GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
Copyright 1915 by R. M. Kellogg Co., Thiee Rivers. Mich. 
If this is your wish, grow strawberries and your 
highest expectations will be fulfilled. We have 
observed that both men and women engaged in 
many other lines of work soon make a change, 
while those who begin growing strawberries are 
faithful to their choice. 
There is a reason for this, and the reason is that 
folks stay in a business that pays them large 
profits, and the larger the profits, the longer and 
more closely they stick to that business. The 
page in this book headed "Quarts and Dollars" 
will give you some idea of the success and profits 
enjoyed by growers who use the Kellogg plants 
and follow the Kellogg way. 
Women Strawberry Growers 
A NYONE who doubts a woman's ability to grow 
strawberries will have that doubt removed by 
a reading of the letters which come to us from 
women who grow Kellogg strawberries both for 
home use and for market. Some of the most en- 
thusiastic letters which come to our office are 
written by women strawberry growers. There 
is no reason why a woman should not grow straw- 
berries. The work is refined, healthful and de- 
lightful as well as profitable. 
It requires less experience and less work to 
grow strawberries than it does to grow flowers 
or garden vegetables and it has been the experi- 
ence of many women customers that strawberries 
give a greater profit than any other kind of fruit 
or any kind of vegetables. They also find that 
greater profits are derived from strawberries 
than from cows or chickens, to say nothing of the 
difference in the amount of work required to ac- 
complish desired results. 
A great many families are supplied with straw- 
berries through the thoughtf ulness and efforts of 
women. They not only conceive the idea of 
growing strawberries for home use, but they also 
order the plants and do practically all the work 
connected with the growing of the crop. 
It is the women who stand over the hot stoves 
during the long, sultry days of summer preparing 
fruits and vegetables that we may have these 
splendid edibles during the winter. If it were 
not for the goodness of wives and mothers, our 
tablecloths would not be stained very often 
during the winter with jam, jelly, preserves, 
fruit-juices, etc. Neither would our appetites 
be tempted with mango pickles, spiced peaches 
and such things. 
Every boy and girl who has a mother that is 
willing to stand over a red-hot stove in the 
summer preparing good things for winter would 
better appreciate her and give her lots of flowers 
while she lives, as it will be a long time before 
you get another mother that will sacrifice her 
comforts in order to supply your wants and to 
make you happy. The flowers which please a 
good mother most are the flowers which grow 
from a good child's heart. The varieties are 
obedience, love, kindness, appreciation. Such 
flowers as these never lose their fragrance or 
beauty. 
A husband that has a wife who desires to grow 
strawberries should grant her that privilege, and 
if she doesn't want to grow strawberries, he 
should grow them for her. 
All women who are sufficiently interested to 
write us and ask questions will have their 
questions answered entirely without charge. In- 
deed, the pleasure will be ours if we may have 
something to do with her success as a strawberry 
grower, whether she desires to grow berries for 
home use, or pleasure, or profit. 
Herewith are brief extracts from letters from 
a few of our women customers, expressing their 
satisfaction, pleasure or profit they find in grow- 
ing Kellogg Plants in the Kellogg Way : 
Mrs. C. H. Cowles of Wisconsin writes: "We always gret fine 
plants from you, and Oh! such lovely big berries as grow on 
those plants!" 
Mrs. Thos. H. Andrews of H'inois, writing under date of 
August 13, 1915, says: "Having seen some of your fall-bearing: 
strawberries at Mrs. Cassiday's, I wish you would ship me 
one thousand of those plants. I never before saw such nice 
plants." 
Mrs. J. A. Fleming of Michiean writes: "I have your berries 
growing in niy garden — planted them a few years ago. They 
have had very little care, but never have failed to give us all 
we could eat every season." 
Miss Nellie Grider of Kentucky, a young woman who is 
making large success in her work as a strawberry grower. 
MAKING STRAWBERRY PRESERVES 
T^HIS photo-engraving shows Mrs. Frank E. Beatty making 
her famous sun-cured strawberry preserves. Mrs. Beatty 
is the wife of F. E. Beatty, president of the R. M. Kellogg 
Company. When Mr. Beatty began growing strawberries 
twenty-five years ago, Mrs. Beatty had charge of the office 
work, packing, labeling, etc., and she has had much to do 
with his success as a strawberry grower. She still enjoys 
going over the great fields of strawberry plants, and always 
has her own strawberry garden where she can work among 
the plants and pick the berries just as she wants them. Mrs. 
Beatty's 1915 garden is shown on page 6, where you will see 
her with her basket of vegetables which were grown between 
the rows of strawberries, and her "worst half" is cultivating. 
Mrs. Beatty is an expert in preparing strawberries for winter 
use. Her jam, preserves, canned berries and shortcake, have 
become famous. She Is now a member of our Free Service 
Bureau and our lady customers may have the benefit of her 
experience at any time. We are confident that women straw- 
berry growers will profit by the help that Mrs. Beatty will be 
able to give them on all things pertaining to strawberry dainties
