GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
Copyright 1911 by R. M. Kellogg Co.. Three Rivers, Mich. 
KELLOGG THOROUGHBREDS THREE MONTHS AFTER SETTING OUT 
'T'HIS remarkable field is the property and the pride of R. B. Smith of East Hardwick, Vermont. Mr. Smith had this photo- 
graph taken just three months after the plants were set. and he writes that out of the 3,000 Thoroughbreds we shipped him 
there were not more than four plants that failed to grow. "I cannot recommend your plants too highly." he writes us after 
picking a big crop in 1911, and adds; "Everybody who saw them this season said they were the best they ever saw." 
Fewer Acres, Less Work, More Berries 
and Bigger Profits 
FOR more than a quarter of a century we have 
consistently advocated intensive horticulture, 
and the real meaning of intensive strawberry 
culture, as expressed in actual results is— fewer 
acres, less work, more berries and bigger profits. 
In actual practice intensive strawberry growing 
means (1) high-quality plants; (2) perfectly pre- 
pared soil; (3) continuous cultivation; (4) proper 
picking and packing. Thousands of our customers 
nave adopted this method and have attained the 
highest degree of success in their work. From 
the vast number of letters that have come to us 
from those who use the Kellogg plants and follow 
the Kellogg way we quote the following: 
Freezing Could Not*Discourage Kellogg Plants 
J. L. Lane. St. Ansgar. la., writes: "From one-half acre of 
your plants I gathered 1,4B1 quarts, selling them at 15 cents a 
quart straight, thereby realizing $219.1.5 from the plot. After 
all the freezing, etc., that my plants endured, my yield fell 
short only one-fourth of a crop from an ordinary season. Am 
very much pleased with the showing my plants made." 
Fancy Fruit from Kellogg Plants Brought Fancy Prices 
Mrs. J. Rose, Rutland, Vt., writes Feb. 28, 1911: "The 
plants I bought of you in 1909 turned out wonderfully and my 
berries were mostly fancy ones. I sold them at 15, 20 and 25 
cents a quart. Herewith an order for 2,375 plants." 
Second Crop Yields at Rate of $375.00 to Acre 
W. J. Jones of Silverdale. Wash., writes under date of June 
27, 1911: "We have five of your varieties— Texas. Clyde. Wm. 
Belt. Brandywine and Marshall. They are all fine. We will 
clear better than $125.00 from one-third of an acre this year, 
and this is the second crop." 
Kellogg Berries Enormous in Size and Quantity 
T. H. Pcttinelli. Milford. Calif., writes July 20. 1911: "The 
plants we received from you in 1910 have grown so wonder- 
fully and borne fruit in such great quantity and of enormous 
size that we have named the patch 'Aladdin.' Wehave grown 
strawberries for many years, but this is the beginning of a 
new era." 
Why He Made $1,032 an Acre 
A. A. Gilchrist. Valley Center. Kan., says: "I have been 
so successful with your plants that I want nothing- but Kel- 
logg's Thoroughbreds. My strawberries have led everything 
here for several years. 1 had one-twelfth of an acre of your 
plants last year and they netted me $86.00 (at the rate of 
$1,032 to the acre). Some of my neighbors who don't believe 
there is any difference in strawberry plants have adopted my 
OERE is shown the field of Kelloffg Thoroughbreds on the 
place of Geo. Job of Jewett, N. Y. They are Prides of 
Michigan and Stevens' Late Champion. Mr. Job writes: 
"They are the finest bpriies I ever saw." and adds, that he 
soon will be wantinx more of the same high-quality plants.
