A KELLOGG STRAWBERRY FIELD OWNED BY CAL HYDE OF MISSOURI 
lyiR. HYDE sent us this kodak picture of his field of Kellogg Pedigree Plants, and in a letter which accompanied 
■I- 1 the picture says: "This picture will show what can be done with Kellogg Plants grown here in Missouri." The 
photograph shows a perfect stand of plants and most splendid cultural methods. Even if you live in Missouri and 
must be shown, Kellogg Plants grown the Kellogg Way will "show you." 
ned berries, jam, preserves, and jelly, through- 
out the winter. There is no reason why every 
family should not grow their own strawberries, 
as a small plot in the back yard will supply a large 
family with this most delicious fruit the year 
'round, and without cost. We often have seen 
strawberries growing in shady places that would 
be practically worthless for any other crop. 
The soil is prepared just the same for straw- 
berries as it is for common garden vegetables, 
and the plants are set in the same manner as to- 
mato, cabbage, or any other vegetable plant. 
Strawberries are very hardy and will thrive and 
produce an abundant crop, even though the plants 
are neglected; but the better care the plants re- 
ceive, the greater will be the crop. If you have 
but a small garden plot and wish to grow both 
vegetables and strawberries, vegetables may be 
grown between the rows of strawberry plants 
very successfully. We have conducted numerous 
experiments along this line and know that both 
may be grown on the same ground at the same 
time, and an abundant crop of each realized. It's 
a treat worth while to be able to go out into the 
garden almost any day throughout the summer 
and fall months and pick strawberries fresh for 
the table or to put away for winter, and when 
company comes in unexpectedly, you will appreci- 
ate your strawberry garden more than ever. 
Here in Three Rivers and in nearby towns, 
strawberry gardens are as common as vegetable 
gardens, and those who do not have room for 
both, either give strawberries the preference, or 
grow both together as suggested here. The only 
ones who can offer a reasonable excuse for not 
growing strawberries are those who live in flats. 
Our customers who grow strawberries for home 
use only tell us that they would not give up their 
strawberry gardens any more than they would 
discontinue growing vegetables and flowers, and 
many of them write that the surplus berries from 
their gardens pay for the plants and all expenses, 
and leave them a nice profit besides. 
W. M. Goodsell, of Indiana, picked in 1915, 250 
quarts from 200 Kellogg Pedigree Plants set in 
1914. 
N. O. Atwater of Illinois, picked 800 quarts 
from 600 Kellogg plants, with excellent pros- 
pects for an abundant fall crop from his ever- 
bearing plants. 
W. R. Randall of Illinois, sold $67.85 worth of 
berries from 500 Kellogg everbearing plants, be- 
side supplying his family with all the berries they 
could use. 
C. B. Ashton of Tennessee, gathered 172 quarts 
from 100 Kellogg plants. 
Others say that a little time spent in their 
strawberry garden in the early morning and eve- 
ning, affords them much pleasure and is very 
beneficial to their health. 
Nothing adds more to the beauty and pleasure 
of the home grounds than a well-kept strawberry 
garden. When it is loaded with blossoms, it is a 
beautiful sight, and when loaded with big red 
berries, it is still more beautiful and is also ex- 
ceedingly profitable. The strawberry is unques- 
tionably the king of all fruits, and if there is any- 
thing more delicious it is something we never have 
tasted. It is really a shame for anyone who has 
a plot of ground to deprive the children, or any 
member of the family, of this best-of-all fruit 
when it is so easily grown. We never have heard 
of anybody becoming tired of strawberries. They 
may be served three meals a day and eaten be- 
tween meals. The everbearers make it possible 
for you to have fresh strawberry shortcake on 
Thanksgiving Day. One customer from Ohio 
wrote us that she picked ripe strawberries from 
her patch of Kellogg Everbearers the third day 
of last December, and one North Carolina patron
