GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
Copyright 1913 by R, M. KeUogfi Co., Three Rivers, Mich. 
GOODELL, MALE OR BISEXUAL - LATE 
'THEGoodell was originated in the state of Washington and has been thoroughly tested throughout the Pacific-Coast states 
* where it universaliy has griven splendid results. The foliage is a beautiful light green in color. It is very productive; the 
berries are large and glossy and of splendid flavor and good shipping qualities. The calyx remains green throughout the season, 
which adds greatly to the beauty of the berries. In some respects the berry resembles in color and form the Marshall. The 
plants are vigorous growers. Plenty of runners are formed, and it is easily handled in the fruiting field. We are growing this 
variety at our Canby. Oregon fai-m and at Three Rivers, and we have every reason to believe that it is to become a universal 
favorite. We are confident that all growers will find it to their interest to test the Goodell and that it will please them in every 
way. Our plants of this variety are exceptionally fine. They are deep rooters and make strong grrowth under adverse conditions. 
highest quality fruit and adds to these advantages that of be- 
ing an excellent fertilizer for early pistillates. Grown only at 
Three Rivera. 
Lady Thompson, B. (Male) 
EARLY TO LATE. Bisexual. A general favorite every- 
where throughout the Gulf states and making fine success in 
all sections south of the Ohio River. Lady Thompson is 
bright red in color, and is shaped like a top, tapering to an 
obtuse point— a perfect strawberry form. Berries are maJium 
large; the seeds are red and add much to the appearance of 
the fruit when packed neatly for market. The meat is solid 
pink in color and deliciously rich in flavor. This is the thir- 
teenth year we have offered Lady Thompson to our trade. 
Qrown only at Three Rivers. 
Missionary, B, (Male) 
EARLY. Bisexual. For the first time we are offering this 
c< mparatively new but already popular variety to our trade. 
Along the Atlantic seaboard and in ail of the Gulf states it al- 
ready is recognized as a variety of highest value. We expect 
that in the next few seasons it will become as well and as favor- 
ably known throughout the Northern and Central states as it 
is now in the Eastern and Gulf states. The berries of this va- 
riety are very large and beautiful in form; this variety is es- 
pecially noted for its extremely heavy yields of fruit. It is 
one of the hardiest varieties known, and ia also very popu- 
lar with commercial growers because of its splendid ship- 
ping quality. The foliage of this variety is a light green 
and is very fine in every way. We hope that all customers in 
Eastern and Southern states may include an order for the 
Missionary in their 1914 consignments. Grown only at Three 
Rivers. 
MEDIUM VARIETIES 
Splendid. B. (Male) 
EARLY TO LATE. Bisexual. The name of this variety is 
typical of the quality of fruit it produces. Large of size, round 
in shape, bright red in color, it is one of the most attractive 
varieties when placed on the market. Around the edges the 
fruit is bright-red, this color extending about one-third of the 
way to the center, when it changes to creamy white. Splen- 
did is a strong bisexual and its season of bloom is very long. 
Throughout the Inter-Mountain and Southern states Splendid 
is a universal favorite. This is the fifteenth year we have 
bred this variety. Grown only at Three Rivers. 
Parsons' Beauty, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM. Bisexual. A universally popular variety. Par- 
sons' Beauty is especially adapted to the higher altitudes and 
colder sections of the country. It is popular in the Northwest 
Territories of Canada, in all of the Rocky Mountain states 
and throughout the northern states of New England. The 
berries of this variety are bright^red and are of mild and de- 
licious flavor. An extra-strong shipper, it also is a very at- 
tractive variety when placed on sale. This is the twelfth year 
we have had this variety on our lists. Grown at Three Rivers 
and Twin Falls. 
New York. B. (Male) 
MEDIUM TO LATE. Bisexual. This variety produces ex- 
ceptionally fancy fruit and always commands the highest 
prices in the cities. New York is bright blood-red in color 
with a shiny surface, and has seeds of nearly the same color 
eo deeply embedded as to be almost invisible. In flavor the 
fruit is very mild. It is a prolific yielder and has a long ripen- 
ing season. This is the fourteenth year New York has been 
under our methods. Grown only at Three Rivers. 
Sharpless, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM-LATE. Bisexual. Very much like Bubach in color 
and shape, the Sharpless has held its place among long-time 
growers for many years. In color it is a bright-red and its 
shape varies widely. The berries are large, the vines produce 
medium-size crops of rich and delicately flavored fruit, and 
from many sections of the country comes a uniformly strong 
demand for plants of this old-time variety. Grown only at 
Three Rivers. 
Ohio Boy, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM-EARLY. Bisexual. This variety is of recent orig- 
ination, but already has won generous recognition from straw- 
berry growers of the Central Western states. Our own expe- 
rience at Three Rivera has convinced us that it is a variety 
that will hold a permanent place among extensive strawberry 
growers. It yields large quantities of dark-red berries, this 
color extending from circumference to center, and it is pos- 
sessed of a rich flavor that makes it very attractive to the 
trade. Grown only at Three Rivers. 
Clark's Seedling, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM. Bisexual. Clark's Seedling was originated by 
Mr. Clark near the city or Portland, Oregon, and attained its 
early popularity under the name as here given. Very soon, 
however, it was almost universally adopted by strawberry 
growers in the famous Hood River region, and it was notiong 
before it was known from one end of the continent to the oth- 
er as the "Hood River." Therefore, in considering Clark's 
Seedling, please remember that it is identical with the "Hood 
River" variety. Its popularity ia based primarily upon its 
extraordinary shipping qualities. Hundreds of carloads of 
this variety are shipped from the Pacific Coast to as far east 
as Chicago and arrive there in excellent condition. It ia a
