R. M. Kellogg's Great Crops of 
TEN DOLLARS PER DAY AND FREE EXCURSION TO THREE RIVERS. 
Certain parties liave circulated stories that 
tliis establislunent is not what it is purported to 
he and that we arc not breeding our phmts in 
the skillful manner pointed out in these pages. 
For years everj'body has been invited to visit 
our grounds and see the work going on. They 
have come from every state in the Union in 
great numbers and have seen with their own 
eyes and have gone away delighted. Not only 
fruit growers, Init men of the highest profes- 
sional standing in the country have visited us 
and in every case have given me the highest 
commendation for the perfect system and 
thoroughness with which the work goes on. 
Now to set at rest these "Doubting Thom- 
ases" I hereby agree to pay to any person re- 
siding in the United States as follows: 
Take the finest train, stop at the best hotel, 
sleep in the best car and come to Three Rivers 
and inspect carefully this entire institution, ask 
any and all the questions you choose and, if 
you can show that every statement is not be- 
ing carried olit just as represented in this book, 
I hereby agree to pay all expenses as above 
and the further sum of ten dollars i>er diem 
from the time you leave home until you ar- 
rive back to your home, you going and com- 
ing direct. 
If you find everything just as stated and fail 
to find any misstatement in these pages, then 
you pay all your own expenses, except while 
here. We always entertain our visitors free of 
charge and either the superintendent or myself 
will conduct you over the grounds and explain 
everything. We claim and are ready to show 
any person that we have expended a larger sum 
of money in getting ideal conditions and that 
we are giving more labor in tillage and means 
to develop and make better plants than any 
other i)ersons on the continent; not only so, 
but we shall in the future not liesitate to incur 
any outlay that will contribute to the better- 
ment of these plants. 
The berry pickers of J. O. Statts, of Vermillion. Co., 
Indiana, who enjoys the reputation of beinR the leading 
berry grower of the county. He wriies; "We follow your 
teachings to the letter." 
II. K. \\ ayin.iu. Mercer Co., Mo., sends n photo of his 
berry fields and expresses his pleasure at results and tells 
of immense crops of big berries as positive proof of suc- 
cess in thoronjjhbreeding in plants, followed by thor- 
nuph tillage commended in *'Great crops of Strawber- 
ries," etc.
