GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
Copyright 1913 by R. M. KeUoggCo., Three Rivers. Mich. 
JOCUNDA. MALE OR BISEXUAL - MEDIUM 
JOCUNDA for some years has enjoyed sreat local popularity in the state of Colorado because of its remarkable success in ex- 
tremely high altitudes. It has made wonderful records amoner the mountains at an altitude of eight thousand feet. Some 
years ago we tested out this variety at both Three Rivers, Michigan, and Twin Falls, Idaho, only to find that it is quite as pro- 
lific and as fine in every other way when grown at lower altitudes. The result of our experience has been the widening-out of 
the field of this great variety until now it is grown practically everywhere with great success. Therefore, while we can with 
perfect confidence recommend it anywhere, we especially commend it to our Inter-Mountain-State customers. Jocunda is a 
very dark-red berry of delicious flavor. Its size and form are shown in the illustration above. It is very hardy, as what we 
have said will, of course, suggest. It has a very thick leaf tissue, is a strong resister of the attacks of insect pests and is im- 
mune to fungous diseases. It is a powerful bisexual and an excellent mate for pistillates of the mid-season. It deserves a 
generous order from all our customers in all of the sections we have indicated. Grown at Twin Falls and Three Rivers 
rieties a customer may order, nor can we tell the 
season when his particular order is to be filled. 
In 1912, for instance, we paid something more 
than $200 in cash for postage on plants in excess 
of the amount received for postage. This repre- 
sented, of course, a dead loss to us. Therefore, 
we wish it distinctly understood that 20 cents per 
hundred plants from Three Rivers and Twin Falls 
and 30 cents per hundred plants from Canby, 
Oregon, is the rate we charge without any re- 
gard to the actual weight of the particular ship- 
ment of plants. We have adopted these rates 
after carefully weighing up thousands of pack- 
ages representing all of the varieties we grow. 
We find that the average weight of one hun- 
dred plants calls for the amount of postage 
named. Therefore, we wish each individual cus- 
tomer to understand that the amount of postage 
appearing upon his package of plants, that may 
come by mail, whether it be in excess of the 
amount paid or below the amount paid, has noth- 
ing whatever to do with the particular consign- 
ment, and we shall not refund any postage to 
anyone because the postage actually paid on his 
consignment is below the amount he has remitted 
for postage. 
Even under these conditions we have every 
reason to expect that the amount of postage re- 
ceived throughout a given season will be less 
than the amount of postage we pay. 
Our customers are well aware of the fact that 
we advocate shipping plants by express wherever 
it is possible to do so. We have no desire to make 
one penny on postage. If we could advise a cus- 
tomer exactly what his postage was to be, we 
should very much prefer to do so. But as this is

impossible, we have adopted, as nearly as may be 
estimated, an average rate, and this will in all 
cases be enforced, and no complaints from custo- 
mers that they have been charged an excessive 
amount of postage will receive our attention. It 
is due to us that our customers read our regula- 
tions, learn our rules, and if after doing so they 
decide to give us their business, they should in 
all cases cheerfully abide by those rules. 
Kellogg Plants in Canada 
p^VERY year we ship our strawberry plants to 
hundreds of Canadian customers from the 
extreme eastern tip of Nova Scotia out in the 
Atlantic, to the beautiful islands of British Co- 
lumbia in the broad Pacific. Therefore, we have 
quite as close relations with our Canadian neigh- 
bors as we do with the friends on this side of the 
line, and are always glad to hear from them when 
they write to tell us about our plants. Here are 
a few letters from the great Dominion: 
Kellogg Berries Are Beautiful 
Upper Pugwash. Nova Scotia, March 20. 1913. "I received 
my first lot of strawberry plants from your farm in 1903, and 
I must say that they were fine plants and produced beautiful 
berries. I have sent you an order nearly every year since that 
time. I now am thinking of setting out a larger field this 
spring, and you will find enclosed remittance for the plants 
ordered. If you do not have some of the particular varieties I 
am sending for. send what you consider the best."

Kellogg Berries Win a Special Prize 
Dundas, Ont.. Jan. 27, 1913. "Last season our strawberries 
grown from your plants were in such demand that we could 
not supply them in sufficient quantities though we were
