 railroads, with 12 stations, including five towns and one 

 city; they are high, rolling, well drained, with beautiful

GREAT CROPS OF 



STRAWBERRIES 



AND HOW TO GROW THEM 



IS the title of a beautifully illustrated book of expert 

 information written in everyday language by America's 

 most successful strawberry grower. It explains how 

 the Kellogg Pedigree plants are grown on the great Kel- 

 logg plant farms in Oregon, Idaho and Michigan. It con- 

 tains pictures of the best varieties of strawberries, including 

 fall bearing kinds, and gives full descriptions. It tells how 

 to grow big crops of fancy berries, and how to market 

 them at big prices. Explains in detail The Kellogg Way. 



OUR FAMILY STRAWBERRY GARDEN 



Whether you have a small garden only or abig farm, you should 

 grow your own strawberries. Kellogg's Big Red Strawberry Gar- 

 den will produce all the delicious strawberries your entire family can

SHRUBS give the quickest effects with least expendi- 

 ture, but when their leaves are off, the foundation is 

 exposed and the very purpose of your planting is 

 defeated for all but a few months. 



Dwarf evergreens by themselves or combined with low 

 growing rhododendrons, make what we feel to be an ideal 

 planting, because they attractively and effectually accom- 

 plish their purpose every month in the year. 



In Winter their cheering effect will be a continual source 

 of pleasure to you. Such plantings, of course, cost 

 more than shrubs, just as anything must that's worth more. 



When it comes to Evergreens, we have a truly unusual 

 assortment — unusual in its wide range of sizes, extending 

 from 6 inches up to 25 feet. Fine, strongly developed 

 stock. The kind you can depend on. 



Some of our particularly choice white pines you ought 

 to consider seriously. Hundreds, we have, that are from 

 8 to 16 feet tall. Beautiful specimens. Better put them 

 down on your list, as among the first of your pur- 

 chases. 



As for shade trees, such as Maples, Lindens, and Pin 

 Oaks, we have a goodly lot, in varying sizes. Our ad- 

 vice is, buy the larger trees that give you instant results, 

 even if they do cost more. Why wait years and years for 

 small trees to grow up, when for a little more you can buy 

 Hicks' all ready grown up, 10 to 20 feet high. They save 

 fifteen years. 



Come and see our stock and pick out just the identical 

 trees you want. If you can't come, our catalog is the next 

 best. Send for it.
