1^ R..>LKellogg's GyEAi Crops of <^ 
Texas, B. (Male) 
EXTRA EARLY. Bisexual. Produces immense 
crops of large, glossy, crimson berries with a dark-red 
cheek. Their waxy surface gives them an unusually at- 
tractive appearance. Seeds are of bright yellow, crimson 
on one side and running to dark brown on the other. 
These unusual colors, combined with the bright-green 
calyx partly drooping over the berry, makes a display so 
unusual as to command instant and favorable attention. 
The Texas is rich and juicy; it is very firm and with- 
stands shipping for long distances; and it is much 
thought of for canning purposes. The Texas appears to 
thrive everywhere, finding itself at home in all soils 
and in all climates. We have had this variety in our 
breeding bed for six years and recommend it most hear- 
tily both as a market and table berry. Our only diffi- 
culty has been in supplying the demand for this variety. 
This year we are confident that our big acreage will 
about fill the requirements of our customers. 
Lovett, B. (Male) 
EARLY. Bisexual. Berry rather large, of deep 
crimson color. Usually conical in shape with long points, 
there are always a few broad wedge-shaped specimens 
which add very much to appearances when the two forms 
are nicely arranged in a box. The seeds are bright 
yellow, extending well out from the surface and aid in 
producing a pleasing effect. The flesh is a rich dark 
red and very juicy, with just enough tartness to make it 
an excellent canner. The calyx is very small, part of 
which lies flat on the berry, the rest curling back towards 
the stem. The Lovett stands shipping well and holds its 
bright color as long as any berry we ever have known. 
These many good qualities, coupled with its extraordi- 
nary productiveness, make it one of the most profitable 
of the standard varieties. This is the sixteenth year we 
have bred this variety under our methods of selection. 
Do You Know? 
That the demand for the Kellogg strain of Thoroughbred 
Pedigree strawberry plants has become so great that 
the annual sales now are in excess of twenty million 
plants? 
That these plants when set out in the fruiting bed will 
produce twenty-five" million quarts of strawberries, 
worth at least $2,500,000.00? 
That there will be a greater demand for the plants of 
the 1908 crop than we ever have had before? 
We mention this so that you will be sure to get your 
order in early. 
More Than $500 An Acre 
1WANT to tell you of my success with your straw- 
berry plants," writes J. D. Alexander of Fremont, 
Ohio, under date of July 21, 1907. "In the spring of 
1906 1 purchased 2,000 plants from you and set them 
out. The dry weather coming on soon after left but 
about one-twelfth of an acre. The backward spring 
delayed their fruiting, but in due time the big red fel- 
lows showed in abundance on the vines. Then the good 
limes began. To make a long story short, we picked 
367 quarts or over $42.00 worth of berries. This is my 
first experience with strawberry culture, but already 1 
have the name here of raising the best berries on the 
market." 
Six Dollars a Crate for Kellogg Berries 
TEXAS is a great strawberry slate, but it is Kellogg's 
Thoroughbred Pedigree stock, set out in the spring 
in Texas that gets the lop prices. Robert A. Smith, 
writing from Magnolia, Texas, under date of February 
3, 1907, says: "The plants I received from you in the 
spring of 1906 are doing nicely. I am selling berries 
from them at $6.00 per crate."
