KELLOGG'S New Race of trade-marked varieties which are described 
here and which we are offering to our customers for the first time, differ 
from any other varieties ever originated and promise to become universal 
favorites as soon as the public learns of their many excellent qualities. The 
color, flavor and texture of these berries are so entirely different and original 
that they are sure to be in great demand by the consumer. To give a complete 
report of the breeding and pedigree of these varieties would require a large 
volume. 
It has required years of time and considerable expense to secure this new 
race of strawberries, and at the low prices quoted for these plants, you can well 
afford to give them a liberal trial. 
As this is the first year we have offered these varieties to our customers, 
we have only a small stock of these plants, and those who wish plants of these 
varieties should send us their order at once.

?Bedarena is a composite type of berry 
preserving certain characteristics of the Beach 
strawberry combined with the most desirable 
of the ordinary type of strawberry. It is a 
cross between Bederwood and Point Arena 
Beach varieties, and the name, Bedarena, 
is a coined word made up of letters taken from 
the names of its parents. Bedarena ripens in 
mid-season and is very productive of medium- 
large, round berries which are red as a ruby 
and finished like a jewel. It has a flavor that 
is distinctly its own and differs from all other 
strawberries. It is strictly a high-class berry, 
firm enough for shipment and so beautiful 
and delicious that it commands its own price 
on any market. Bedarena can be mated 
with any mid-season bisexual, and when pro- 
perly fertilized, every blossom develops a 
perfect berry. As the berries ripen, they 
gradually fill with sugar and when allowed to 
remain on the vines until perfectly ripe, are 
converted into a delicious, sugary confection. 
The foliage is glossy and leathery, plant is a 
deep-rooter, resists heat and thrives on poor 
sandy soil where ordinary strawberries fail.

Rumark is such a grand variety that we 
have coined its name from Russell Marion 
Kellogg, the founder of R. M. Kellogg Com- 
pany. It is a late bisexual, grows tall and 
compact, and fruits with Chesapeake but is 
several times more productive and the berries 
are almost as large and of better flavor and 
higher quality. The plants are extremely 
hardy which cannot be said of Chesapeake. 
This explains why we have substituted this 
new race variety for Chesapeake. Rumark 
berries are dark-red, firm and good shippers, 
and the many other good qualities combined 
in this variety make it one of the very best. 
We feel confident that it will prove a big
