THE R. M. KELLOGG CO., Three Rivors. Mich.: 
Dear Gentlemen: This year I got the plants the 
26th oC April, in the b^st possible condition. The moss 
was white, but some roots showed new rootlets, and 
my wife as soon as she opened the pacltage cried out 
with joy, " All are living-." I put them the same 
evoning in cold frame, and next day they showed 
some (growth, and in three days they developed leaves. 
The plants I purchased of you last year also over- 
lived the voyage. Out of the six or seven dozen only 
eleven plants died; they had a very hard year, as we 
had two heavy hall storms. I have about two hun- 
dred atroHff plants now, with many fruit stems, and 
some are bloomins, but T only let a few of the berries 
ripen, as I want more plants from them. 
It is now too late, or I would willingly try to 
send you some plants grown from those you sent me 
a year ago. Just to show how nice they look after a 
long voyage. My berries are. always the best on the 
market. Please give me some instruction on growing 
In the hedge row. Yours truly, 
B STRIMPL.

We wish it were possible for every reader of this 
book to visit our plant farms and breeding bt^ds so 
he could see the strawberry plants in all their glory. 
A great number of our customers from nearly every 
state as well as Canada visit us each year, and we 
take great pleasure In entertaining and showing them 
around the farm. If you can come we will make a 
special effort to see that your visit is pleasant as 
well as profitable. One thing sure we will guarantee 
to show you the greatest exhibition of strawberry 
plants in the world ; single rows almost a mile long 
and straight as an arrow and a perfect sea of the 
bnautiful green foliage. Our breeding bed where all 
selections are made and where plant breeding Is 
carried on is a sight well worth seeing, especially to 
those interested along the lines of improvement. Re- 
member you are entertained free either at the best 
hotel or at our residence, which ever Is the most 
agreeable and pleasant to the guests. Just think It 
over and let us know if you can come so we can meet 
you at the train; if not convenient to advise us of your

each train, and conveys visitors to our grounds at our
