GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM

KELLOGG S PRIDE OF MICHIGAN, THREE-FOURTHS SIZE 
CINCE 1905, when we first olTered Pride of Michigan to our patrons after several seasons of careful test, this great variety 
*^ has grown steadily in public favor and today it is recognized the country over as being the greatest of the late fancy fruits. 
The letters we receive from customers all over the country fully endorse all that we have said respecting this wonderful variety. 
The illustration above indicates the attractive form and great size of this variety, but the artist could scarcely show in 
colors its bright beauty, and no one can ever imagine the fine flavor without sampling them. 
Referring to his experience with Pride of Michigan, S. B. Butler of Hartford. Mich, writes us under date of May 5, 1911: 
"I have the finest patch of Prides of Michigan in this country and the beautiful fruit they grow is indicated by the fact that I 
sold seven berries for $7.00, I took these particular berries down to town and held them up in my hands. Two Chicago men 
came along and began bidding on them and ran them up to $7.00. or $1.00 apiece. They said when they got back to Chicago 
they would show the people there the finest specimens of strawberries they ever saw." 
J M. Greek of Prospect, Ohio, Feb, 20, 1911, says; "Your plants are the best 1 ever saw. I grow plants on a plot about lOO 
feet square, but always seek the best. Pride of Michigan is fine— great big fellows. The plants I have are from your farm." 
ually throughout the entire growing season is to 
insure every customer who purchases Kellogg 
plants against any insects or plant diseases. In 
this connection let us say that arsenate of lead 
has almost altogether supplanted Paris green as 
<in insecticide, while the lime-sulphur solution is 
generally recognized as more effective tlian Bor- 
deaux mixture. Our own observation and expe- 
rience confirm this view, and we therefore advise 
the use of arsenate of lead and lime-sulphur solu- 
tion as above indicated. 
How to Handle Wet Land 
Low, marshy land which is not subject to over- 
flow often produces record crops of berries. 
Such land should be prepared the same as any 
other land, but the method of setting the plants 
.should be changed. In wet land there should be 
a ridge made foi' every row of plants. This can 
be done vvith a common breaking plow, by throw- 
ing two furrows together, known as a back fur- 
row. When these ridges are all made, run a rol- 
ler lengthwise over them so as to press them 
down. The rows of plants may be set on top of 
these ridges. This method is followed in southern 
Texas where the land is marshy and wet. It also 
is followed in some irrigated districts of Califor- 
nia. We recommend this plan in any low soils or 
in any country where such heavy rains fall as to 
cause the water to lie on the ground for any great 
length of time. 
Growing Strawberries by Irrigation 
TN setting strawberry plants in soil which is to 
receive its moisture by irrigation, a furrow 
should be made where each row of plants is to be 
set. In making these furrows a tool known in 
all irrigated districts as a corrugator should be 
used. These tools may be set so as to make two 
furrows at a time, three and one-half feet apart. 
After the furrows are made, run water into them 
until the soil is thoroughly wet from eight to ten 
inches on each side. After the soil is dry enough 
to work, set a row of plants along the side of 
each furrow about four inches from the edge. 
The water should follow the men who are setting
