GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
Copyright 1913 by R. M. Kellojsg Co., Three Rivers, Mich, 
THE POSSIBILITIES OF THE SMALL STRAWBERRY PATCH 
XJERE we have an illustration of what may be done in the way of growing strawberries successfully in a small way. Albert 
E. Langille of Worcester, Mass., certainly has made an extraordinary success of his plot. Please note how neatly he has 
staked the several varieties— Early Ozark, Fendall. Helen Davis and Pride of Michigan. He purchased 100 Kellogg plants in 
1912, but although he had floods and drouth to lessen the crop, he writes us that he picked 192 quarts of fruit from the patch. 
in full bloom, as the season was very late. I followed your 
directions, carefully trimming tops and roots, and I do not be- 
lieve I shall lose one of these plants. They started growing 
as soon as the little root tendrils touched the earth. I set 
every one of the plants myself. The ever-bearing plants 
from Michigan we set out at once, and they have started 
growing. They look as bright and happy as if they never had 
been disturbed." 
Oregonian Pleased With Home-Grown Plants 
LaGrande, Ore., April 19, 1913. "Received plants from 
Canby all O. K. All were in fine condition, and I am very 
well pleased." Charles Ochs. 
Concerning the Idaho Branch Plants 
EQUALLY cheerful are the customers who 
bought plants from our branch farm located 
at Twin Falls, Idaho. Here we grow strawberry 
plants under the same ideal conditions that ob- 
tain on our other farms, and from mother plants 
originally supplied from the home farm at Three 
Rivers. We can find space here for only a few 
of the letters received, but they express just the 
sort of pleasure and confidence in our plants that 
make us very sure the writers are to go forward 
to big success as strawberry growers: 
Colorado Customers Content 
Littleton, Colo., May 28, 1913. "The Jocunda plants were 
received on the 22nd instant, and the shipment from your 
farm was the best of three shipments made us this spring, 
' The next time we are in the market for plants you will get the 
order." L. C. Law. 
Denver, Colo., May 10, 1913. "The plants from Twin Falls 
arrived May 3, and were set out the same day. They seem to 
be doing: very well." J. A. Haigu. 
Idahoans are Enthusiastic 
Conant, Idaho, May 22, 1913. "I have just received my 
plants in the very best possible shape. Many thanks. Every- 
one who sees them expresses the opinion that they are the 
finest plants be ever saw, and it certainly is true." 
R. S. Rice. 
Tensed, Idaho, July 26, 1913. "I have had what seems to 
me such an exceptionally larjce yield from the 300 plants ship- 
ped from your Twin Falls branch a year agro last spring, that 
I thought you would be interested in hearing about it. We 
bought from you 200 plants of the Wm. Belt and 100 Glen 
Mary plants. We purchased from another firm at the same 
time 100 plants each of Dunlap and Aroma. The Aroma 
plants which came from another nursery than yours arrived 
in such poor condition and had such a poor root system that 
about half of them died soon after setting, eo we had a total 
of about 450 plants to start with. This month we have picked 
more than 500 quarts from this small patch, three-fourths of 
which were produced from your Belts and Glen Marys. We 
have sold about $25 worth of berries, eating from four to five 
quarts per day on our own table, and have canned or pre- 
served several crates. We still have a good many berries on 
the vines, and the output of this patch will probably be near- 
ly 600 quarts. I am an experienced grower of strawberries, 
and shall certainly order Kellogg plants in the future."

Montana Prefers Kellogg Plants 
Florence, Mont., Nov. 12, 1912. "The 32.000 plants we pur- 
chased from you arrived in splendid shape, and have made a 
magnificent growth. I would rather pay what you ask for 
plants than to get common plants for nothing." 
Wm. J. Gall. 
pleasant Valley. Mont., June 20, 1913. "The plants arrived 
in good condition, and all but two or three are looking fine. I 
thank you very much for care and attention paid to my order.

Mrs. a. D. Stillman. 
Missoula, Mont., August 7, 1913. "The strawberry plants 
received from your Twin Falls farm are the finest I have ever 
seen." Mrs. G. A. Snook. 
Thoroughbreds Popular in New Mexico 
Porvenir, N. Mex., May 10, 1913. *'The strawberry plants 
arrived from Twin Falls last Tuesday, and were set out the 
next morning. The box they were shipped in was broken in 
transit, and at first I thought the plants were in too poor con- 
dition to grow. However, the plants are now in excellent con- 
dition and practically every one of them is making good 
growth. I am a pioneer in strawberries here, as I have the 
only plants within twenty miles. Your plants are five times 
as good as I could raise." Harrison D. Burrall.

Granite Falls, Wash., May 7, 1913. "It has been some time 
since 1 received the shipment of plants made from your Twin 
Falls farm, but I have been too busy most of the time to get 
my breath. Beg pardon for not thanking you before. The 
plants are doing finely and can truly say I do not think any- 
one can beat your plants." E. F. Granger. 
Femdale, Wash., April 17, 1913. "Received plants all O. K. 
They were in fine shape and were all green and fresh as if 
they had been taken up the day before. I am well pleased
