GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM

FEND ALL. THE GIANT BERRY 
PENDALL is a giant not only because it produces such very large berries; it is equally remarkable for the fi-reat (juantities of 
fruit it produces, having a record of 16.8U0 quarts of beautiful bright red berries to a single acre. It is also remarkable lor 
the wide range of territory in which it finds congenial habitat, and still another virtue is its length of fruiting' season. Ber- 
ries have been gathered from the same patch on the 25th of May and on the 4th of July. lis unusual size, delicious flavor, 
length of bearing season, extraordinary productiveness, unusual beauty and symmetry of form, and wonderful root system 
make the Fcndali one of the most popular of the pistillate varieties, and it has been successful wherever it has been tried out. 
tions we received letters from customers in 
nearly every state of the Union declaring 
that the Kellogg plants possessed such great 
vitality and powers of endurance that they 
lived throughout the trying siege when ev- 
erything else failed. In short, we never have 
been more gratifi6d by the reports that have 
come to us in any season than those which 
we received concerning the experiences of 
that unusual, and we hope never-to-be-re- 
peated, season. 
Here is a typical letter bearing on this 
very point. C. A. Angel of Galena, Kansas, 
writing under date of January 1st, 1912 says: 
"I note there is to be a shortage in plants 
caused by the drouth of 1911. I am glad to say 
that I have the best patch of vines I ever saw, 
which were grown from the 2,000 plants I or- 
dered from you in the spring of 1911. They nev- 
er had any rain to speak of from May 1 to July 15. 
Two of my neighbors set one acre and four acres 
respectively. Their plants came from another 
firm. The one who set the four acres said, when 
he saw mine, that he had a notion to plow up his 
patch. Neither of these neighbors has any 
plants worth mentioning. This is my first e.x- 
perience with strawberries, and I lay my success 
to your thrifty plants. Every one of the 2,000 
plants you sent me has grown finely." 
W. H. Partridge of Aldgate, South Aus- 
tralia, writes us under date of June 20th, 
1912, that of the seven varieties we shipped 
him from our branch farm in Oregon last 
February six are growing finely and that he 
is especially pleased with the Wm. Belt and 
Pride of Michigan. 
And from Hawaii D. J. Coonradt of Man- 
unawai writes us under date of April 13th, 
1912, as follows: 
"Plants arrived on April 6th and were set out the 
next afternoon. All are not only alive, but have 
grown new leaves and fruit buds. All were grow- 
ing when they arrived. They must have been on 
the way ten or eleven days, and to see them now 
they appear never to have stopped growing at all. 
Could more be said?"

satisfied customers that appear throughout
