TYPICAL ILLUSTRATION OF THE KELLOGG STRAWBERRY GARDEN 
THIS is a scene in the strawberry garden of Mr. and Mrs. Andrews of Washburn, III. Writing: us under date of July 23rd, 
1912, Mrs. Andrews says: "We have used your plants for ten years. Every year we have more berries than our entire 
family can use. Last year we sold $37.00 worth, and our garden is only 25x75 feet." Everybody who wishes it, may have a 
strawberry garden, and no other feature of the home will create more interest among- the members of the family than the garden. 
$3.00 Kellogg's Big Red Strawberry Garden $3.00 
SEND us $3.00 and we wiil select for you a 
strawberry garden thut will produce more 
berries than your entire family can eat, 
summer and winter. This garden will be com- 
posed of 250 plants selected from four or five of 
our choicest varieties— those which are especially 
adapted to your section. You can have straw- 
berries and cream, shortcake, jam, preserves 
and canned berries the year round, and you can 
sell enough berries to pay for the garden and the 
sugar used in putting up your winter's supply. 
Your berries will really cost you nothing. 
Pleasures and Profits of a Strawberry Garden 
To grow strawberries requires no more expe- 
rience and no more work tnan to grow the most 
common vegetables. Indeed, it is less work, be- 
cause a well-planned and well-cared-for straw- 
berry garden will fruit two or three years, while 
a vegetable garden must be planted every year. 
Strawberries will yield more dollars worth of 
fruit per square rod than any other crop, and 
they come into full bearing quicker than any 
other kind of fruit. 
To have fresh strawberries and cream, short- 
cake, pure jam, preserved and canned berries is 
a luxury enjoyed only by those who grow their 
own strawberries. 
If there is anything that grows on a tree, bush, 
vine or plant that is more delicious than a fully 
ripened and freshly picked strawberry, it is some- 
thing we never have had the pleasure of tasting. 
A family garden without strawberries is as in- 
complete as a home without children. No amount 
of money can buy boys and girls like those you 
grow yourself. Neither can money buy the same 
kind of strawberries that grow right in your own 
garden, picked when you want them and as you 
want them. 
A Typical Example 
Here is a typical instance of success with a 
strawberry garden as reported by H. W. Doyle, 
of Topeka, Kan., who is connected with the state 
administration of Kansas. He wrote us under 
date of June 30, 1913, as follows: 
Topeka, Kansas. June 30, 1913. 
In the sprinsr of 1912 I bought 150 thorousrhbred, pedigreed 
strawberry plants from the R. M. Kellogg Company— Senator 
Dunlap and Warfield. They came in fine condition, and 
sturdy little fellows they were. 1 set them in six rows three 
feet apart, twenty inches apart in the row. They were care- 
fully cultivated throughout the season and mulched in the 
fall. From this small patch. 18x40 feet, we picked 262 quarts 
of the finest, biggest and most luscious strawberries 1 ever 
ate or saw. 
We sold 199 quarts, valued at $13 91 
Gaveaway 27 quarts, valued at 2.92 
Used ourselves. 36 quarts, valued at 3.45 
Total. 262 quarts, valued at $20.27 
Cash outlay for: 
Plants 1.35 
Manure tO 1.8S 
Net profit $18.42 
Cost of a Strawberry Garden 
We claim that you can grow your own straw- 
berries at a cost of less than 1 cent a gallon, but 
in reality your berries cost you nothing. During
