GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
Copyright 1915 by R. M. KeUogfi Co.-, Three Rivers, Mich. 
AN ACRE OF KELLOGG PLANTS THAT YIELDED $977.50 
'THIS illustration is from a photograph of the acre field of Dr. L. G. Hemenway of Illinois, who says in his letter accompany- 
ing the photograph: I claim that this acre strawberry field of Kellogg plants bore the largest crop of berries ever grown in 
this region -8,500 quarts of fine hemes. The varieties were Senator Dunlap. Kellogg's Prize. Warfield, Enormous and Ozark. 
The picking season lasted forty-two days, and I sold them from 2 cents to 3 cents a quart higher than any of my competitors, 
mine being the only Kellogg berries grown in this locality. I received an average of ll'/a cents a quart." Quality always counts 
family a place to live, but it also furnishes them 
with many of the necessaries of life, and makes it 
possible for you to give them luxuries vi^hich you 
never could give while renting. Then, too, there 
is a source of pride in owning a home of your own. 
Your employer hires you for the purpose of mak- 
ing a profit from your services. Why not make 
that profit yourself? 
Strawberries always have been a profitable 
crop, and today strawberry growing offers a 
greater opportunity than ever before. The auto- 
mobile affords an easy means of travel that did 
not exist a few years ago. The city folks who 
own automobiles and have no place to grow their 
own berries, will drive fifteen or twenty miles in 
order to get strawberries picked fresh from the 
vines. Make your little farm so attractive that 
it will bring them to you for berries. Mail a neat 
little circular, describing your farm and berries 
to the owners of automobiles and you will be sur- 
prised at the number who will take advantage of 
this opportunity to get strawberries which are 
fully ripe and freshly picked. The news soon 
will spread and your farm will become famous for 
many miles around. We are confident that by 
this method of advertising you will be able to 
bring a sufficient number of buyers right to your 
farm to consume a big crop of berries, and if you 
will grow berries of high quality and pack them 
attractively in neat, clean boxes, you will get a 
much better price than you can get in any other 
way. A little advertisement in the daily papers 
of your nearby towns and cities also would in- 
crease your trade. Someone in your locality is 
going to take advantage of this splendid oppor- 
tunity to get a productive home. Let us help you 
to be the one. Possibly, your wife would like to 
join you in this enter{)rise. She could serve 
shortcake and strawberries and cream, and take 
orders for jam, preserves, and canned berries for 
winter use, which she could prepare from the 
smaller berries. In this way the second-grade 
berries could be disposed of at a price equal to 
that obtained for the fancy berries. One of 
America's largest pickle and preserve factories 
was started in just this way. In starting an 
enterprise of this kind, you take no chances. 
The city folks want strawberries and they are 
willing to pay a good price for freshly-picked 
berries of high quality. Our Service Department 
will be glad to co-operate with you in every way. 
We will help you in the selection and mating of 
varieties, and everything pertaining to the cul- 
tural methods which you should employ to get the 
largest and quickest results, and we also will 
assist you in getting up your circulars and adver- 
tising matter.
