GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
Copyright 1912 by R. M. Kellogg Co. Three Rivers. Mich- 
Jessie, B. (Male) 
EARLY. Bisexual. Jessie is a variety 
thai belongs distinctly in the fancy class, 
and growers who find their soil adapted 
to its production rank it among their 
leaders. Under just the right conditions 
ic is one of the most satisfactory varieties 
grown and is highly appreciated by com- 
mercial growers. In addition to this is 
the extraordinarily high quality of the 
fruit, and the fact that it is a great 
yielder. Jessie is a strong bisexual va- 
riety and an excellent fertilizer for earlv 
pistillates. We were led to add Jessie to 
our list of varieties because of the enor- 
mous calls that came to from growers 
■with whom Jessie is a particular favorite. 
Jessie is grown only at Three Rivers. 
Bubach, P. (Female) 
MEDIUM. Pistillate. This great pistil- 
late variety steadily grows in popularity 
with each succeeding season. The ber- 
ries of this variety are ample as to size, 
the color is bright red which extends to 
the center, and the thick meat is delic- 
ious. In form they range from conical 
to the thick and broad. It is one ot the 
universal varieties and succeeds where- 
ever grown. The foliage is dark green 
and waxy and is almost fungous proof. 
It has a spreading habit and very short 
fruit and leaf stems. This is the twenty- 
sixth year we have propagated Bubach. 
and we cannot too strongly advise our 
customers to set generously of it. 
Bubach is grown only at Three Rivers. 
Early Ozark, B. (Male) 
EXTRA EARLY. Bisexual. Ozark is 
now recognised the country over as one 
of the best of the extra-early varieties. 
In fact, its fruit is as finely matured, as 
beautiful in form and color and the ber- 
ries are as large as are our leading meii- 
ium and late varieties. This variety is a 
cross of Excelsior and Aroma and com- 
binestheexcellent features so pronounced 
in the case of these two old favorites. 
It is as early as the Excelsior and as 
beautiful in form and as sweet as the 
popular Aroma. Added to these quali- 
ties are its great prolificness and exceed- 
ingly firm texture, makinir it an ideal 
variety for the commercial grower. 
Early Ozark is grown on all our farms.

To whom it may concern: 
The writer lives within sixty rods of the great Kellogg 
Tarm and has seen it grow in acreage and fertility under ad- 
vanced methods of cultivation, until ihe Kellogg Company is in 
position to grow as fine plants as can be produced anywhere 
in the world. 
The business of the concern is handled in a most effi- 
cient manner, and the personnel of the Company is of the high- 
est order. In a word, we commend the R. M. Kellogg Co. to 
the public, and feel justified in saying that their customers 
will be dealt with justly and honorably. To our knowledge, 
the Company has returned in a single season, fhrusanHs of 
dollars to customers whose orders (hey were unable to fill. 
Very truly,

Gentlemen: 
Some days ago I inspected your strawberry plant farm 
here and was very pleasantly surprised at the fine showing 
you are making. Your plants were quite a revelation to me. 
They are an extremely fine, healthy-looking lot of plants, and 
the roots of these plants were much better than any I ever 
before have seen. 
I congratulate you on having produced a class of plants 
which undoubtedly will make good under any reasonable con- 
ditions. Very truly yours.

We Wish Photographs 
THE beautiful photographs of the fields and 
plots of our customers which appear in this 
book are striking evidence of the success our 
customers enjoy with our plants. We wish to re- 
ceive more of these photographs, and we hope 
our friends in the future will be as generous in 
this regard as they have been in the past. The 
number that we can use in each annual edition of 
this book is not great, but we desire those which 
are particularly fine. Of course, we wish views 
only of the Kellogg plants. Photographs should 
be in our hands whenever possible as early as July 
first of each year. We use nothing but photo- 
graphs in preparing illustrations for this book. 
It may be interesting to know that the Kellogg 
Company is asked to supply photographs to such
