After doing so, if there is any part

should be glad to answer them. Al- 
ways write them on a separate sheet 
from all other correspondence, and 
number the questions consecutively. 
KELLOGG STRAWBERRY PLANTS IN THE FIELDS OF GEO. E. GUNN, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 
'THE above photo-engraving is of a section of the four acres of our plants set out in the spring of 1912 by Geo. E. Gunn, of 
bait Lake City. The photograph was taken late in August, and illustrates the extraordinary thriftiness of the plants. In 
a letter to us dated September 18, 1912, Mr. Gunn says: I am pleased to say that all of the plants you sent me were strong and 
vigorous, and arrived in splendid condition: they were planted this spring and have made a very satisfactory growth." Mr 
Gunn mcluded a generous order for 1913 delivery in this letter-a most substantial testimony to his faith in Kellogg plants. 
in it add greatly to the ap- 
pearance of the package. 
When packing do not press 
the berries; simply lay them 
in place and then handle 
them so carefully as to avoid 
bruising them. Remember, 
that never in history has 
there been an over-supply 
of sweet, well-ripened and 
tastily packed strawberries 
on the market. Make it 
your uniform rule that the 
ifirpt-quality berries you 
grow shall be the very high- 
est grade on the market, 
and you never will want for 
custom, and the pleasure 
you will take in this order of service will be com- 
pensation beyond estimating in dollars and cents. 
THE advice above g^ven will serve every straw- 
berry grower who follows it, but we realize 
that individual growers have problems all of 
which could not be covered in a volume. We 
therefore, wish you to understand that we always 
We HelD Be- ^'^"^ *'° answer questions sent 
Einners ' ''^ customers and thus aid to 
help them solve the problems that 
arise in their work as strawberry growers. When- 
ever you find yourself in doubt relative to this 
line of work, just write us, asking questions that 
will cover the points involved, numbering the 
questions carefully and using a separate sheet for 
tnem so that they may go directly to the right 
department and receive immediate attention. 
Our customers are our personal friends; we are 
interested in theircontinued 
and increasing success. 
Whatever our experience 
has taught us we shall be 
very glad to i mp art to 
others. Therefore write us 
freely relative to any mat- 
ters that call for informa- 
tion, instruction or advice, 
with the complete assur- 
ance that it will give us 
pleasure to answer promptly 
and with such ability as we 
possess. It will convenience 
us greatly if, when asking 
for advice or suggestions, 
you will write all questions 
on a sheet separate from 
any other matter, making a paragraph of each 
question and numbering each paragraph in the 
order in which it appears on the sheet. Our 
Special Service Bureau will receive the communi- 
cation without delay, and your inquiries will re- 
ceive immediate attention. 
Importance of Early Setting 
WE urge our customers to have their plants 
come forward at the earliest possible mo- 
ment, so that they may travel during the 
cooler days of the spring. The advantage of this 
course can scarcely be overestimated. In the 
first place, weather conditions are just right; in 
the second place, the grower has his plants in 
hand ready for setting at the moment his own 
soil and weather conditions favor their setting; 
and in the third place, the earlier plants come for-
