GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM

WARFIELD. FEMALE OR PISTILLATE - EARLY 
■MO hijfher testimony to the quality of a variety could be given than to say that we are offeringr it for the twenty-seventh con- 
secutive year in which it has been grown upon our farms. Warfield was a popular variety nearly thirty years ago, and it 
is not too much to say that each succeeding year shows an increasing demand for it on the part of our customers. A table 
berry of high quality, it is universally recognized as the greatest of all canning berries. It retains its rich, deep-red color no 
matter in what form it may be preserved, and a rich and delicate flaver also is maintained to a degree that is true of no other 
variety we ever have known. In addition to the high quality of iU fruit is the fact that it is an enormous yielder, as a shipper 
It has no superior, and its beautiful fruit is deliciously tart and juicy. Like its favorite mate. Senator Dunlap, it has a very long 
fruiting season, which is another element in its universal popularity. Order generously. Grown at Three Rivers and Twin Falls. 
center of the spaces between the rows. Up to this 
date I have picked and marketed 1,116 quarts of 
the finest berries you ever saw besides what we 
used ourselves and gave away. I sold all my 
choice berries at 15c per quart straight, and the 
culls at 10c, right in our own town of 600 or 700 
population. That plot has already netted me 
$147.13. C. A. Kraut. 
Kellogg Plants in the South 
FREQUENTLY the question is asked us, "Do 
your plants do well in the South?" The 
experiences of several thousand customers 
in that great region denominated in one phrase, 
"the Southern States," makes a complete and 
satisfactory answer to this inquiry, but, as we 
always substantiate every claim we make with 
irrefragable proof, we shall give here some of 
the experiences reported from that part of our 
country. 
Wilbur Smith of Brownwood, Texas, writing 
us under date of May 24, 1913, says: "From the 
150 plants I received from you in the spring of 
1911 I gathered in the spring of 1912, 277 quarts. 
I received 25c a quart for those I sold, the total 
cash returns being $52. The other berries were 
used by my family or given to neighbors. 
" The other day the Texas papers gave consid- 
erable space to what is claimed to be a record- 
size strawberry grown in Brazos county. This 
Iserry was five inches in circumference and two 
inches long. Here is what our local paper says 
about my strawberries : ' Wilbur Smith, who 
grows strawberries in the backyard at his Fagg- 
street home, brought to town this morning two 
strawberries much larger than the 'monster' 
mentioned above. One of the berries measured 
7i inches in circumference, and the other seven 
inches. Mr. Smith didn't consider these berries 
unusually large — 'just ordinarily nice berries,' 
he says. 
"These berries were grown on Kellogg plants. 
The varieties I am growing are Warfield, Glen 
Mary and Wm. Belt.^' 
The plants referred to by Mr. Smith were 
shipped from Three Rivers. Last season a great 
many of our Southern customers, who desired to 
set their plants in the fall and winter, instructed 
us to ship their plants from Canby, Oregon, and 
here are some of the results reported : 
Alvin, Texas, March 1, 1913. "Strawberry 
plants received from Canby, Oregon, in fine shape. 
They are fine plants. Strawberries are selling at 
$6.00 per crate." A. N. Twilligear. 
Crystal Springs, Fla., Jan. 9, 1912, "My Ex- 
celsior and Klondike plants, grown at Canby, Or- 
egon, arrived last night, O. K. They are as 
fine-rooted plants as I ever have seen — equal to
