From Twin Falls (Idaho) News, Oct. U, 1913. 
THREE crops of delicious strawberries in one season are 
bein? realized from the plants on the R. M. Kellogg's 
land northeast of this city. F. E. Beatty, of Three Riv- 
ers, Mich., president of the company, ts in the city looking 
after its interests, and exhibiting the third crop of berries to 
his friends. 
The berries are of the Superb and Progrressive varieties and 
grow to a large size. The flavor of these berries is exceeding- 
ly sweet, and they command the highest prices on the Eastern 
market for particular trade. The growing of the plants here 
is for nursery purposes. The R. M. Kellogg Co, is the largest 
grower of strawberry plants in America. The company has 
extensive nurseries in Idaho, Michigan, and other states. Mr. 
Beatty is greatly pleased with the results of their nursery 
work here during the past three years and says that conditions 
on the Twin Falls tract for this line of nursery stock cannot 
be excelled. The lack of rain at the time most needed is the 
greatest drawback to nursery work in the Eastern states, al- 
though with a proper season the finest of berries grow in 
those sections of the country. 
Mr. Beatty says that the plants grown here on the Kellogg 
company land begin bearing in June and continue through 
the frosts until November. The berries of the present beai-- 
ing are as delicious as those of the summer yields and are in 
heavy demand by the large produce firms of the country. 
lose some and still have the number I bought, and for all this 
1 wish to thank you. It is a great pleasure, I assure you, to 
do business with a firm like yours. I have always been well 
treated by you. " J. C. McCrum.

Atco, May 13, 1913. "The more I trade with you the strong- 
er I feel that strawberry growers owe you a great debt of 
gratitude that they can buy plants from you that are A No. 1 
at such comparatively low prices. I have immense quantities 
of berries. When people see my Longfellows loaded with 
fruit they say the plants cannot bring such a quantity to 
maturity, and as they look at Chesapeake they exclaim, 
'Those are bushes.' As they look at Ozark they say, "Those 
are all right.' My Kellogg's Prize are 'fine as silk,' making 
great growth. Do not think I will lose a single plant. At 
your prices and quality for the money I want nothing better."
