'T'HIS photograph of the strawberry farm of A. E. Woodward of Rexford Flats, N. Y., suggest-o the pleasure 
* one may find i:i the culture of that berry. Mr. Woodward's letter suggests also the profit to be found in 
that calling. He says: "In the spring of 19M I set three-fourths of an acre with Thoroughbred strawberry 
plants bought of you, and although it was extremely dry and hot for ten days after they were set, nearly every 
plant li.ed. From the three-fourths acre we sold 4,384 quarts (besides using and giving away large quantities) of 
extra fine berries, which brought nearly twice the price per quart paid for a.erage berries in our market. " When 
a grower gets at the rate of 6, J W quarts to one acre, he's doing business. Those who use the Kellogg plants 
are the ones who accomplish it. 
on earth to g-ovv. Read "Great Crops of 
Strawberries and How to Grow Them." It 
will tell you just what to do and when and 
how to do it. You never can realize how de- 
licious a strawberry is, until you have grown it 
yourself and picked it fresh and luscious from 
the vines. 
Women as Strawberry Growers 
THE success with which many of our lady 
customers are meeting is worthy of more 
than a passing notice. No other out-of- 
door employment ofFers larger opportunity to 
the enterprising woman than does strawberry 
culture, and the field is a wide and an open one. 
Mrs. Emma Flora of Conneaut, Ohio, 
writes under date of July 16, 1905, that from 
1,500 plants set in 1904 she realized $150 in 
1905, notwithstanding the plants did not receive 
the best of attention. She adds that next year 
she will set out twelve of the Kellogg varieties 
and go into the business on a more extensive 
scale. 
Mrs. Mary Moyer of Devil's Lake, Mich., 
writing of the Kellogg plants, says: "We 
never before have had such nice plants as these. 
I enjoy the berry work very much. I set all 
plants and pick most of the berries myself." 
Miss S. M. PoUard of Woodside, Minn., 
sends us a clipping from a local newspaper and 
says it was with Thoroughbred plants that her 
success as referred to therein was made. She 
says that the 1905 crop was her first attempt at 
raising strawberries, yet from about eight rods 
of plants she had sold on July 19, 400 quarts 
and had about 300 more to gather. The news- 
paper clipping follows: 
"The largest and nicest strawberries we have had the 
pleasure of seeing this year, or in fact any other year, 
were brought to our office last Thursday by Miss S. 
M. Pollard of Woodside. The size of the berries is 
something phenomenal, some of them measuring five 
inches and a half in circumference, while the flavor is 
sweeter and more juicy than the western and southern 
berry." 
Important Helps to Business 
THAT berry growing is a business requiring 
order and system every day becomes more 
evident. The actual work of the farm and 
the fruit garden becomes of increasing impor- 
tance each year, but not more so than the market- 
ing of their products. Nothing else is of greater
