KELLOG'S PREMIER-The more I see of this berry the better I like it. 



KELLOGG'S PREMIER. I am giving a part of the 

 introducer's description: "Kellogg's Premier is dis- 

 tinctly in a class by itself. In productiveness it is a 

 wonder. The berries are mammoth in size, beauti- 

 fully formed, bright, rich red through and through, 

 delicious in flavor, and a splendid shipper. In one 

 word, every berry is a show-berry and a priz'e-winner. 

 It is the money-making king of all early berries. 

 Last year the Premier began ripening berries fully 

 a week earlier than any other variety, and continued 

 to fruit heavily for more than four weeks. And the 

 last picking was as good as the first. Another quality 

 in which the Premier excels is that of a pollenizer 

 for pistillate varieties, a characteristic of unusual 

 value because of its long blooming season. If you 

 believe you have already seen the greatest early berry, 

 but as yet never seen Kellogg's Premier, you still 

 have something worth while to discover in the straw- 

 berry world. And if you would grow strawberries 

 that will sell at your own price, no matter how many 

 other berries are on the market, the Premier is the 

 variety for you to choose." 



KLONDYKE. Berries uniform in shape and size, 

 dark red, mild and delicious, very handsome. Plants 

 make a remarkable 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 such 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 profit. 



LADY THOMPSON. A great favorite in the :South. 

 It produc ?s large crops of medium large berries. The 

 berries ari handsome and well shaped, firm and good 

 shippers. Medium early. Sells quickly on account ofits 

 handsome appearance. 



MARSHALL. Too well known to need any ex- 

 tended description. This is a berry that has been 

 so popular in the New England market for y^ears, 

 where the grocers are always delighted to get it on 

 account of its i-ich dark red color, that it is bound 

 to attract and please customers. It is one of the 

 richest flavored strawberries grown. It is a strictly 

 fancy berry. Mid-season. 



LATE JERSEY GIANT. Plants are very large and 

 vigorous. Fruit is heart-shaped, uniform in shape 

 and size ; exceedingly productive, firm and of the 

 very best quality. A rather new variety, but is ex- 

 tensively planted by all that have given it a trial. 

 The berries are produced in clusters on large strong 

 fruit stocks. 



LUPTON. The introducer describes it as follows : 

 The plant is healthy and long-lived, foliage heavy, 

 dark green, fruit stalks short, berries set under the 

 leaves and well protected ; flower perfect, berry large, 

 bright red, glossy, and doesn't turn dark after being 

 picked. Its season is about five days ahead of (he 

 Gandy, from which it is a seedling and lasts nearly 

 as long. I have grown all the leading varieties by 

 the Lupton, but have never found one that would 

 produce with it It sells for the highest market 

 prices and is especially recommended by commission 

 merchants for long distance shipment on account of 

 its firmness and good keeping qualities. 



MESSENGER. The fruit begins ripening with the 

 early varieties and continues for a long season. The 

 berry is of extra large size, well colored, and very 

 firm, making it a good shipper, excellent flavor, a • 

 good market or home table berry. The plants are 

 exceedingly vigorous — the strongest of any early 

 berry I ever saw. The foliage is clean and healthy, 

 almost, if not quite as rank as the Chesapeake, which 

 it resembles very much. I believe this berry will prove 

 a money-maker to those who plant it and I advise 

 you to secure enough of the plants to give it a 

 thorough test. 



' MAGIC GEM. A mid-season-to-late variety origi- 

 nated by Edward Vance of Idaho. Because of the un- 

 usually large size and high quality of the berries 

 and its long fruiting season, Mr. Vance has con- 

 trolled the strawberry trade in his local market. 

 The berries are not only large and abundant but 

 they also are beautifully formed and are distinctly 

 cone-shaped. The berries are highly colored, beng 

 dark red with a glossy surface, and bright yellow 

 seeds which are imbedded in the surface just deep 

 enough to produce a beautiful contrast. The flavor 

 of the fruit is mild and delicious. The calyx is a 

 dark, rich green, which adds to the beauty of the 

 berry. The berries are very firm and ship exceed- 

 ingly well.
