GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
Copyright 1911 by R. M. Kelloga Co.. Three Rivers, Mich. 
IVIORE THAN $700.00 FROM FIVE-EIGHTS OF AN ACRE 
'T'HIS is a very beautiful field of strawberries as all will admit, but "beauty is as beauty does," and under this test it stands 
* out even more prominently. J. H. Ga8:e. of Ray, Ind., writes concerning: his fine field; "This is one field of your Thorough- 
bred plants that yielded me 156 bushels on five-eights of an acre. I sold my fruit for 14 cents a quart by the crate, or 15 centa 
for a less quantity. Other growers sold theirs at 'three for a quarter' and had to hustle to get rid of their crop, while mine 
were taken as fast as they were picked, and then I could not supply the demand." Never can supply the demand for such fruit. 
ican strawberry plants. So ordered 25 each of 
several kinds. They are Longfellow, Virginia, 
Heritage, Buster, Senator Dunlap and Helen 
Davis — wee, tiny little plants (plenty of root 
though) but didn't appear to have strength 
enough to pull through after their trans-Atlantic 
trip. But after a fortnight nearly all of them 
are 'going it strong' — leaves developed and even 
flowers. The gardener seemed inclined to shed 
tears, and remarked, 'This beats the old country 
anyhow. ' I am much surprised to see how they 
have looked up in so short a time. " 
Never Found a Poor Kellogg Plant 
UNDER date of June 5, 1911, Wm. T. LeFevre, 
Horticulturist in charge of the Bitter Root 
Valley Irrigation Company's work near Hamil- 
ton, Mont., writes: "While I was connected with 
the college at Bozeman I referred a great many 
inquirers to you, and took particular pains to in- 
spect the plants when they came, and of the 
many shipments that came in, some very late in 
the season, I never found one plant that I thought 
■would not live." 
This is the record of our Thoroughbred Pedigree 
plants wherever they are properly treated. And 
referring to "pedigreed plants," we take pleas- 
ure in quoting herewith from a recent address of 
Leonard Coates of Morganhill, Calif., before the 
Pacific Coast Association of Nurserymen, what 
that authority had to say on the subject: "An 
increasing number of fruit growers all over Cali- 
fornia believe in pedigreed trees, the theory and 
practice of selecting individuals from which to 
propagate being warmly upheld by Prof. F. T. 
Bioletti of the University of California, Mrs. M. 
E. Sherman of Minnewawa and others. The term 
'pedigreed' implies exceptional and fixed quality, 
and that is what we desire. Pedigreed stock is 
simply the propagation of selected plants, wheth- 
er bud variants, mutants, or by whatever name 
they may be known to scientists. " 
Kellogg Plants Not Sold by Agents 
T^HE Kellogg Thoroughbred Pedigree plants 
are not sold by agents or by any other nursery- 
men or seedsmen. The only way you can secure 
the genuine Kellogg plants is to order directly 
from the R. M. Kellogg Co. Sometimes neigh- 
bors form a club and send in a single order to us, 
and this we always are glad to have them do. 
Many agents carry our book and claim to be sel- 
ling our plants, but there is no agent anywhere 
authorized to represent us as our agent or to sell 
our plants. Some agents who claim to sell our 
plants buy the cheapest plants they can get and 
deliver them as Kellogg plants. From this time 
on every package of Kellogg plants will bear our 
trade mark as shown in the upper left-hand cor- 
ner of the back cover page of this book, and no 
plants will be genuine that do not bear this trade 
mark. 
$175 From a Quarter of an Acre 
FL. JENKINS, Leon, Iowa, writing under 
• date of September 2, 1911, says: "One- 
fourth acre of R. M. Kellogg Co. 's Thoroughbred 
plants this season produced for me $175.00 worth 
of fine berries." In other words, Mr. Jenkins 
testifies to the fact that Kellogg's Thoroughbreds 
yielded berries at the rate of $700.00 an acre— a 
record of which any man may justly feel proud. 
It is only plants capable of producing such re- 
sults that are worth the time and expense to grow.
