Crescent, P. (Female) 
MEDIUM EARLY. PislllUle. An old favorite 
with medium-sized crimson berries with rather broad 
wedge shape, tapering to an obtuse point with a close 
grained surface and solid flesh — a combination of points 
which makes it one of the most popular varieties for 
shipping purposes. Seeds are bright yellow running to 
brown on the darker side and standing out prominently 
enough to make a contrast. It has a single calyx that 
spreads out straight and a neat slender stem. The inner 
part of the berry is a rich red around the edges, shading 
down to a lighter color toward the center. It is very 
juicy and possesses a fine flavor, rather tart. It is a 
splendid canner, always has been famous as a market 
berry and adds to its many excellencies that of being a 
fine producer. Crescent has been under our methods of 
breeding by selection for twenty-three years and we can 
recommend it more heartily each year because of the 
wonderful results it has given. 
Success Notwithstanding Bad Weather 
WRITING from Bemus Point, N. Y., July 1, 1907, 
John P. M. Wilson says: "I received the plants 
ordered from you in the spring all right, but it was about 
a month before it got warm enough to set them out. 
However, I got them set out after awhile and now I am 
more than pleased with them. A friend of mine has just 
been here and looked them over and declares they are 
the finest lot of plants he ever saw in his life, and I 
know no one around here has anything better." 
$310.00 from 1,000 Thoroughbred Plants 
pROM James Calder of Clayton, N. Y., a strawberry 
grower now nearly eighty-five years old, comes the 
following account of an experience with our plants: "I 
got 1,000 of your plants in 1903, from which I picked in 
1904, 1,000 quarts of berries that averaged 11 Yl cents 
a quart; in 1905 I picked 1,100 quarts that averaged II 
Bederwood, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM EARLY. Bisexual. Produces medium- 
sized berries of a delicate crimson color, glossy surface 
and deep yellow seeds. The calyx is small and lies 
close to the fruit, giving the berries an exceedingly clean 
and dainty appearance. The flesh is red, shading down 
to a rich cream color near the heart. Its rich color and 
delicate flavor make it a popular variety with high-class 
trade, and as a table berry cannot be excelled. The 
housekeeper finds it one of the best berries for preserv- 
ing in different forms for winter use. Exceedingly pro- 
ductive and a good shipper, it is also greatly admired by 
commercial growers everywhere. Bederwood is famous 
for its long blooming season, and therefore is exceedingly 
valuable as a pollenizer for pistillates. Twenty-one 
years of selection and testing of this variety gives us 
full confidence in it. 
cents a quart, and in 1906 1 picked 500 quarts that 
averaged 13 cents a quart. I kept the plants strictly in 
the hill. If one died, I set another out of my old bed, 
which was made up of other kinds of plants, marking the 
hill. And in that way I found the difference between 
your plants and the others. There is nothing else like 
the Kellogg Thoroughbred plants." 
Kellogg's Plants Make Clean Patches 
UNDER date of May 30 G. W. Pryor of Trinway, 
Ohio, writes as follows: "I am greatly pleased 
with the plants you sent me last spring. People say I 
have the cleanest and nicest strawberry patch they ever 
saw." 
Pedigree Plants Never Failed Him 
HAVE used Kellogg Pedigree plants for propagating 
beds for ten years, and they have never failed 
me," is the word that comes to use from A. S. Caulkins 
of Stone Lake, Iowa.
