R. M. KELLOGG'S GREAT CROPS 
The Home of the Epping Strawberry. 
□ The Ki»pin}r (p). Among the new var- 
ieties which have come to stay is the 
Epping. I saw it first at the Michigan ex- 
periment station, where there were being 
tested side by side over 200 varieties. 
After lool<ing them all over I asked the 
professor, who had been watching them 
closely throughout the fruiting season, which 
variety impressed him the most favorably 
and he promptly named the Epping. I now 
concede the correctness of his opinion, and 
now looking over all my own plats and 
searching for the "leader," the one showing 
the most points of excellence, I quickly 
come to this berry. Its foliage is large, 
healthy and free from spot or rust. It roots 
very deeply, and stands drouth remarkably 
well and possesses the ability to bring its 
great loads of berries to the highest per- 
fection, the last berry being nearly as large 
as the first. Its fruit is very large and reg- 
ular, bright red, rich flavor and firm. 
Wherever growers see the fruit they will 
beg for plants and I cannot help urging my 
friends to test it. No failures are reported 
anywhere. It has a long season, being early 
to ripen and continuing until the last. Price, 
50c per dozen; $2.50 per 100; $7 per 500; 
and Si 2 per 1,000. 
Oreenville (p). Another berry of great 
value. Splendid foliage; free from spot or 
rust, when heavy freezing began its foliage 
was as bright as in July. It is very pro- 
ductive and we shall set of it very largely, 
especially for hill culture. I have heard of 
no failures. 40c per dozen; $1.25 per 100; 
S3.50 per 500; and $6 per 1,000. 
Timbrell (p). This is a competitor for 
the place held by Bubach and is probably 
the most discussed berry recently intro- 
duced. It certainly has great merit and 
will take a high rank. Endorsements have 
been warm and general. Here it is a fa- 
vorite and we urge all growers to test it. It 
is large size, very productive and symmetri- 
cal, bright color and one of the berries that 
captures the market. Season late. 50c per 
dozen; S3 per ico; $6 per 500; and gio per 
1,000. 
Eureka (p). The beautiful Eureka is a 
fine large berry moderately firm, good 
quality and very productive. Foliage 
healthy, vigorous and desirable. Season 
medium late. 25c per dozen; 8oc per 100; 
$2.25 per 500; and $4 per 1,000. 
Middlefield (p). One of the most 
beautiful berries, good size, regular as a top, 
on strong, rich ground very productive, color 
bright red, firm and good. Season medium 
late. 30C per dozen; $1 per 100; S2.75 per 
500; and $5 per 1,000. 
Bubach (p). The old reliable big show 
berry. On good, strong, rich land very pro- 
ductive. Berries very large, bright color 
and good. Takes the market by storm
