A KELLOGG STRAWBERRY GARDEN AT FRUITING TIME 
THIS photo-engraving shows a Kellogg strawberry garden on the home grounds of W. H. Burke. Mr. Burke is 
Secretary and Treasurer of the R. M. Kellogg Company. In his strawberry garden, the same cultural methods 
which we recommend to our customers are carefully followed. This insures his family delicious strawberries picked 
fresh from the vines from June to November, and a big profit besides. If you set the Kellogg Pedigree Plants and 
follow the Kellogg Way, there is no reason why you should not have a strawberry garden as beautiful and as profit- 
able as the one shown here. 
In the case of the standard varieties, all blos- 
soms should be removed the season the plants 
are set, and they should not be allowed to fruit 
until the following season. With everbearers, 
however, the blossoms should be removed only 
until the middle of June or first of July the season 
the plants are set, after which time they may 
be allowed to fruit without any injury whatever 
to the plants. This gives you benies the same 
season plants are set. The everbearers begin to 
fruit early in August the first season, and con- 
tinue to fruit heavily until freezing weather. 
The following season, they will give you a con- 
tinuous crop from early June until November, 
with the exception of a short period of rest dur- 
ing part of July. 
Growers who have plenty of stable manure at 
their command will find it profitable to apply ad- 
ditional manure between the rows after plants 
are set. This may be done any time during the 
growing season, but the best time is during the 
latter part of June or in July. Pulverized ma- 
nure is ideal for summer application, using at the 
rate of from one-half ton to one ton to the acre. 
Cultivation should begin as soon as possible after 
plants are set, and should be repeated every week 
or ten days whenever soil conditions will permit. 
Each cultivation adds many quarts to your crop, 
which means more dollars of profit. It goes 
without saying that plants should be mulched in 
order to keep the fruit clean, and for the purpose 
of retaining moisture during the fruiting season. 
It is not absolutely necessary, however, to mulch 
the everbearing plants the season they are set, 
as the berries are produced beneath the foliage, 
which keeps them clean enough for market. For 
the second crop, the everbearers should be mulch- 
ed the same as the standard varieties. Mulching 
should be applied between the rows only, as it 
will naturally work under the plants to a certain 
extent, and the foliage will keep the berries in 
the rows clean. 
Whether you grow berries for the market or 
for home use, if you will try our method, you will 
be delighted with the results, as we are confident 
you will have no trouble whatever in doubling 
your crop; and commercial growers cannot help 
but agree with us that it is an easy matter to 
make one acre do the work of two. 
It is a waste of land and time to plow, plant.
