4 GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM

A FIELD OF PEDIGREE CORN ON THE KELLOGG FARM 
/^OMPARE this fipid of Pedigree com with the field of common corn on the opposite pa^e. Both fields were planted on the 
^ same day and were photographed on the same day. The soil of these two fields is identical; they are sepaiaied only by a 
wire fence. We paid $5.00 per bushel for the Pedigree seed used in planting this field— cost |.er acre for setd 60 cents. The 
corn at the time the photograph was made— August 5— stood nine feet high. The entire 25 acres was a perfect suind and 
V as even in growth. The field averaged two large ears to every stalk. As this book goes to press the field gives promise of an 
average of 100 bushels of perfectly developed ears to the acre. Judging from the corn grown in this section of the state we 
have more than doubled the yield of the average field of the common corn. We are not in the business of selling seed corn. 
These photographs and comparisons are used to illustrate the importance of using Pedigree seed and plants in oi*der to insure 
the greatest percentage of profit per acre. Our years of experience in agriculture have taught us that it is not a question of 
how much may be saved by using cheap seeds and plants, but rather how much may be produced per acre by using S'?pds and 
plants of the highest pioJuctive power. No man who grows crops can alioid to do other than make his acres yield tneir best. 
until fruiting time is just the same whether 
you get 2,000 or 8,000 quarts from that acre. 
Kellogg Pedigree plants have only to give 
you an increase in yield over other plants of 
300 quarts of berries per acre to make the 
O Pla ts Reall Pl^nts cost you nothing. 
Cost You NotWng ^^^^ growers report to 
us that our plants have 
increased their yield by more than 2,000 
quarts per acre, and it is not an uncommon 
thing for us to receive letters from custom- 
ers who report an increase of from 2,500 to 
3,000 quarts per acre. Figure this out for 
yourself. The cost of enough Kellogg plants 
of the choicest varieties for one acre is only 
about $30.00. An increase of 300 quarts per 
acre at 10c per quart will pay back to you 
the full cost of the plants. All additional in- 
crease over the 300 quarts is just that much 
more clear profit in favor of the Kellogg 
plants. 
Only those who have used the Kellogg 
plants or have seen them in full fruit under 
favorable conditions can realize the great 
difference that exists in the fruiting power 
of plants. 
It is this difference that makes the Kellogg 
plants the most profitable of all plants. 
It is this difference that makes the grow- 
ers who use the Kellogg plants the first fid- 
dlers in their localities. 
It is this difference that has made the Kel- 
logg strain of plants so popular that it is al- 
most impossible for us to produce them in 
sufficient quantities to supply the demand. 
And it is the difference in the quality of
