Oregon Iron Clad, B. (Male) 
VERY LATE. Bisexual. An extra large broad- 
shaped berry of a glossy dark-red that extends through 
to the center. It is very productive, has a delicious 
flavor and is strong as a shipper, qualities which make 
it a popular variety among extensive growers. The 
seeds are bright yellow and remain so no matter how 
ripe the berry gets. The fruit retains its brilliant color 
for days after being picked and the calyx also re- 
mains fresh and green. The calyx joins the berry in 
such a way as to form rather a long neck, drooping 
over the latter in the form of a pointed collar. The 
foliage is extra large, light-green and tall; the fruit 
stems are of more than ordinary length, holding the 
clusters of berries out in full view. The Iron Clads 
stand very erect until the fruit starts ripening, when the 
weight of the heavy fruit gradually pulls them down 
until the berries rest on the clean mulching. This 
makes picking an easy job, hu\ selling the fruit is still 
easier. This is the sixth year of selection and its 
strong points grow more apparent each year. 
Doman, B. (Male) 
LATE. Bisexual. This variety grows an extra 
large berry, the shape of which is seen in the illus- 
tration above. It is dark-red on the upper side, shad- 
ing to a bright-red on the other ; seeds are red and 
yellow. It is one of the meatiest and richest berries we 
have ever tasted; the inside is deep pink, shaded down 
to almost a white center. The meat is smooth as velvet 
and absolutely free from any gritty substance. It has 
a large double calyx and like the berry this remains 
fresh and bright for days after being picked. Dor- 
nan is famous for its delicate rich sub-acid flavor, which 
makes it possible to smother it in cream without affect- 
ing the digestion. The foliage is dark-green of a 
waxy appearance, very large, vigorous grower and of 
upright habit. The roots go deeply down, bringing up 
plenty of moisture, which keeps everything moving ni 
the right season. It has a large bloom and is a valua- 
ble pollenizer for pistillates. Dornan has been in our 
breeding beds for nine years.

IWANT to tell you how nice my plants are that I got 
of you last May," writes Mrs. A. J. McClurg of

825 Quarts from 700 Plants 
I f AVE just finished picking my first crop of straw- 
^ ^ berries from the 700 Thoroughbred plants bought 
of you in 1906," writes E. W. Sluder of Leicester, N. 
C, under date June 26, 1907. "and am highly pleased. 
Although the frost and cold weather this spring in- 
jured my berry crop some, I picked from my 
patch 825 quarts, which I sold at 10, 12J/2 and 15 
cents per quart. 
Kellogg' s Berries Sell at a Premium 
I I E. HARRISON of Appleton, Wis., writes as 
* follows: "The retail prices of strawberries at 
Appleton were 10 to 12 cents per quart box, but I sold 
my Kellogg berries for from 15 to 17 cents per box. 
There was but one trouble with my berries — I did not 
have enough of them for my customers."
