GREAT COTSy^STRAWBERRIES«"dHOW TO GROW THEM 
The Difference Between Standard and 
Everbearing Varieties 
THE STANDARD VARIETIES fruit only in the spring and early sum- 
mer and plants of the standard varieties should not be allowed to fruit the same 
season they are set. That is to say, plants of the standard varieties which are 
set this sprmg should not be permitted to fruit until the following spring 
THE EVERBEARING VARIETIES which are set this spring will fruit 
heavily durmg the coming fall, and the second year, will fruit from June to 
November, with the exception of a short rest period during July 
PEERLESS, PROGRESSIVE and SUPERB are the three choicest ever- 
bearers and are the only everbearing varieties we are growing this year All 
other varieties listed in this book except Peerless, Progressive and Smerh are 
standard varieties. We make this explanation so that you will not confuse the 
standard vaneties with the everbearers when making out your order. 
You will find prices of Kellogg's Everbearers on page 29, column 4 and 
prices of standard varieties on page 29, columns 1, 2 and 3. 
Kellogg Strawberries Enrich 
the Blood 
Strawberries not only are the most deli- 
■cious and most profitable fruit that grows, 
but they also are the most healthful of all 
fruits. Nothing equals strawberries in cases 
of impoverished blood and lowered vitality. 
They contain more organic iron and other 
-elements necessary for blood building than 
any other fruit, and as these elements are in 
organic form, they are readily assimilated by 
the human system. Is it not more desirable 
to supply these elements through delicious 
strawberries rather than injurious drugs? 
By enriching the blood and increasing 
vitality, strawberries also strengthen the

Gentlemen: 
Your farm deserves great credit for the 
numerous improvements you have made in 
strawberry production. 
I regard the strawberry as one of our 
most valuable and most excellent fruits. 
They contain a larger percentage of iron 
than most fruits and are on this account, 
excellent in cases in which the blood is 
impoverished. 
Sincerely yours,

A Kellogg Strawberry Garden will make you well, keep 
you well and give you, a big cash profit besides. 
nerves, therefore are a splendid nerve tonic. 
To prove the value of strawberries as a 
healthful food, we present here a letter from 
Dr. J. H. Kellogg, Supt. of one of the coun- 
try's leading health sanitariums. Dr. Kellogg 
is in no way related to us or connected with 
our Company. We give his report because 
he is one of America's leading physicians and 
authorities on food values, and the thou- 
sands of cures effected at his sanitarium prove 
the value of proper foods for the human 
system. 
Strawberry Prices 
A few years ago, strawberries sold at only 
8 to 10 cents per quart, but of late years, 
have been in great demand at prices ranging 
from 15 to 25 cents per quart, and indications 
are that the prices will be still higher this 
year. This means a much greater profit for 
Kellogg customers because the slight increase 
m the cost of Kellogg Pedigree Plants is not 
to be compared with the increased prices our 
customers realize from their berries. 
The present high cost of strawberries 
makes it more important than ever for all who 
can to grow their own strawberries, and it 
also should encourage those who grow berries 
for market to increase their planting. 
A few dollars invested in Kellogg Pedigree 
Plants this year is sure to prove a highly 
profitable investment. 
Mating Varieties 
There are two sexes in strawberry varie- 
ties; male or bisexual, and female or pistillate, 
and it is necessary to set male varieties with 
female varieties in order to fertilize the female 
blossoms. When making out your order, 
please bear in mind that Warfield, Haverland, 
Bedarena, Kellogg's Prize and Kellogg's Big 
Late are female or pistillate, and if any of 
these varieties are included in your order, 
don't fail to order male or bisexual varieties 
of the same season to fertilize them.
