GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 21 
Copyright 1911 by R. M. Kellogg Co., Three Rivers. Mich. 
PICKERS IN THE FIELD OF O. F. ILER. LAOTTO, INDIANA 
THERE are a good many picliers in this field, but they were needed, even though the field was but three-fourths of an acre in 
area. Mr. Her writes us that in nine days these picl<ers gathered almost 6,000 quarts of berries, and there were still a good 
many more to harvest when this fine record had been made. No wonder our customers always insist on planting Thoroughbreds ! 
way of cultivating, and can't sec why it is that they don't 
succeed in raising the kind of berries I do. I tell them it's the 
Kellogg plants." 
$25.50 From Three Square Rods 
H. E. Cuendet, Condon. Ore., writes: "I have tried out 
your plants with flattering results. I set out three square 
rods on unfertilized ground and sold from them $25.50 worth 
of berries. At this rate one acre would bring $1,360; and the 
birds got their share of the berries, too." 
$180.25 From 1300 Kellogg Plants 
A. N. Squires of Norwich, N. Y., writes that from 1300 of 
our plants he realized in cash $180.25: "besides two families 
had all they wanted to use, and that was no small quantity. 
One old berry man visited me and declared that he never be- 
fore had seen such big berries and so many of them for so 
small a patch." 
$122.00 From 1000 Kellogg Plants. 
Wm. J. Lewis. Milton, N. H., writes: "1 sold $122.00 worth 
of strawberries from 1000 of your plants in 1910." 
Berries from Kellogg Plants Command High Prices 
p. E. Burger. Sali.N, la,, says: "I sold the berries from your 
plants at 20 cents a quart at first, then later on at 15 cents. 
It seemed like the people couldn't get them fast enough. 
Kellogg berries are all right!" 
2,500 Quarts from 2,000 Plants 
J. J. Pedigo, Vollmer, Idaho, writes: "The 2.0110 Wm. Belt 
plants I received from you in 1909 yielded 2.500 quarts. Quite 
a number of the berries measured nine inches in circumfer- 
ence. Kellogg's Thoroughbred Pedigree plants for me, and 
all the time." 
Kellogg Plants Grow Enormous Berries in Oklahoma 
Hugh Simpson. Paul's 'Valley. Okla., writing May 15. 1911. 
says: 'My 400 plants received from you in 1910 already have 
yielded 225 quarts, and will go over 300, I am sure. My Wm. 
Belts are enormous, and all are line. " 
8256 Quarts From Two Acres in a Dry Season 
W. J. Parks, Lake Linden, Mich., writes July 24. 1911: 
"Have just completed harvesting my 1911 crop of Kellogg 
strawberries. 1 picked and sold from two acres 268 bushels 
(8256 quarts) and gross receipts were $890.00. " 
$100.00 From Only 1,450 Kellogg Plants 
J. R. Dennis of Oakley. 111., writes in 1911: "Last year i 
took $100.00 worth of fruit from 1.460 of your plants. This 
spring I expect to purchase 5.000 more plants." 
Succeeded With His First Crop 
Clarence J. Ragan. Fillmore. Ind.. writes: "Last year was 
my first experience with strawberries, but can say that 
Address all communications and make all remittances 
through the help and guidance of your book I was led togreat 
success. From the thousand plants 1 got of you I made $85.00. 
My neighbors said they never saw such fine berries. Your 
illustrations and statements in your book are not in the least 
exaggerated." 
Kellogg Plants Produce Large and Delicious Fruit 
Mrs. Henry L. Day, Excelsior, Minn., writes July l:i. 1911: 
""The plants I purchased of you two years ago have this sea- 
son exceetled all of my expectations. The berries were t^e 
largest and most delicious I ever have seen or tasted, and the 
supply lastetl about four weeks." 
Four Kellogg Dornans Weigh One-Half Pound 
Mi-s. J. N. Shaw, Galesburg, Kan. "We certainly have en- 
joyed our bed of Dornan plants bought of you. The first 
crop was the wonder of the neighborhood. I weighed four 
berries which together tipped the beam at one-half pound." 
C'ROM far-away British Columbia comes the photograph 
from which this illustration is made. S. Ransom of Dun- 
can. Vancouver Island, B. C, writes us that it is a view of 
his home and the plants he received from us in the early 
spring of 1911. He received 800 plants and 777 of them grew 
to perfection, despite their long journey by rail and water,
