GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
Copyright 1915 by R. M. Kellogg Co., Three Rivers. Mich. 
O. P. WILLIAMS' BACKYARD STRAWBERRY GARDEN 
MR WILLIAMS of Michigan believes in making his bacltyard work. This little backyard strawberry garden measures only 
18 X 40 feet and it produces more berries than a large family can use summer and winter. The surplus berries pay for th« 
plants, buy sugar and cans for putting up the winter supply of berries and furnishes the women folks with some spending 
money. Such a garden as this will add beauty, pleasure and profit to your home. All who can do so should grow strawberries. 
Kellogg's Garden and Acre Selections 
OUR garden and acre selections made during 
past seasons have been such an aid to those 
who have adopted our suggestions along that 
line that we have decided to offer, at special 
prices, a series of garden and acre selections of 
strawberry plants. And in order that we may 
serve the very best interests of our customers, 
we present herewith a series of such selections so 
graduated as to meet the requirements of all. 
Whether you have a tiny patch in a city backyard, 
or a more generous area on a town lot, or if you 
desire to set one or more acres of plants, we shall 
be able to fill your requirements to your complete 
satisfaction, and the individual purchaser may be 
perfectly confident that his purpose shall be fully 
satisfied with a selection of varieties particularly 
adapted to hia situation both as to number of 
plants and the varieties selected. Simply give 
us the size of your plot, your location, climate and 
soil conditions, and we shall promptly submit for 
your approval an ideal selection that will insure 
your complete success as a strawberry grower. 
During the past years we have made selections 
for thousands of our customers, and the fact that 
these same growers continue to have us select for 
them is pretty good evidence that we have chosen 
varieties that have proved entirely satisfactory 
both in productiveness and quality of fruit. When 
we select varieties for our customers we not only 
choose those which are best adapted to the soil 
and climatic conditions under which they are to 
be grown, but we also use varieties that mate 
perfectly. Suitable varieties and proper mating 
are very essential to success in the growing of 
strawberries. 
Because of the variety of soils and climatic con- 
ditions under which our plants are grown it is 
impossible for us to mention here what varieties 
we should select for you, as we do not know the 
kind of soil you have, or your climatic conditions. 
For instance, some varieties do best in heavy clay 
soil, some prefer sandy loam and some black loam, 
and some varieties do their best in heavy black 
soil, while others like a light sandy soil. And we 
find that some varieties do exceptionally well in 
poor and thin soil, while other varieties must have 
soil that is very rich. 
With these varied conditions in mind you readi- 
ly will see how impossible it would be for us to 
select varieties adapted to your conditions until 
we know where and under what circumstances the 
plants are to be grown. But when we are fully 
advised on these points, we then can intelligently 
select just the varieties you should have.
