our customers after shipping out plants in 1912 
we conclude that our position in this matter has 
not been fully understood, and therefore we re- 
peat what we said in our 1912 book, that it -will be 
necessary for each customer to make a distinct 
request that plants be pruned if he wishes to have 
us do so. Therefore, kindly state when forward- 
ing your order just what you would have us do 
as regards pruning. 
Strawberry Growing for Women 
EVERY year comes the accession of a great 
many women to the ranks of successful straw- 
berry growers. One of the very interesting fea- 
tures of the correspondence of the R. M. Kellogg 
Co is that which has to do with this very import- 
ant branch of its work. Not only are the women 
keenly alive to the profits and pleasure which this 
work affords, but they enter into the work with 
such zest and spirit as to insure the highest order 
of success. Here is a typical letter from one of 
these successful growers. It comes from Miss 
Sheldon Fletcher of Linden, Mich., who under 
date of June 25th, 1912, writes: 
"I am very well pleased with this year's growth of berries. 
I have had to turn away several customers, so great is the ae- 
mand for my berries." _ _ 
Mary E. Cheney, of Sparta, Wis., writing un- 
der date of June 26th, 1912, says: 
"We have dealt with you in the past and are very much 
pleased with your plants." _ 
Mrs Lillian French of Kingfield, Me., in a let- 
ter of date April 1st, 1912, says: 
"The plants we got of you in 1910 did finely last year rc- 
„ardlessof1he fact that we had very little rain and a great 
deal of hot weather throughout the entne season. 
Mrs Josephine Pinnell of Lebanon, Ind., writ- 
ing under date of January 25th, 1912 says: 
"I send herewith another small order for strawberry plants. 
I ast vear was very dry and in consequence I did not ra.se 
many berries! but whit I had were splendid and the plants 
were surel,! a^l right, and so I am going to start another small 
patch. The Kellogg plants are the best ever. 
The number of women, who for one reason or 
another have been compelled to make their own 
way in the world and who have found strawberry 
growing not only the greatest source of profit but 
of pleasure and health as well, is quite remark- 
able, and suggests to all others, who may be m 
like situations, the possibility of adopting this 
means of livelihood. 
We take great pleasure always in assisting 
those who are new at the work to win success in 
the strawberry field. This is especially true of 
those who, like the women above described, have 
found it necessary to "work out their own salva- 
tion" in a very busy world. 
TN sending us the photograph of this fine lot of strawberry 
1 plants W. W. Martin of Brookfield, Mo., writes that the sev- 
en rows are composed of seven difl'erent varieties of Kellogg 
Thoroughbred plants, and that each variety looks equalbr 
thvil'lv Where our plants receive such care as Mr. Martin 
has manifestly bestowed upon these plants there can be no 
doubt about success. And it pays big in pleasure and in cash.
