LJERE is a new way to serve strawberries. Simply take a spray of nice, clean leaves, lay three of these sprays 
* * on a plate, with stems to center. Have berries picked with long stems and lay one on each leaf, which will 
make nine berries for each guest. A large leaf also should be put on a small butter individual and filled with 
powdered sugar. This is a beautiful way to serve them for weddings, banquets and tea parties. 
Long-Distance Shipments of Plants 
IT is a pretty good test of a plant's vitality 
that it has withstood the 13,000-mile jour- 
ney to Australia and then, set out in the soil 
of the antipodes, grows strong and lusty, build- 
ing up a noble foliage and yielding an abun- 
dance of big, red, luscious berries. 
T. Herbert Beckett, of Fendalton, Christ- 
church, New Zealand, writing the KelloggC >ni- 
pany under date May 6, 1905, says: "1 enclose 
a leaf picked off a "Gandy" plant, which I 
think you will admit is a very good size for one 
season's growth, considering it had no leaves to 
speak of when it arrived here five months ago; 
only a few pale-green buds, or shoots." It is 
only one instance of the ability of the Kellogg 
plants to live and thrive under trying conditions; 
but we have had the leaves photographed and 
present it herewith. 
One of the strong features in the work of 
this company is the manner in which its plants 
are packed for shipment. The nature of the 
plant is considered quite as much at that stage 
')f its career as when it is in the breeding or 
the propagating bed. This is one of the reasons 
why the Kellogg Thoroughbreds so readily 
accommodate themselves to soil and climatic 
conditions, no matter how unlike those to 
which they are native.
