GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
Copyright 1915 by R. M. Kellogg Co., Three Rivers, Mich. 
POPULAR FOR MORE THAN A QUARTER OF A-CENTURY 
IJAVERLAND ia one of the great mid-season pistillate varieties that has won world-wide popularity amone: strawberry 
growers. After twenty-six years of selection and restriction of this variety we recommend it without hesitation to grow- 
ers everywhere. The Haverland yields a long, large berry, bright crimson on the sun side and shading to a light red on the 
under side. It is full and round at the stem end, gradually tapering to an obtuse point. No other berry of our acquaintance 
presents a more beautiful and tempting appearance when placed upon the market. The foliage is tall, of spreading habit with 
a long leaf. _ Haverland makes strong, large plants which produce large crops under practically all conditions of soil and climate. 
It may be said in truth of this variety that it is a universal favorite. Any mid-season bisexual will perfectly mate with Haverland. 
If you haven't grown Haverland you still have something to try that ia worth while. Grown at both Three Rivers and Twin Falls. 
much interested in the growing of strawberries 
as Mr. Beatty himself. They grow both straw- 
berries and children. Their crop of children con- 
sists of two daughters and one son. Until the 
son was about 18 years old he was somewhat un- 
decided as to whether he would take up engineer- 
ing or architecture, but he has decided that 
strawberry growing is more healthful and more 
profitable than anything he could do in the city, 
and he too has fallen in love with the business and 
has chosen strawberry growing as his life's work. 
It is needless to say that this change of the boy's 
mind has made Mr. Beatty very happy. 
We want every farmer's wife and farmer's boy 
to feel perfectly free to write us and we shall be 
C leased to give them the benefit of our straw- 
erry experience. We will select varieties best 
adapted to your soil and climatic conditions and 
will give all the information necessary to insure 
immediate success. 
Strawberries on the Farm 
pVERY farmer should grow strawberries for 
his family's use at least. No one is better 
equipped to grow strawberries than the farmer 
because he has plenty of land and plenty of ma- 
nure to enrich the land. Strawberries are a 
wonderful help to the housewife in preparing her 
three daily meals because this is the first fruit to 
ripen in the spring and, with the fall-bearing or 
everbearing varieties, is the last fruit to ripen 
in the fall. 
Standard varieties generally begin ripening 
their fruit in May and continue to fruit until early 
in July, and the everbearing varieties begin to 
ripen their fall crop in August and they fruit con- 
tinuously until early in November or until heavy 
freezing weather comes on. We often have 
picked berries from the fall-bearing varieties on 
Thanksgiving Day. Light freezing does not af- 
fect the fruiting of these varieties. 
A small plot of ground set to the standard and 
everbearing varieties will supply a large family 
with all the delicious strawberries they can eat 
the year 'round. From May until November the 
family will be supplied with strawberries picked 
fresh from the vines, and duringthe wintermonths 
they may enjoy jam, preserves and canned ber- 
ries. Fresh strawberries and cream and short- 
cake during the summer and fall months and 
canned berries, preserves and jam during the 
winter is a treat worth while. And the best part 
of it is, a farmer can supply his family with this 
delicious fruit the year 'round at practically no 
cost. 
The wives of many farmers are not only supply- 
ing the family with strawberries throughout the 
year, but they also are making their own spend- 
ing money by selling the surplus berries. Most 
women are independent and like to earn their 
own pin money, and they appreciate self-earned 
money more than money which is given them by 
their husbands. It is, indeed, interesting to read 
the many letters which come to us from farmers' 
wives telling how they supply the family with 
strawberries and how the surplus berries furnish 
them money which they may spend as they please. 
No crop is more easily grown than strawberries 
and nothing adds more beauty, pleasure and profit 
to the home. 
No one who lives on a farm can afford to be 
without strawberries. The strawberry patch un- 
failingly becomes the center of attraction for all 
the members of the family, and nothing else in 
the way of crops will more surely develop the love 
of home in the younger members of the family.
