GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
Copyright 1915 by R. M. Kellogg Co., Three Rivers, Mich. 
SAME SUPERB PLANTS AS SHOWN IN BUNCH ON OPPOSITE PACE 
THESE are the same plants as shown in bunch on opposite page. Arrived May 10th, set same date, photographed July 20th. 
We began picking big red strawberries from these plants early in July, and they were loaded with green berries when pho- 
tographed, and they fruited continuously until freezing weather. The twenty thousand plants that came in the same ship- 
ment have made a growth equally as good or better than the plants shown here; they also yielded fruit in the same manner as 
these plants. These photographs tell the Kellogg story betterthan words could do. Success with such plants isassured in advance. 
suit, for in all cases plants of highest quality 
and fruiting power will be chosen. 
The number of plants required to set an acre 
depends entirely upon the system you have de- 
cided to follow. For instance, if you decide to 
grow berries by the hill system, it will require 
14,000 plants to the acre; the single-hedge calls 
for 7,250 plants, but if you decide to grow under 
the triple-hedge-row system, it will require only 
6,250 plants. Therefore, the number of plants 
we shall recommend for the area you intend to 
set to strawberries will depend upon the size of 
the plot and the system you intend to follow. All 
of these matters will be fully explained after we 
receive the necessary information from you. 
Try Growing Strawberries One Year 
TF there is any doubt in your mind about straw- 
berry profits, try growing them for just one 
year, and then you can quit if you want to; but 
you will not quit, because the pleasure and profits 
of strawberry growing will induce you to increase 
your acreage rather than to quit the work. The 
lirstyear's experience will fully convince you that 
strawberries give quicker returns and greater 
profits than any other crop, and if you do not fall 
headlong in love with the work, and if you do not 
make more money than you are now making, wo 
shall miss our guess. We base our prediction on 
the assumption that what other men and women 
have done, you can do. The profit of strawberry 
growing is no longer a guess with us, or with our 
thousands of customers. Those who started grow- 
ing strawberries years ago still are growing straw- 
berries and are increasing their acreage from year 
to year. 
Perhaps you think you cannot succeed at grow- 
ing strawberries because you have had little or 
no experience. We had no experience whatever 
when we started growing strawberries thirty- 
three years ago, but we succeeded in spite of the 
fact that we were greenhorns. We now have 
more than one hundred thousand customers and 
every one of them started with no experience. 
They are still growing strawberries and no doubt 
will continue in the business as long as it proves 
as pleasant and profitable as it has in the past. 
When you begin growing strawberries you get 
into a business that is not overdone. Every town, 
regardless of its size, offers a splendid opportuni- 
ty for anyone who will grow strawberries of high 
quality. A large percentage of our customers 
who are now making big money in growing straw- 
berries, and who now have a business that is mak- 
ing them practically independent, are men and 
women who became tired of the steady toil and 
grind that is the lot of the mere wage-earner. 
They simply became convinced that there was 
money in strawberry growing, and they had the 
grit and determination to make the start. Suc- 
ceeding in business of any kind is like learning to 
swim — you must make the plunge. 
Our most successful customers were at one time 
bookkeepers, clerks, salesmen, teachers, me- 
chanics, or farm hands. They became dissatisfied 
with their earnings, sent for our book, which en- 
couraged them to make the start, and it affords 
us no small amount of pleasure to know that we 
have had something to do with their success. If 
you are tired of being called to your work by the 
whistle, and are earnest in your desire to engage 
in a business thatwill make you independent, and 
are willing to make the start, we are willing to as- 
sist you in making your plans, and will consider it 
a pleasure to aid you to become a successful straw- 
berry grower. 
We recommend strawberry growing to you be- 
cause we assume that you, like ourselves, want 
to get into a business thatwill give you the largest 
possible profits for the money and time invested.
