R.M. KELLOGG COMPANY. THREE RIVERS, MICH. 
ter. It grows generous crops, and never have we known 
anyone who did not enjoy its rich and delicious flavor. 
The berries are very large and belong distinctly in the 
fancy class. Grown only on our Three Rivers farm. 
Candy (B) Male 
LATE. Bisexual. Gandy was one of the varieties 
which was adopted by R. M. Kellogg at the beginning 
of his great work and was offered by him to the trade 
in his first list. That we are still growing this splendid 
variety from scions of the original stock is certainly a 
tribute to its high value. Gandy has many special 
qualities— it is one of the latest of all berries; it gives its 
largest yields in heavy clay soil; it is one of the best 
shippers ever originated— three points of excellence 
which have made it a universal favorite. The early 
bloom of Gandy being deficient in pollen we advise you 
against using it as a fertilizer for pistillate varieties. 
Grown only on our Three Rivers farm. 
Marshall (B) Male 
LATE. Bisexual. Marshall is one of the blood-red va- 
rieties that always attracts the eye, and its delicious 
qualities perfectly satisfy the taste. It has held a place , 
of honor on our list for twenty-three years and never has 
failed to give complete satisfaction to high -class trade. 
Throughout New England this variety has won more 
first prizes than any other single variety, and it also en- 
joys wide popularity in the Middle and Western states, 
and in California and Oregon it is grown very extensive- 
ly. GrowTi on both our Three Rivers and Twin Falls 
farms. 
Americus (B) Male 
EVERBEARING. Bisexual. After several years of 
growing this variety we can without hesitation recom- 
mend it to the Coast regions, both Atlantic and Pacific. 
It already enjoys a very great popularity throughout the 
New England states and in California, Oregon and 
Washington. This also is true of many of the Mississippi 
Valley states, as Illinois, Iowa and Indiana. It is a 
heavy fruiter of fairly large berries of delicious flavor. 
Grown at both Three Rivers and Twin Falls farms. 
The Progressive in California 
ONE of our California customers, Mr. Harry Spear, 
writes us under date of August 7, 1916, concerning 
his experience with that wonderful everbearing variety. 
Progressive. Mr. Spear says: 
"I feel it my duty to let you know how I like the Pro- 
gressive strawberry that I purchased from you last 
spring. I kept the blossoms and runners off till June, 
and up to this date have picked more than seventy 
quarts from the 100 plants, and they are now just a solid 
mass of blossoms and berries. I never saw anything like 
it. And I am doing something that I never before be- 
lieved possible— I am gathering fruit from the runner 
plants that were produced by the mother plants set this 
spring! In one word, I cannot find language with which 
to express my admiration for this wonderful everbear- 
ing variety." 
That Mr. Spear's experience is like that of thousands 
of others our letter-files amply testify. That Progressive 
is the great home berry and home-market berry of the 
everbearing varieties there is no question, and experi- 
ences like Mr. Spear's only confirm what we have always 
claimed for this variety. 
Strawberry Plants Do Not Mix 
WE frequently are asked if everbearing plants and 
standard varieties may be set in the same plot of 
ground. Let us say in answer to this inquiry that straw- 
berry plants do not mix. In one word, you may set out 
one hundred different varieties in one hundred square 
feet and there will never be any mixing of the plants 
themselves. The only mixing that will occur will be the 
mixing of pollen in the seed which does not affect either 
the fruit or the plant. Therefore strawberry growers 
may arrange their different varieties as they may wish 
without any regard to the question of mixing of varieties. 
IN a note received from J. W. Birch of Pennsylvania, 
he says: "lam pleased with the Pearl strawberries that 
I bought of you. They are hard to beat for size, 
quantity of yield, and quality of flavor. They are simply 
immense. I note that your price was $5.00 per thousand 
while the catalogs of other growers list them at from 
$25.00 to $30.00 per thousand." Pearl is one of the best 
late bisexuals ever originated. 
JR. WALLACE of Michigan June 26, 1916 writes us 
• as follows: "We sent to you for strawberry plants in 
the spring of 1915— Superb, Glen Mary, Wm. Belt, War- 
field and Heritage, making five rows between fifty and 
sixty feet long. The Superb had berries on them all 
through the autumn and now (June 26. 1916) are a sight 
to behold. The others are the finest we ever raised." 
Kellogg's All-Metal One-Piece Dibble 
THIS is our one-piece Dibble— no rivets to come loose 
or handle to break off. It is made from the very best 
grade of steel, with polished blade and Japanned handle, 
which is simply a curve in the same piece from which 
the blade is made. It does not tire the hand and is in 
every way superior to any other dibble ever put upon 
the market. The price of this dibble is 35c for one or 
$1.00 for three Dibbles. For setting strawberry plants 
and vegetables it has no equal. Carried at both our 
Three Rivers, Mich, and Twin Falls, Idaho, farms. Dib- 
bles are now carried by parcel post at the following rates; 
Zones 1 and 2: 1 Dibble, .06; 2 Dibbles, .08; 3 Dibbles, .10; 
Zone 3: 1 Dibble, .08; 2 Dibbles, .12; 3 Dibbles, .16;
