Cheery Letters From Satisfied Customers 
ARKANSAS. After passing through the driest and hot- 
test summer we have had here for many years, my strawber- 
ries are as fine as can be. I have practically a perfect stand 
and they were about the only strawberries that lived through 
the torrid summer, and everybody is wondering how I kept 
my berries living. I attribute my success altogether to your 
valuable advice and my ambition to do things right. John C. 
Dickerson. 
CALIFORNIA. The strawberry plants -were received in 
excellent condition. They kept right on growing in the mail, 
even to blossoming. Your method of packing for shipment is 
certainly A No. 1. W. A. Adams. 
COLORADO. We know R. M. Kellogg Co. can be depended 
upon for good plants and square dealing. Mrs. E. Cochran. 
CONNECTICUT. The shipment of strawberry plants ar- 
rived in splendid condition and they appear to be all growing 
finely. I was very much pleased with the plants I got from 
you last fall. After picking off all the blossoms on the ever- 
bearers until June, I had berries until the frost took them. 
Edward A. Rice. 
DELAWARE. Thank you very much for such nice plants 
which arrived in good condition. I don't think I shall lose one 
of them, they are so strong and healthy. 
You will hear from me again. William 
A. Schellenger. 
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. The 
strawberry plants you sent me arrived 
in prime condition, and I am very 
much pleased with them. The ever- 
bearing plants, sent me less than two 
weeks ago, are most all in blossom, and 
I am certainly pleased with the pros- 
pects. W. G. Miller. 
FLORIDA. I never saw better 
plants than those you sent me two 
years ago. J. L. Ginn. 
GEORGIA. The plants you shipped 
me came through all right. Many 
thanks. They are large, nice, healthy- 
looking plants. G. F. Lee. 
ILLINOIS. Shipment of Superb 
plants arrived in good condition and 
are now growing. I found them very 
nice plants with splendid root systems. 
S. D. Carlton. 
INDIANA. Two years ago we got 
plants of you for early spring planting 
and have had excellent results, al- 
though the seasons were against us. 
We never have had anything but Kel- 
logg berries, and we can send you any 
number of references that we have the 
finest berries that go into the Conners- 
ville market. J. T. Simpson. 
IOWA. I have been raising Kellogg 
berries for a number of years for fam- 
ily use. Last year and the year before 
('13 and '14) a bed of 60 plants gave us 
86 quarts each year. The fruiting 
season was a little over five weeks. I 
am thoroughly convinced that it pays 
well to use only thoroughbred plants, 
for I have tried others before I began to use Kellogg' s. R. H. 
Lambertson. 
KANSAS. ■ The Kellogg plants for me. Everybody says they 
never before saw plants as full of bloom as mine. J. F. Ellrod. 
KENTUCKY. Plants received in perfect condition. lam

warded by mail arrived yesterday in fine condition. Many

to hand. The plants are in the ground and in spite of the 
severe drouth every plant is growing nicely. W. F. Prettyman. 
MASSACHUSETTS. The strawberry plants that you 
shipped me in April came in fine condition. It was very dry 
when the plants were put out and it did not rain for two 
weeks. Every plant has lived and made a fine growth. I am 
very much pleased with these strawberry plants and when in 
need of more will send the order to you. R. B. Piper. 
MICHIGAN. I received strawberry plants by parcel post 
in fine shape. Have planted them and they are looking good 
in spite of the very cold weather up hero. Am much obliged 
for your kindness and prompt attention. A. P. Hamby. 
MINNESOTA. The plants I got from you last spring were 
the finest ever and the very best I ever have seen. I also had 
plants from another well-known firm, but it will be nothing 
but Kellogg plants for me from now on. E. B. Fay. 
NATURALLY, people de- 
sire to know whether our 
plants will do well in their 
particular locality, and while 
we cannot make room for 
even a small fraction of the 
fine and cordial letters we 
receive from customers, and 
can take only a few words 
from their friendly commun- 
ications, we seek to cover the 
field in such a way as to in- 
form intending purchasers of 
the actual situation. With 
this point in view, we take 
pleasure in giving extracts 
from letters covering many 
states and some of the prov- 
inces of Canada. Original 
letters from which extracts 
are made are kept on file for 
one year, and address of writ- 
er will be given upon request.

them set out and so far have not lost a plant. They are look-

me is doing finely. They are the best plants that I ever have

NEW JERSEY. Strawberry plants arrived safely. They 
were evidently packed with greatest care. F. E. Taylor.

it. Chas. Olmstead.

to know I have just harvested 160 crates
