about 7 to 10 days later. The first of the berries 
is calledyEarli-Ness and has a value largely for the fresh 
market. The next one, known as¥Big-Ness, is extremely 
large and attractive in appearance and is the best berry 
that we have found for quick freezing. The multiplica- 
tion is similar to that of the Young and Boysenberry. 
In addition to the commercial angle of this berry, it 
has great possibilities for special home gardea sales at a 
fancy price. We have only a very limited amount of 
these plants for sale. 
The Streamliner 
Everbearing originated in Northeastern Oregon. 
Berries are extremely large and hold their size well 
through the season. They are almost round in shape, 
attractive, smooth, deep gloss red in color, very sweet, 
requiring little sugar, delicious in flavor and highly 
aromatic. They are very firm and stand up _ better 
than GEM. 
Superfection 
Superfection was originated by the plant breeder 
who discovered Gem. The berries of Superfection rip- 
en from July until frost. The fruit is firm, good for 
shipping and the berries, continue of good size as the 
season progresses. You will not be disappointed in this 
everbearing variety. Waller Brothers say that this is 
the best everbearing on our list. 
PLANTING AND CULTURE OF VINE BERRIES 
The best time to set our plants is as early in the 
spring as the ground is workable. Plants should be set 
in rows 8 or 9 feet each way. 
Planting Promptly: Plants should be set as soon as 
received. If they appear dry when received, place in 
water to soak for a few minutes. If ground is not 
ready, hill them in furrow; shelter from sun _ until 
ground is ready for plants. 
Fertilizing: If the soil is deficient in humus and 
plant food, barnyard manure can advantageously be ap- 
plied before the initial plowing and then thoroughly 
worked into the soil before the plants are set out. Do 
not put any fertilizer under the hill when planting, as 
that will burn them up. However, owing to the heavy 
cane growth and abundant fruiting of these berries, they 
should be fertilized to provide the plant food necessary, 
Over 100 Acres Strawberry Plants Under Irrigation 
preferably in late fall or early spring. 
Trellising: The canes should be put on wires just 
before the buds begin opening in the spring. First wire 
should be 30 inches off ground and the second year you 
should add another wire some 15 inches above the first. 
You should do this for the reason of a much heavier 
growth of vines for the second year. 
Pruning: Each spring new canes will start growing 
for the bearing of the following year’s crop. We ad- 
vise the removing of these canes when they are 12 
inches to two feet in height. In other words, raising 
one crop at a time, first the berry crop, and then the 
cane crop for the next year’s bearing. Then, when the 
berry crop is finished and the canes that have been 
bearing are cut off, the new canes are allowed to grow 
on the ground as the first summer.
