THOROUGHBREDS THRIVE AMONG THE GIANT FIR TREES OF SNOHOMISH. 
^^HAT pioneer of days that are past but will find in this unique picture a reminder of those days so fxill of 
toil, yet in which there were pleasures the city cannot giv e? It is the strawberry bed of William L. Coch- 
ran of Snohomish, Wash., in a clearing carved out of the mammoth fir trees of that region. In a letter dated 
August 1, 1905, Mr. Cochran says: "My experience with the Kellogg Thoroughbred strawberry plants has 
been so good that hereafter I shall use them to the exclusion of all others." 
aid to the business fruit grower than good print- 
ing and in response to innumerable inquiries and 
requests we have decided to furnish our friends 
all over the country with letter-heads, envelopes, 
etc., all neatly printed on excellent stock and at 
prices so low as to make them actually cheaper 
than the unprinted letter-heads and envelopes. 
Here is a reduced specimen of our berry pick- 
ers ticket, one of the most important helps to a 
safe and rapid system of handling the field work 
when things are fairly humming in berry time.

It will be observe! that there are ten figure 
'4's" on each side, each four representing a gal- 
Ion, and twenty figure "I's" at the end, each 
standing for a quart, the aggregate being one 
hundred quarts. These are punched as the 
picker delivers his berries, and he keeps them 
until pay day, receiving a new ticket, of course, 
when the one hundred numbers have been 
punched out. This system of tickets, with one 
of our punches, makes the most complete system 
ever devised for keeping a record of the work of 
the pickers and the amount due each at pay time. 
The business strawberry grower can't afford 
to be without such aids to economy, expedition 
and good business methods, and we hope that all 
will equip themselves in readiness for a big busi- 
ness, carried on in the most modern way. 
PHILLIP DINES of Novelty, Ohio, writes us under 
date of July 13, 19)5: "Just before strawberries 
ripened I was over at Mr. Winslow's at Chesterland, 
and I never saw such a grand sight in all my life. Mr. 
Winslow is raising berries by the hill culture method, 
and the plants, I believe, would measure a half-bushel 
around, with from three to six crowns, just loaded with 
berries, resembling a swarm of bees on the limb of a 
tree. Had anyone told me the story, it would have 
boen in vain, but since I saw it I know it was so. Mr. 
Winslow told me that the plants came from the Kellogg 
farms, and he set 12,000 more plants this spring. My 
own plants from your farm also are doing well. "
