GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM

HOW WE PREVENT TROUBLE ON THE KELLOGG FARMS 
TTHIS scene is sugsrestive of the methods we employ to insure perfectly clean plants to every customer. Spraying goes on 
throughout the entire season, even though there be no sign of insect pest or of plant diseases. Arsenate of lead is insui-ance 
against the insects that might attack the plants, and lime-sulphur solution is the best preventive of fungous diseases. We use 
between 400 and 500 barrels of spraying materials each season and though it is expensive work we find it a paying investment. 
world. I must say and say it truthfully, if there 
is an eighth wonder it is your Superb everbearing 
strawberry. The berries are not only fine, but 
are immense in size and yield and they are de- 
licious in flavor. They never cease blossoming 
and bearing during the growing season, and there 
never is a berry smaller than the end of a man's 
thumb. The plants are very large and grow 
steadily larger as the season advances. If there 
is any one thing I am proud of it is my row of 
Superb plants. People who call to see my place 
look at the Superbs in wonder." 
Letters of similar import have come to us 
from every section of the United States, 
showing that the everbearers are not only 
universal in their habitat, but that they have 
lengthened the strawberry season by more 
than three full months and have opened up 
an absolutely new field in the world of horti- 
culture. Today the strawberry grower has 
the longest season of picking known to any 
line of horticulture, and one of the most en- 
couraging signs of the times is the avidity 
with which the general public has siezed 
upon this opportunity for delicious fruit in 
the late summer and fall, thus insuring to 
the strawberry grower an immediate sale 
for all the high-class everbearing straw- 
berries he can send to the market. Under 
such conditions every up-to-date strawberry 
grower should engage not only in the work 
of growing standard varieties for the early 
summer market, but should set out a very 
generous crop to the everbearing sorts in 
complete confidence that his work in this 
direction will be attended by generous suc- 
cess and very large profit. 
New Triumphs in Horticulture 
HTHE four fine standard varieties, which we 
have described above, and to which are 
to be added the great everbearers we carry 
in our list, represent new triumphs in horti- 
culture that make not only for a wonderful 
increase in the wealth of the world, but in 
the pleasure and delight which such intro- 
ductions afford. It gives us great satisfaction 
to report that we have a generous supply of 
all of the great everbearers and the four 
recent originations, and we cannot too 
strongly urge upon our friends everywhere 
the advantage which will accrue to them of 
setting a generous number of the plants of 
all the varieties to which particular reference 
here is made. Such quality in plants and in 
fruit as is presented in this book never was 
dreamed of even so recently as ten years 
ago. It is most gratifying to us to be able 
to present to our customers so noble an array 
of extraordinary varieties, the equal of which 
may not be found on any other farm in the 
world.
