R. M. KELLOGG'S GREAT CROPS 
bushels per acre affords a large profit, while 
fifty bushels would not pay expenses. This 
difference often hangs on the variety and its 
adaptability alone. 
The following varieties are perfect flowers 
or both Male and Female, and will fruit 
alone without regard to any other variety. 
I have restricted their pollen and offer them 
to planters with the utmost assurance that 
the potency of their "vital dust" cannot be 
equalled. I am not- aware that any other 
grower in the country has practiced this 
method of restriction to increase the po- 
tency of the pollen. 
Wilson Albany is a berry that has 
done more to popularize strawberry grow- 
ing and make it a success than any other 
variety. It may be said to be the pioneer. 
In many localities it has been fruited to 
exhaustion and ceased to be profitable. 
Here it is still an old favorite. Dealers pre- 
fer 10 handle it and many customers de- 
mand it. It requires heavy moist soil or 
land liberally supplied with moisture. It 
has never succeeded on "drouthy" land on 
account of rust of foliage. On land where 
it once succeeded so grandly we invite a 
trial of these plants. Season early to late. 
25c per dozen; 75c per 100; S2.25 per 500; 
and $4.00 per 1,000. 
Parker Earle. This variety has its 
strong and weak points. On strong, rich 
soil well supplied with food and water to 
bring its great crop to maturity it is g:rand 
but in many localities it has failed entirely. 
It sets so heavily it cannot bring its fruit to 
maturity except under the most favorable 
circumstances. It makes very few plants 
until after fruiting heavily when runners 
start freely but, of course, they have then 
lost their value. Season medium. 30c per 
dozen; Si per 100; S3. 25 per 500; and $6 per 
1,000. 
Beder Wood. As a heavy fruiter and 
furnishing pollen of the strongest potency 
for all early varieties it has few, if any, 
equals. Its foliage is vigorous and succeeds 
almost everywhere. Fruit above medium, 
conical, bright color and good. Season 
very early. 25c per dozen; 75c per 100; S2 
per 500; and S375 per 1,000. 
Pearl. A large beautiful berry of de- 
licious flavor. On some soil it rusts some, 
but rarely enough to injure a crop. 25c 
per dozen; 75c per 100; S2.25 per 500; and 
$4 per 1,000. 
Crawford. Large, beautiful and good; 
must have strong, heavy soil. It rarely suc- 
ceeds on light land, and in some localities 
is liable to rust. Season medium late. 30c 
per dozen; Si per 100; $2-75 per 500; and 
S5 per 1,000. 
Dutaancc. One of the most vigorous 
and productive very late berries. The po- 
tency of its pollen for all late varieties is 
high. Berries large, dark color and firm, 
sometimes slightly irregular, but holds the 
market when other varieties have begun to 
run small. It is our main reliance for a 
late berry. 25c per dozen; 75c per 100; 
§2. 25 per 500; and S4 per 1,000. 
Gaudy. The latest of all. While not 
so productive as Enhance it is a few days 
later and closes the season with fine large 
berries which sell at a big price. Big ber- 
ries, firm and good. 25c per dozen; 75c per 
100; $2. 25 per 500; and $4 per 1,000. 
Jessie. On nearly all soils a great suc- 
cess. Its quality is the highest, very large, 
robust foliage, and should not be omitted. 
It fails more often on light sand or low 
ground. It should not be allowed to mat 
too thickly, and for hill culture is immense. 
Season medium. 25c per dozen; 75c per 
100; S2.25 per 500; and S4 per 1,000. 
Michels Early. Its value is in its 
earliness and strength of pollen. In former 
years we urged it as a pollenizer for early 
varieties, but here we decidedly prefer 
Beder Wood or iVIeeks Early, as they are 
only a day or two later and much more pro- 
ductive, and better berries. 25c per dozen; 
60c per 100; S'.75 per 500; and S3 per 1,000. 
Meeks Early. A delightful surprise to 
everybody. Its pollen is strong in potency, 
bright, waxen foliage, never a spot of rust, 
and succeeds everywhere. On any soil 
where other varieties rust, give them a trial. 
Its berries are above medium in size, firm 
and good. Season very early. 25c per 
dozen; 75c per 100; S2.25 per 500; and S4 
per 1,000. 
Dayton . A fine, large, early berry of 
rich flavor. Foliage strong and vigorous 
and fruit of extra quality. A fine garden 
berry. 25c per dozen; 75c per 100; $2.25 
per 500; and $4 per 1,000. 
Mount Vernon, an old standard sort, 
medium size, dark color, and very popular 
in some localities. Season medium late. 
25c per dozen; 75c per 100; $2.25 per 500; 
and S4 per 1,000. 
Oregon Everbearing. A good, me- 
dium early berry, but does not bear in the 
fall or out of season more than several 
other varieties offered. 25c per dozen; 75c 
per 100. 
Van Demau strongly resembles Wil- 
son, very firm, medium size and good 
quality. In many localities very popular. 
Here we prefer Wilson. 30c per dozen; $1 
per 100. 
The Dew. Probably the largest berry 
in the world, but must be grown m hills on 
strong, rich land. It is somewhat irregular 
on many soils, but possesses the richest 
aromatic wild strawberry flavor. Eight 
berries have filled a quart. Season late. 
75c per dozen; S2.50 per 100. 
Smith's Seedlins:, when properly re- 
stricted, is one of the finest grown. Its
