GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
Copyright 1913 by R. M. Kellogg Co.. Three Rivers. Mich. 
LONGFELLOW, BISEXUAL OR MALE - EXTRA EARLY 
'T'HIS 13 the sixth year we have offered this great variety to 
*■ our customers. Its high qualities were first discovered 
on our farm in 1906, but before offering: it we te&ted it out for 
three seasons. Each succeeding season, however, confirmed 
our first impressions of its value, and since then It has become 
an almost universal favorite. In many portions of the At- 
lantic seaboard it is rapidly dispiacinj? some of the older 
standard varieties because of its many excellencies. The 
prairie states of the West have given it a most cordial wel- 
come, and from many of the Southern states reports have 
come to U3 of a most gratifying nature. It is among the later 
of the extra-early varieties. In size the Longfellow is large; 
in form it is long and of a perfect strawberry type, having 
the small neck, which is the unfailing sign of sweetness in 
the strawberry. It is one of the deepest of the dark-red 
berries and its flavor is delicious, and so mild and sweet as to 
win instant popularity. It is now used extensively by large 
commercial growers and is grown to a greater or less extent 
in every state in the Union and throughout Canada, Grown 
at Three Rivers and Twin Falls. 
rich flavor, for its large, well-sraped berries and rich crim- 
son color of its fruit, it isn't strange that this variety becomes 
immediately popular once it becomes known in a given locality. 
The foliage is quite as beautiful as the fruit. This is the six- 
teenth year we have bred this great bisexual. Grown at 
Three Rivers and Canby. 
Molena, B. (Male) 
EARLY TO LATE. Bisexual. Some years ago one of the ex- 
tensive commercial strawberry growers of Calilornia called 
our attention to the Molena as a berry particularly adapted to 
that state, and very kindly sent us a number of plants for 
testing out. We have found this variety all our friend claimed 
for it and it is now winning notable success all along the Pa- 
cific coast. In fact, in the strawberry region lying srtuth of 
the city of San Francisco it is a universal favorite, and we are 
confident that its popularity is to ext«md from the extreme 
south of California to northern British Columbia. Molena 
grows a berry rich crimson in color, the form varying, but the 
size of the fruit being uniformly large. In flavor it is rich 
and satisfying, and its yield of crops is excelled by few va- 
rieties. It is a prolific maker of long runners and is a strong 
poilenizer. Molena is grown only at Canby. 
Klondike.'B. (Male) 
MEDIUM. Bisexual. The popularity of this variety steadily 
increases. Originating in the South it was for a long time 
considered as a strictly Southern variety, but steadily it has 
advanced in popularity until today it is grown with large suc- 
cess as far north as the Straits of Mackinac and is becoming 
an almost universal favorite on the Pacific Coast and through- 
out the Inter-Mountain states. This variety is noted for its 
large yields of beautiful berries uniform in shape, rich blood- 
red in color and having a flavor that is neither sweet nor sour, 
but mildly delicious; the berry is full of juice. This is the 
twelfth year we have offered this variety to customers, and 
we note a steady increase in its popularity. Grown at Three 
Rivers and Canby 
LATE VARIETIES. 
Doman, B. (Male) 
LATE. Bisexual. For fifteen years we have bred this great 
variety, which is especially appreciated for its sub-acid qual- 
ity that renders it possible for the confirmed dyspeptic to 
freely partake of its fruit with impunity. In color the ber- 
ries are dark-red on the upper side, shading to bright-red on 
the under side. The meat is for the most part deep pink, be- 
coming almost white at the center. It grows generous crops, 
and never have we known anyone who did not enjoy its rich 
and delicious flavor. The berries are very large and belong 
distinctly in the fancy class. Grown only at Three Rivers. 
Stevens' Late Champion, B. (Male) 
LATE. Bisexual. During the seven years we have been 
growing this variety our confidence in its unusual value has 
steadily increased. One of its fine qualities is the universality 
of its habitat, as it is successfully grown in every state of the 
Union. Another quality of large interest is the fact that 
it is one of the latest varieties ; and a third is the fact that it 
grows immense quantities of the finest market berries. Its 
late bloom renders it immune to late spring frosts, and it is in 
full fruit when many others of the later varieties have fin- 
ished their fruiting season. Grown only at Three Rivers. 
Fendall. P. (Female) 
EARLY TO LATE. Pistillate. Fendall came to us in 1910 
highly recommended as a tremendous yielder of line fruit. 
The recognition given it has been fully justified by our own 
experience and by reports received from customers covering 
nearly every state in the Union. This variety yields from 
early to late, berries having been gathered from the same plot 
of Fendall on the 25th day of May and on tho 4th day of July. 
Fendall is a seedling of the Wm. Belt, and those who havo 
grown the latter variety will readily understand that there is 
some value in parentage. The plant is noted for its great
