H. S. FLETCHER'S PATCH OF THOROUGHBREDS AT JOLIET, ILU 
THIS fine strawberry plot, with its picturesque setting, is most attractive. Mr. Fletcher writes that the photo was taken 
1 when the plants were four months and one week from setting, and adds: "I am so well pleased w.th your plants that 1 have 
takm out all others If they bear according to the way they have made plants, I shall be more than satisfied. The work Mr. 
PIet?her has done with these plants makes success at fruiting time as cerUin as anything can be, and he surely has earned .t. 
believe you can do. Set out the Kellogg plants 
and grow them by the methods we advocate, and 
^ou may have like success. 
Our New Packing Method 
MOTHER NATURE is ever revealing herself 
in new and unexpected ways to those who 
study her with an open mind. The chainingof 
the lightning to do man's work, to light the world, 
to flash thoughts and words around the globe 
■quicker than thought itself may be formed into 
words, was the result of one man's observation 
•of nature's ways. And so have man and his world 
progressed, and so are they ever to progress. 
On the Kellogg farms observation and experi- 
ment always are in order, and it is an unusual 
.season indeed when we do not find better ways 
■of doing things than previously had been dis- 
covered. Last year we learned that to apply a 
very simple but universal law to the arrangement 
of plants when packing them added to their en- 
durance in transit, and all of the later shipments 
of 1912 were packed by the new method. We 
shipped plants in this way as late as June 3rd 
when berries were developed to full size. We 
publish herewith some of the letters we received 
showing the perfect condition in which they 
reached their several destinations:

berry plants reached us in first-class shape. May 28. They 
"were set immediately and are now sending out new leaves. 
Thev were the finest and largest new plants we ever have 
seen." JOHN J. DEWEY.
