THOUSANDS of our customers are located in Canada, representing every province. We are glad, therefore, to present this 
fine view of Mr. Whitehall's field of Kellogg- plants. Mr. Whitehall in his letter speaks especially of his admiration for Pride 
of Michigan, saying that "as a fancy berry it cannot be excelled." He continues: ' The unusual vigor of Thoroughbred plants 
I have fully demonstrated as, owing to a late wet spring, my plants remained heeled in for two weeks, and I do not believe that 
one per cent, of them failed to grow." It is such records as these that hold anil increase the trade of the Kellogg Company. 
market them as soon after picking as possible, 
while they have that fresh, appetizing appear- 
ance so familiar to them when first picked from 
the vines. 
I cannot refrain from giving you one of the 
many complimentary experiences I have enjoyed 
at the hands of satisfied customers. One of the 
prominent ministers of our city called on me for 
berries. He thought the price, $3.20 per crate, 
a little high, since other growers were selling for 
$1.50 per crate. However, he bargained for a 
half-crate at the price, $3.20 per crate. A few 
days later the same gentleman returned for more 
berries, and told me that, after sorting the ber- 
ries ready for canning, he and his wife put some 
of them back into the baskets to see how they 
would hold out, and to his surprise, he said that 
the baskets were filled by them. "Now," he 
said, "I do not want to flatter you, but your ber- 
ries are cheaper at 12'A cents a quart than other 
berries on the market are at 8 cents a quart. " 
Wishing you continued success in your straw- 
berry culture, I am. 
Yours very truly, 
J. D. Alexander.

Now, while all of this flurry and sacrifice was 
going on, my Kellogg thoroughbreds were bring- 
ing me from $3.20 to $4.80 per crate of 32 quarts, 
according to size of berries; and it was impossible 
for me to supply the demand at this price, and 
many of my customers had to be disappointed. 
My motto is: grow the best strawberries that can 
be had, fill the boxes full of good, ripe fruit, and
