GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
Copyright 1915 by R. M. Kellogg Co., Three Rivers, Mich. 
SAME STRAWBERRY GARDEN AS SHOWN ON OPPOSITE PAGE 
A FTER the vegetables, which grew between these strawberry rows, were consumed, we had this photograph made to show 
that the vegetables did not in any way intei-fere with the growth of the strawberry plants. Indeed, we never have seen 
a more beautiful strawberry garden. The lady with the hoe is Mrs. Frank E. Beatty. She enjoys spending her spare moments 
in her strawberry garden because it takes her out into the open and because it is a diversion from her household cares. Any 
woman can spend her spare time in the strawberry garden with great pleasure and profit, and those who have only a limited 
amount of ground need not hesitate to grow both strawberries and garden vegetables in the same place and at the same time. 
This garden contains both standard and everbearing varieties, and will furnish berries from early June until November. 
weather. And plants that were set as late as 
June 10 began bearing early in August and 
continued to fruit until November. One of 
our customers having the largest everbearing 
strawberry farm in the world and who pur- 
chased 180,000 everbearing plants in the 
spring of 1915, received for his everbearing 
strawberries $5.00 per crate on the Chicago 
market for a very large portion of his prod- 
uct. They were pronounced by Chicago ex- 
perts to be the finest lot of strawberries that 
ever had come to the Chicago market. We 
cannot speak in too high terms of the product 
of such varieties as our Superb, Progressive, 
Onward, Advance and Forward. There is no 
longer the slightest doubt as to the fixed 
nature of the everbearing plants. They are 
as reliable as any of the standard varieties 
and, as we have indicated above, the ex- 
periences of our customers fully justify the 
strongest statements we ever have made 
concerning these remarkable plants. 
I. Elmer White, an Idaho banker, wrote us 
under date of August 19, 191.5 as follows: "The 
everbearing plants I received from you early in 
April have far outdistanced the highest expec- 
tations I had as to bearing qualities and rapid 
growth. The statements made in your catalog 
concerning these plants and their wonderful pro- 
ducing qualities have been more than justified in 
my experience. We are now (August 19, 1915) 
getting daily all the berries we want for table 
consumption and I have given away a great many 
boxes to my friends, who can hardly believe that 
I am daily gathering such fine berries at this 
season of the year. These berries are large and 
have the brightest color of any that I ever have 
seen. " 
Frank Ewer of Utah writes us as follows: "I 
received fifty Progressive plants last spring from 
Twin Falls. We had fine berries from the last of 
August until some time in November when they 
froze. At that time they were loaded with ber- 
ries and blossoms." 
Mrs. Cora Levitt of Illinois says: "The ever- 
bearing plants I purchased of you last spring are 
doing splendidly. I must say that your plants far 
excel any others I ever have grown. In spite of 
dry, hot weather lait year, we had fine fruit in 
July and plants were continually loaded with bloom 
and berries until autumn." 
E. S. Smith, of Ohio, wi-ites: "In the spring 
of 1914 I bought 100 plants of your Superb ever- 
bearers. It is the greatest wonder I ever saw in 
strawberries. " 
M. A. Lowery of Minnesota writes us as fol- 
lows: "I can only say for your plants that they 
are better than recommended. I wish also to say 
that there are no berries that I know of in the 
stateof Minnesota that compare with the Superb. " 
W. Souter, another Minnesotian writes us as 
follows: "They talk of the seven wonders of the
