PICKING STRAWBERRIES FROM KELLOGG PEDIGREE PLANTS IN PENNSYLVANIA 
TN a letter which accompanied this photograph the owner of this field, Mr. N. S. Maust, of Pennsylvania says that this 
1 acre of Kellogg Plants yielded an immlnse crop of big red berries in spite of heavy frosts and very dry weather. 
He further advisis us that his success with Kellogg Pedigree Plants makes it to his mterest to contmue usmg^t^^^^ 
In another letter he states that he is safe in saying that never before was such a large crop of fine berries raised m 
his locality as he grew from this acre of Kellogg Pedigree Plants. 
From an Oklahoma customer, writing under date of 
February 15, 1916, comes the following: "Two years ago 
I ordered from you some Kellogg's Prize strawberry 
plants. Last spring was their first year, and I must say 
they were the finest berries I have ever seen. I have 
given your catalogue, which you sent me this year, to a 
neighbor who is going to plant some two acres to straw- 
berries, and in a long talk with him this morning, I con- 
vinced him it would be the best policy to buy his plants 
from you. I have advised a number of my friends to get 
their plants from you, because I paid for my experience 
in ordering plants from another source two years before 
I ordered your plants, and found yours far superior to 
others; in fact, I lost two years' work on the plants I or- 
dered from a party in Missouri." Mont F. Highley. 
A West Virginia customer writes: "I beg to acknow- 
ledge receipt of the strawberry plants ordered from you, 
in the best of condition. I am indeed pleased with such 
sturdy plants and know the best results will be obtained 
with the proper attention. I would be pleased to recom- 
mend your firm to any one in this section if you desire 
to refer them to me." Victor E. Myers. 
Writing us under date of Feb. 21, 1916, Mr. L. H. 
Long of New York state says: "You have some very 
well satisfied customers in this neighborhood. One 
gentleman told me a few days ago that he had purchased 
your plants and also plants from other growers, and that 
your plants were very much the best. I am satisfied 
that your plants are right, and when I am ready to place 
my order for plants you will get the order." 
Under date of Feb. 2, 1916, Alfred Greenwood of Kan- 
sas writes us as follows: "I told a friend what nice 
plants we had from you, and I am sure you will get his 
order for plants. I have bought plants from several 
different firms and none of them are anything like yours. 
Our Progressive plants fruited every day from August 
1st until hard freezing weather the last of October." 
Boys' Strawberry Club 
OUR Boys' Strawberry Club has created so much 
interest and enthusiasm both among the boys 
and girls that in order to keep peace, we have 
been compelled to admit into this club the girls as 
well as the boys, and we must admit here that 
we yielded to the requests of some girls last sea- 
son to enter into this contest. We were very 
much pleased with two letters that came to us 
from Utah one day, both in the same mail— one 
from a boy, and the other from his sister— each 
asking to enter this contest and both determined 
to beat the other. This was one case where we 
yielded to the request, and judging from the let- 
ters we have received, there is no doubt but that 
the girls will make the boys work overtime in or- 
der to keep up with them. In every state the 
battle is on, but as this club was organized only 
last year, it is still too early to report any victo- 
ries. But in our next book, we expect to show 
the older folks what the boys and girls can do. 
In all our experience in the plant busmess, noth- 
ing has given us so much real enjoyment as the 
forming of this club. The letters we receive 
from both boys and girls are so original and so 
full of enthusiasm and determination to win, that 
it makes us wish that we too, were boys again. 
One boy in Wisconsin who was only nine years 
old wrote us that he was going to sell a hog that
