Wolverlon, B. (Male.) 
EARLY. Bisexual. A large top-shaped, crimson 
berry of more than ordinary merit. The upper side, 
which ij exposed to the sun, colors up quite red when 
fully ripe. The seeds also are darker than on the un- 
der side, where they remain a clear, bright yellow. It 
is one of the richest on the list and has a fine-grained 
flesh of pink color, being the same texture clear through ; 
also has a very delicate, mild flavor. It has a heavy 
double calyx that droops over the berry, which makes 
them temptingly beautiful when served with stems. As 
an all-around table berry it has very few equals. 
They are so rich they fairly melt in the mouth like so 
much chocolate candy. This is why it is seen in so 
many family gardens. It is also a big money maker 
for the grower who sells direct to consumers, as its 
richness overcomes any objection to price. 
The foliage is large with a spreading habit, has a 
broad, light green leaf and heavy fruit stems. The 
bloom is large, well developed and so full of rich pollen 
that it is ideal for mating purposes. Grow it in dou- 
ble hedge rows on medium rich soil; cultivate until 
late in the fall to force a thick foliage, then mulch 
quite heavily, as the berries lie close to the ground 
and the material used for this will keep them clean. 
The difference in price will doubly pay for all extra 
care. When packing them we would suggest that the 
top layer be placed on their sides, allowing some of the 
calyx tips to show. A little time spent in arranging 
fruit to make it look dainty always is profitable. 
This makes the sixteenth year it has been bred up 
by selection and restriction, and that is why we can so 
confidently recommend it. 
GROWERS of the Kellogg plants appreciate them. 
Thos. E. Sutton of Marion, Iowa, writes us un- 
der date of July 24, 1905: "The 3,000 plants I bought 
of you in the spring arrived in good condition, and I 
now realize the great value of Thoroughbred plant 
breeding. They show their business qualifications by 
building up crowns, and Oh! such foliage! notwith- 
standing the season has been so wet and my ground so 
LOW I could not handle them as I should have done. " 
Haverland, P. (Female.) 
MEDIUM. Pistillate. A large and long berry of 
bright crimson, blended with light red on one side, 
rather full and round at the stem end, gradually taper- 
ing to a point; the seeds are a bright yellow and just 
prominent enough to make a handsome appearance; 
the calyx falls gracefully over the berry, which adds 
beauty as well as protection in shipping. The inner 
part is a rich pink, solid meat, quite juicy and with 
mild flavor It is the berry of all berries for produc- 
tiveness, and for this reason is extensively grown all 
over the country; there is big money in growing such 
a grand variety as Haverland. 
The foliage is rather tall, of spreading habit, with a 
long dark leaf, sends out large, stocky runners and 
makes strong vigorous plants. The bloom is medium- 
sized and extremely hardy, seldom hurt by frost. The 
Haverland should be grown in double hedge rows on 
medium rich soil, with plenty of cultivation and hoe- 
ing to stimulate a large foliage growth ; they should be 
well mulched, as the fruit stems are not able to hold 
the immense load of berries from the ground, and the 
straw will keep them clean; this also makes easy and 
quick work at picking time; the big, bright fellows lie 
'in windrows piled on top of each other. 
The most catchy way of packing the fruit is to lay 
tie top layer in rows on their sides; this gives them a 
most tempting appearance and makes it easy to get a 
big fancy price. We find the style of packing has as 
much to do with quick sales and big prices as the 
berry itself. Just try this plan and see if your fruit 
does not attract greater attention. Fancy grocers and 
commission merchants are hunting for growers of this 
kind. 
Remember we have been breeding up the Haverland 
for sixteen years, sparing neither pains or expense in 
making our selections from high scoring mother plants, 
and we now have it quite up to our ideal. The de- 
mand is increasing for our strain of Haverlands every 
year; last season it required one and one-half mil- 
lion of them to fill our orders.
