Jerome Growing rapidly in favor here in the east, also becoming universally 

 popular in the Rocky Mountain regions. The berries of this variety 

 are bright red, rich in flavor, and are splendid shippers. Jerome also is a strong 

 pollenizer of pistillate varieties, and these numerous and important qualities prom- 

 ise to make it quite generally grown in these sections. 



James E ^ good, large-fruiting, medium early variety. Bears an enormous 

 crop of large attractive berries, and of fine quality. 



Kelloes's Prize introduced in 1913 by the R. M. Kellogg Co. and in their 

 ^° 1915 catalog they say, "Reports concerning the perform- 



ance of this variety that season were largely from our own observations, and were 

 in every respect confirmative of our highest expectations. But in 1914 there came 

 to us from all sections of the country such a grand chorus of praise as has never 

 been given to any other variety in history. The reports came direct from the 

 fields of our customers, and the descriptive word most frequently applied is "mag- 

 nificent. ' ' The highest claims we ever have made concerning this variety are more 

 than verified in the experiences of our customers. Kellogg's Prize is a pistillate 

 variety, with a very long fruiting season. It thrives in soils of every class, and 

 yields immense quantities of large, perfectly formed berries, highly colored from 

 center to circumference, its golden seeds lending a gloss to the surface of surpass- 

 ing brilliancy and beauty. There is no other berry having a flavor of greater 

 delicacy. Here we have a combination of excellences not often found. Foliage 

 large and healthy; calyx large and green. We can without hesitation recommend 

 this variety as the principal crop in any field, confident that every reasonable ex- 

 pectation will be more than satisfied." In 1914 I sold all the plants I had of this 

 variety, last year I sold more than twice as many as I did in 1914 but kept a few 

 plants to see some of the berries, I was very much pleased with them and can con- 

 scientiously recommend them to you for trial. 



Kelloss's Premier "^^ early bisexual very rich in fertile pollen. The 

 ®^ fruit begins ripening with the earliest varieties and 



comes into fruit with early varieties and continues until the latest varieties are at 

 their best. The Premier berri^^s are larger than those produced by any other early 

 variety. The fruit is deeply and richly colored and very firm, which makes it a 

 splendid shipper. As to productiveness, no other early variety equals it, and the 

 quality of the fruit is simply superb. The foliage is light green, grows tall and 

 spreads completely over its load of fruit, which protects the berries from the sun. 

 We have never seen a berry affected by sun-scald or rot on this variety. The 

 leaves are smooth, bright and clean. Premier is a good runner maker and easily 

 handled in the fruiting bed. All who have seen this variety in fruit pronounce it 

 the greatest of all early varieties. In a word, it is the Premier of all early straw- 

 berries." The above was taken from the R. M. Kellogg & Go's description of this 

 berry in their 1915 catalog. I am very much pleased with the growth and looks of 

 this plant and do not think you would go wrong in planting a few of them. 



Klondyke "^^^^ berry is a money maker. Berries uniform in shape and size, 

 *^ dark red, mill and delicious, very handsome. Plants make a re- 



markable growth, are tall and compact, stalks strong, leaves light green, makes 

 abundant runners and an unusual number of crowns. One of the very best paying 

 early varieties, and is s'lch a good shipper that its appearance in the market causes 

 it to be eagerly bought by those who are ready to pay good prices for fancy fruit. 

 Plant Klondyke for more trade and more profits. 



Longfellow '^^^ season of this great variety is early folate, and few varieties 

 excel in the amount of fruit produced. The fruit is long and of 

 a perfect strawberry type. In color it is a dark red, and this color extends from 

 circumference to center. In flavor it is rich, mild and sweet. It is a profuse 

 bloomer and every bloom is perfect, making it an ideal pollenizer of pistillates of 

 the earlv and mid-season sorts.
