ceive this book. Plants of this variety cost a 
trifle more than plants of an ordinary variety, 
but the quantity and quality of berries produced 
by Kellogg's Premier makes it cheaper at $10.00 
per thousand than plants of any other extra-early 
variety at only $3.00 per thousand. Whether you 
grow strawberries for home use or for market, 
Kellogg's Premier will be your favorite extra- 
early variety. 
Dr. Burrill, the Million Dollar 
Strawberry 
<rCArj 00 may seem like a large sum to pay 
^0\J\J» fQj. (-jjg privilege of introducing a sin- 
gle variety, but when you consider the fact that 
Dr. Burrill is the result of a scientific cross be- 
tween Senator Dunlap and Crescent, and that all 
tne good qualities of these two popular varieties 
are combined into one, $500.00 will seem a very 
reasonable amount, indeed. We have the fullest 
confidence that Dr. Burrill not only will be a uni- 
versal favorite throughout the United States and 
Canada, but that it will be a big money-maker 
for everyone who grows it. 
Almost everyone who has grown strawberries 
has grown Senator Dunlap and knows that it is 
an unusually heavy fruiter; also that it produces 
high quality berries. We certainly know this to 
be true. Last season we had Senator Dunlap 
and Dr. Burrill fruiting side-by-side, and while 
there is a great resemblance both in the fruit and 
plant of these two varieties, there is a vast differ- 
ence in the quality and quantity of the berries 
produced by each, and this difference is in favor 
of Dr. Burrill. The Burrill plants were simply 
red with berries of large size and most delicious 
flavor. 
The plants of this variety are extremely hardy 
and very vigorous. It is an ideal variety to grow 
either in hills or in narrow rows. When restrict- 
ed from making runners, the hills grow to mam- 
moth size and produce a large crop of perfectly 
formed berries into full maturity. Dr. Burrill 
berries are good shippers, splendid keepers, ex- 
cellent canners, and most delicious for table use. 
They are dark red throughout and very juicy. 
Dr. Burrill is a strong bisexual and has a long 
blooming season which makes it one of the best 
varieties for mating purposes. 
This variety has received tributes from leading 
growers of the highest character at horticultural 
gatherings, and has received favorable mention 
in leading horticultural publications. It has had 
a thorough testing in the heavy black soil of Illi- 
nois, in the clay loam of Ohio, and in the sandy 
loam of Michigan, and in each of these three soils, 
and under greatly dissimilar weather conditions, 
it has more than made good. Dr. Burrill has so 
many qualities superior to other varieties of its 
season, and is so perfectly adapted to all soils and 
climatic conditions, that we recommend it to you 
with the full assurance that it will prove to be 
fully as good or better than we claim. 
Dr. J. R. Reasoner of Urbana, Illinois, a plant 
breeder of wide reputation originated both Sena- 
tor Dunlapand Dr. Burrill, and it required 25 years 
of diligent work in crossing diffei'ent varieties to 
develop these two wonderful productions. Dr. 
Reasoner is a very conservative and conscientious 
man, and while he admits that Senator Dunlap is 
an excellent variety, he agrees with us that Dr. 
Burrill is superior in every respect. While we 
have a rather large crop of Dr. Burrill plants 
this Season, we are confident that there will be 
such a great demand for them that it will be 
greatly to your profit to place your order just as 
early as possible to insure your securing a share 
of this most valuable variety. 
Our Magic Gem 
lyi AGIC GEM is a very strong, vigorous grower. 
■'• Its leaves are exceptionally large, very dark 
green, and the leaf tisues are very tough, which 
makes it more resistant to insects and plant dis- 
eases than are most varieties. Magic Gem is a 
prolific fruiter, its berries are extra large, very 
dark red, inset with bright yellow seeds, perfectly 
formed and beautiful in every respect. In plant 
growth, productiveness, and quality of fruit, this 
variety is truly a Magic Gem. The fact that 
Magic Gem gives such wonderful results in the 
West where it has been thoroughly tested, and 
also here in Michigan, where soil and climatic 
conditions are entirely different from those of the 
West, is conclusive evidence that it is sure to be 
a big money-maker in all soils and under all cli- 
matic conditions. 
The Gem blossoms profusely and the blossoms 
are very large and contain an abundance of pollen, 
which makes it an ideal poUenizer for late varie- 
ties. In view of the fact that heretofore Brandy- 
wine has been one of the favorite late varieties 
in the West, we have made numerous comparisons 
between Magic Gem and Brandywine, and each 
season Magic Gem has been far superior in every 
respect. Here in Michigan, its yield more than 
doubles the yield of Brandywine. 
All growers know that the size, color, flavor 
and quantity of berries a variety produces, deter- 
mine the profits made from that variety. We are 
confident that Magic Gem will make a profit that 
will satisfy any grower, and for the home garden, 
it is ideal in every respect. There was an enor- 
mous demand for Magic Gem plants last season, 
and this year, owing to the fact that it is so much 
better known, there will be a much greater de- 
mand. For this reason those who desire plants of 
this variety should send us their orders as early 
as possible. 
Kellogg's Prize, the Late Berry 
Without a Fault 
AAT'HEN we first introduced Kellogg's Prize in 
1913, we said it was a wonderful late variety, 
but since our customers in all sections of the 
country have had an opportunity io test this va- 
riety, they say it is simply magnificent, and it 
has won its own title, "the late berry without a 
fault". Since its introduction, we have sold over 
two million plants of this variety, and up to the 
present time have not received a single bad re- 
port, buthave received many thousands of reports 
from our customers saying it is the best late va- 
riety they ever have known. Kellogg's Prize is 
unquestionably the heaviest fruiting late variety 
ever originated with the single exception of Kel- 
logg's Big Late, which fully equals Kellogg's 
Prize in productiveness. The berries of Kellogg's 
Prize are not only borne in great quantities but 
are very large and most beautiful, and their qual- 
ity is ideal in every respect. It has no prefer-
