GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
Copyright 1915 by R. M. Kellogg Co.. Three Rivers. Mich 
OUR FAMOUS PRIDE OF MICHIGAN 
OINCE its origination on our farms at Three Rivers and its introduction by us in 1905 the Pride of Michigan has been recog- 
^ nized as one of the greatest of the late varieties and reports received from a countless number of customers who have grown 
this variety for years place it among the most popular of the late varieties. In size the berries are very large and the immense 
plants of this variety produce immense quantities of fancy berries. The fruit lies in windrows and the heavy dense foliage 
spreads out wide enough to shade them. The meat is firm, exceedingly rich, solid in texture and very smooth, and in flavor the 
fruit is delicious. It ranks high among the late varieties as a shipper. It has a long blooming season and is valuable as a mate 
for pistillate varieties. Pride of Michig-an steadily grows in popularity. Grown at Three Rivers and Twin Falls farms. 
Great Crops of Strawberries and How to Grow Them 
IT is the serious purpose of this company to so 
help and instruct its customers as to insure 
complete success in the work of growing straw- 
berries. All over the United States, in every 
province of Canada, in many of the European 
countries and even at so great a distance as far- 
away Australia, our customers tell us that under 
the Kellogg Way of growing strawberries they 
have attained large success and in many instances 
have made their work in strawberries the basis 
for great fortunes. For thirty-two years we have 
specialized in the work of producing the highest- 
grade strawberry plants grown anywhere in the 
world, and the best testimony to our success in 
that direction is shown by the results secured by 
our customers in practically all parts of the 
world. , 
A very important feature of our work is the 
advice and instruction we give to those who are 
unfamiliar with the work, and for that purpose 
we have established what we call our Free Ser- 
vice Department, which always is at the service 
of our customers. We shall here give specific 
instructions covering practically the entire work 
of strawberry production, but we realize that 
many circumstances may arise that require spe- 
cial and individual treatment, and we invite every 
customer who feels the need of such instruction 
to write us fully and freely and to permit us to 
help him to win the success which always is possi- 
ble where Kellogg plants are grown. 
Therefore, if in the line of your work in the 
strawberry field you come to a point where you 
believe we can help you, you are to feel entirely 
free to write us, asking such questions as the par- 
ticular circumstances may require. In writing us, 
however, make each question you desire ans- 
wered clear and distinct, numbering each ques- 
tion, so that we may have placed before us in very 
clear form the special problems you wish to have 
solved. 
The First Step to Success 
'T'HE Good Book tells us that we cannot grow 
figs from thistles. Neither can we grow large 
crops of fine fruit from poor plants. This must 
be perfectly plain to everyone who will stop to 
think about it. Therefore, the first thing for you 
to do, if you would win complete success as a 
strawberry grower, is to secure the best plants 
it is possible to buy — the best plants always are 
the cheapest plants. The diflrerence of a dollar or 
two in the cost of the plants amounts to nothing 
as compared with the results to be had from the 
best plants. Do not forget that the cost of grow- 
ing an acre of strawberries is practically the same 
whether you grow two thousand quarts or fifteen 
thousand quarts to the acre. The preparation of 
the soil and the cultivation of the plants is just 
the same in either instance. Therefore, no one 
can afford to fool away his time in growing any- 
thing but the best. Anyone who has ever grown 
the Kellogg plants and given them proper treat- 
ment will agree that the Kellogg plants are the 
best plants grown anywhere in the world. There- 
fore, if you would secure the very largest results
