KELLOGG S THOROUGHBRED STRAWBERRIES IN CALIFORNIA 
pROM Mrs. J. Hayda we received the above photograph. The beautiful scene, with the high hills and tall timber in the dis- 
i tance, represents the Hayda patch of Kel ouft s pUints at Cuddeback, Calif. Mrs. Hayda writes that she gathered from this 
plot fine, ripe strawberries for New- Year's dinner. The success achieved by our California customers has been most gratifying 
trons tell us of their experiences without being 
convinced of the superior quality of the plants we 
shipped them from these branch farms. 
Reports from Oregon-Grown Plants 
What California Customers Say 
Morgan Hill, Jan., 26, 1912. "The 500 Glen Mary strawberry 
plants I received of you were the finest plants 1 oversaw. Ev- 
ery plant is growing and I can see the rows from one end to 
the other. The Glen Mary has produced the largest crops that 
I ever saw without fertilization. I have been a strawberry 
grower for forty years and have grown more than 100 differ- 
ent varieties." J. Luther Bowers. 
Sawyer's Bar, April 5, 1912. "I just received my berry 
plants and I will say this much— if you have any nicer and 
stronger ones, I don't want them, for mine are certainly fine 
enough for anyone. And if they don't grow— well, it won't 
be your fault!" D. F. Skillen. 
Bishop, May 3, 1912. "The 3400 plants shipped April 29 
will more than fill my ground. I rented three acres today 
and will prepare it for strawberries for 1913 and will be in the 
market for about 25,000 plants. And they will be Kellogg's." 
Ralph Calkjns. 
Pomona, Feb. 12, 1912. "The strawberry plants arrived in 
nice shape, and I never received plants from the old farm at 
Three Rivers having a better root system than those that 
have just come to me from the Canby farm." M. E. BEARD. 
Santa Cruz, July 6. 1912. "The 500 Magoon plants received 
from you some time ago were exceptionally well rooted and 
have made a fine growth. We are well pleased with them. 
We shall require about 40,000 plants of this variety for setting 
next year." C. R. Shipwav. 
Oakland, March 4, 1912. "The plants you shipped us came 
in due time and in fine condition. They are all in the beds 
and look well." Mrs. A. F. Shores. 
Woodland, Feb. 19. 1912. "Received strawberry plants all 
O. K. and find them satisfactory. Thanks for sending them 
so promptly." Mrs. L. R. Roberts. 
Oakland, March 28. 1912. "The strawberry plants came in 
fine condition. We expect to have good success from our beds 
and think it due to the fine, strong plants you sent, which 
far excel the plants we bought here to fill in the l>alance 
of the space at our command." Mrs. Annie W. Sullivan. 
Arroyo Grande. March 8, 1912. "My strawberry patch is 
composed of Kellogg's strain of plants and contains seven 
acres— the largest strawberry patch in San Louis Obispo Coun- 
ty. It IS the prettiest patch also, and it contains the best 
varieties of strawberries. Our berries have captured two 
prizes at our county fair; many of them measured li4 inches 
in circumference. We sell our crop at an average ranging 
between $t00 and $700 per acre." W. Rodriguez. 
Some Oregon Testimonials 
Hermiston, May 24, 1912. "Received the plants— all in good 
shape. Have them all set out and they are growing nicely. 
Strawberries do finely here and are big producers." 
W. P. Bouschard. 
Salem. Dec. 29. 1911. "The plants you sent me came in 
splendid condition. 1 think they all grew but one. They were 
fine plants, indeed, and have such good roots." 
M. C. HONAKER. 
Lebanon, March 9, 1912. "The plants came in fine condi- 
tion; were well rooted and had good crowns." 
Ray H. Roberts. 
Melville. May 22, 1912. "The 2,000 plants I received from 
you are doing nicely. Think I am safe in saying that I haven't 
lost over a half dozen out of the entire consignment." 
O. B. Standley. 
Letters from Washington Customers 
Kennewick, March 24, 1912. "The one thousand plants I 
got from you last spring have made such an elegant showing 
that I got a contract to plant the 19,000 plants I am ordering 
herewith for some of my neighbors." John Hess. 
[An increased order amounting to 1900 per cent 
based upon the showing made by our plants in 
one season certainly is a testimony to their quali- 
ty of the most practical nature. ] 
Deer Park, Feb. 2, 1912. "We got ten varieties of straw- 
berry plants from you last year and they made the moat beau- 
tiful beds we have seen anywhere. All the varieties do much 
better than plants secured by our neighbors elsewhere." 
C. E. Studebaker. 
Sherlock, May 14, 1912. "The strawberry plants I got from 
you this spring are growing finely." W. T. Seifke. 
Wauconda, June 1, 1912. "We received the 2,000 straw- 
berry plants in due time. Are very much pleased , as the 
plants are fine." Mrs. C. H. Smith. 
Seattle, June 14, 1912. "I must congratulate you on the 
plants you shipped me in February. Never had anything in 
the strawberry line to do as well as they have. I have not 
lost a single plant-every one of them is doing finely. It is
