New Home, B. (Male i 
VERY LATE. Bisexual. The berries of this varie- 
ty are extra large, bright-red and hold their color for 
several days after being picked. The firmness and 
keeping qualities of this variety make it one of the 
most profitable on the list. The seeds are brown and 
yellow and glossy, giving to the fruit a polished ap- 
pearance. The flesh is a deep pink and the flavor of 
the friut is very rich. This is the third year in which 
we have bred New Home, and its performance on our 
farms entirely confirms the splendid reports we have 
received from many sources. The foliage is light- 
green and the plants are beautiful and thrifty. We 
should like to have all our customers give New Home 
a liberal trial and shall be glad to have them report 
concerning their experience with it. One grower re- 
ports that his seven-year-old boy picked thirty-seven 
quarts of New Home strawberries in two hours. This 
grower annually produces strawberries from a field of 
New Homes of from twenty-five to thirty acres in ex- 
tent. Our own experience leads us to believe that his 
report does not exaggerate the facts. 
our stock plants as well as in the after multiplication, 
they are grown under the most favorable conditions 
known to the horticultural art. Absolutely no expense 
Is spared which in our judgment would contribute to their 
betterment, and yet under these favorable environments 
some will improve faster than others, and so the scale 
of perfection is advanced materially by selection. 
We can improve strawberries faster than any other 
perennial because through runners we get new crea- 
tions every year, and this suggests the reason for the 
steadily advancing popularity of the Kellogg strain of 
strawberry plants. 
Pride of Michigan, B. (Male) 
LATE. Bisexual. Of all the varieties of straw- 
berries we have ever grown, the Pride of Michigan 
certainly stands at the head. Handsome in form and 
color, they are the largest on the market. The color 
is scarlet with bright-red cheeks — one of the highest 
colored berries we have seen and of the most delicious 
flavor we have tasted. The illustration above was made 
from a photograph showing the actual size and form, but 
no photographer or artist can do them full justice; only 
nature can blend and harmonize such delicate colors as 
appear in this great fruit, and it is quite as impossible 
for a written description to tell of its fine qualities. We 
have sold fully one and one-half million plants of this 
variety and from the enthusiastic letters we are re- 
ceiving from customers who have fruited it, we know 
from their experience that it is a prize winner in all 
soils and in all sections of the country. Pride of 
Michigan is unusually productive. The berries lie in 
windrows and the heavy, dense foliage spreads out 
wide enough to shade them. It is a splendid shipper, an 
excellent canner and it never sells in competition 
with other berries, but stands in a class of its own. 
It makes just about enough runner plants to form a 
good, heavy fruit row, which saves the grower a lot 
of work, and at $8.00 per thousand for Kellogg's strain 
of plants is one of the best investments any grower can 
make; and ours is the only nursery that can furnish 
pure plants of this variety. For six years we have had 
it in our fruiting beds, where the most careful selec- 
tions have been made. Note the big plate of Pride of 
Michigan on Page 44. Nothing more attractive on the 
market or more delicious on the table ever has been pro- 
duced in the fruit line than this wonderful twentieth-cen- 
tury strawberry.
