In the production of Kellogg Pedigree Plants, every detail no matter how small or 
seemingly unimportant receives the same careful attention; nothing is neglected or over- 
looked. They are grown under the most ideal conditions, in soil and climate especially pre- 
pared and adapted to the highest development of all desirable qualities. Our mechanical 
equipment and cultural methods are the most modern and scientific. Our methods of plant 
selection and restriction are in perfect harmony with the laws of Nature. 
It isn't the amount originally paid for plants which determines whether they are 
an investment or an expense. Plants which at fruiting time respond with a big crop of high- 
quality berries, represent a profitable investment. On the contrary, non-productive plants 
are an expense at any price as they are in reality dearly paid for in loss of time, fertilizer and 
use of ground, to say nothing of the eventual disappointment which they are bound to bring. 
We fully realize that a customer's endorsement is the most convincing evidence of 
merit and we are entirely willing that Kellogg Pedigree Plants should be judged by what our 
customers say regarding them. Below and elsewhere in this book, we have -reproduced 
letters and extracts from letters in which our customers express their regard for these plants. 
Although space permits us to give only a very few of these letters, the thousands we have 
received would fill a volume of many pages. 
"I am thinking of planting an acre to strawberries in the spring and will set none but Kellogg Pedigree Plants 
as they have given me such wonderful satisfaction in the past." K. W. Herman, New York. 
"My quarter-acre of Kellogg strawberries produced $600 last year. This is at the rate of $2,400 per acre 
and I do not consider it bad for a starter. I follow the hill system exclusively and do not raise any plants for my 
own setting but send to headquarters, (R. M. Kellogg Company), for them. I also refer all inquiries for plants to 
you." J. A. Bickerdikb, Oregon. 
"Words cannot describe the delicious strawberries our Kellogg Pedigree Plants have produced. We sold 
during one season $120 worth of berries from only one-twelfth of an acre and besides canned about 60 quarts and 
served them fresh from the vines three times a day for two weeks. I intend sending you my order for ten or twelve 
thousand more Kellogg Pedigree Plants in December or January, to be shipped next spring." 
Thos. Soatkamp, Illinois. 
"We picked over $100 worth of berries last summer from only 275 Kellogg Pedigree Plants. We intend to 
set more Kellogg plants next spring." L. C. Evans, Colorado. 
"Kellogg Pedigree Plants have done wonders for us. All who see our patch say they never have seen its 
equal. We tell everyone who wants plants to send to R. M. Kellogg Company and they will get just what they 
order. Please send us your new catalog and price-list as we want to get our order in by the first of the year." 
Mrs. H. R. Hobson, Oklahoma. 
"We have set Kellogg Pedigree Plants for the past twelve years and the stock has been excellent. The 
plants have been free from disease, thrifty and large producers of excellent berries, and we cheerfully recommend 
Kellogg Pedigree Plants to those who desire to grow strawberries." Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Co., Michigan. 
Kellogg Pedigree Plants grown the Kellogg Way and backed by Kellogg's Free Service

likewise mean your success.
