A chance seedling that is a cross between the red and black Raspberry—berry, a rich golden color of medium size. Its flavor is entirely different from any berry grown. Grown in preference to the red and black Raspberries, because of its sugar-sweet flavor. Just before the berry fully matures it is a rich yellow color, and when fully ripe a rich golden yellow. Truly a novelty shrub for your garden— most unusual feature is that after first frost, canes will turn a rich yellow color, fruit can be eaten fresh or can be preserved; again they are very outstanding in a glass fruit jar, berries retain rich golden color.

The Boysenberry is a new variety produced by crossing black- berries, raspberries and Loganberries. The flavor is a very pleas- ing blend of these varieties. It has few and soft seeds. The plant is very vigorous and hardy, coming through in good condition without injury, in temperatures as low as 10 below zero. The berries are extremely large, many of the berries gettjng more than two inches long and over one inch in diameter. Sensational ^hornless Boysenberry Each, 21^; Doz., $2.10; 100, $15.75 Probably the biggest berry ever developed. Imagine berries 154 to 2 inches long, so large that 20 make a pint, and are so productive that 100. plants produce 50 gallons of fruit the second summer. That is the record of Boysenberry. The beautiful wine- red fruit combines the delicious flavors of Loganberry, Black- berry and Raspberry, of which it is a cross. No new fruit in many years has caused such a sensation as Boysenberry. In addition to all these remarkable qualities, the plants we offer here have NO THORNS.
