GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
CopyriSht 1913 by R. M. Kellogg Co.. Three Rivers, Mich. 
SENATOR DUNLAP. MALE OR BISEXUAL- MEDIUM 
IT seems quite unnecessary that we should give a detailed account of this variety which for so long a time has been recognized 
as one of the greatest of the standard varieties. In a word, the Dunlap is an ideal variety from every point of view. There 
are few varieties that are grown successfully over a larger area than the Dunlap. The Dunlap calls for a very rich soil, and 
from Tennessee to remote regions in Northern Canada Dunlap yields large quantities of rich, juicy fruit wherever, as we say, 
favorable soil conditions are provided. No better test of its universality can be made than the fact that we ship this variety to 
every state in the union. This is the sixteenth year we have offered Dunlap to our patrons, and we do so with increasing con- 
fidence every season, penfectly satisfied that it will give every grower just the results he desires. Grown at all our farms. 
charging one-third more than the marlcet price. Last year I 
showed six large plates of strawberries at a horticultural ex- 
hibition in Hamilton, Ontario, which secured a special prize 
as the finest strawberries they had ever seen."

Delighted With Kellogg Berries 
Owen Sound. Ont., Feb. 5, 1913. "I have already purchased 
from you enough plants of the Wm. Belt, Glen Mary and 
Clyde varieties to set out an acre and have tal<en off one crop, 
with which 1 am entirely delighted. I can not say too much 
for those wonderful berries. 1 intend to get more plants next 
year and to continue growing Kellogg's berries." 
Mrs. Esther J. Scott. 
Kellogg Berries Astonishingly Fine 
Millar's Comers. Ont., April 1. 191.3. "It gives me pleasure 
to report to you how the plants purchased from you have 
turned out. I was astonished at the results, as 1 never had 
seen vines loaded with berries as they were. Not only did we 
have a big yield, but there was a demand for the fruit in ex- 
cess of the yield, and I got the highest prices for my berries, 
they were so large and finely flavored. The four large berries 
illustrated in your catalog did not flatter them at all, for we 
have had just as fine and large ones as any you have pictured 
there." Robert Gibson. 
Kellogg Berries Command High Price 
South Vancouver, B. C, June 23, 1913. "My plants pur- 
chased from you are doing very well and my berry patch is 
the talk of the neighborhood. I am selling berries at 16 cents 
a box straight, whereas other berries are being sold at 10 cents 
and as low at three for 25 cents. Your plants are surely O. K.

Dornan Led Them All 
WRITING from Painted Post, N. Y., under 
date of January 23, 1913, E. E. Mayo says: 
"In 1910 I purchased 8500 plants of you 
and they have done finely. Last year I took the 
lead in this section with the Dornan berry. I 
had a ready market and at better prices than any- 
one else around here. Fifteen berries would fill 
a standard quart basket. " 
A Word From Farm Journal 
Philadelphia, Pa., May 22, 1913. 
R. M. Kellogg Co., Three Rivers, Mich.: 
Gentlemen — " In a letter from one of our sub- 
scribers, J. C. Rogers of Bogard, Missouri, we 
are interested to read as follows: 
'I got one thousand plants from the Kellogg Company and 
they were good plants, properly packed. I like to deal with a 
firm like Kellogg's.' 
"We send this along to you because we believe 
that the time to send flowers is when the man is 
alive to appreciate them. 
" Yours very truly, 
"WiLMER Atkinson Co." 
Why Some Plants Do Not Fruit 
RECENTLY we received from a horticultural 
journal a reauest to answer a subscriber's 
inquiry, "Why do some plants fail to 
fruit?" 
The reason is a simple one. When plants fail to 
fruit, it indicates that they have become weaken- 
ed by pollen secretion and seed production, due 
to lack of restriction or improper selection, or 
both. Runner plants always inherit the char- 
acteristics of the mother plant; therefore, plants 
that come from unfruitful plants will be unfruit-
