Splendid, B. (Male) 
EARLY TO LATE. Bisexual. The name 
of this variety exactly fits the fruit it 
produces. Large of size, round in shape, 
bright-red in color, it is a particularly at- 
tractive berry when placed on sale. The 
flesh of the fruit is attractively marked 
—around the edges it is bright-red. and 
this color extends about one-third of thp 
way to the center; but f.om this po nt 
to the center the flesh is creamy white. 
The foliajfe spreads beautifully, and is 
dark and glossy green with a polished 
leaf. The calyx is small, bright-green 
and spreads well over the top of the ber- 
ry. Splendid is a strong bisexual and an 
excellent mate for pistillates because of 
its long flowering season with every 
bloom full of pollen. This is the four- 
teenth year we have bred this variety. 
Grown at Three Rivers and Twin Falls. 
Heritage, B. (Male) 
EARLY. Bisexual. Three years ago we 
presented this variety for 1 he first time 
to our customet s and its increasing pop- 
ularity is tne bett evidence of its excel- 
lent qualitits. Heritage is believed to 
be a seeiiling of the Marshall variety, 
\\ hich of itself is a guaiantee of quality. 
Ins'iape the berry is long and conical with 
an obtuse point. The fruit is a dark 
lustrous shade of crimson and is studded 
with brilliant golden seeds making it 
one of the handsomest berries ever stiown 
upon the market. It is a heavy yielder, 
and the berries are very large. We hope 
our customers are to order generously of 
this noble variety this season, as it is one 
of the varieties that win instant and 
pe' manent trade wherever it is seen on 
the market. 
Grown at Three Rivers and Twin Falls. 
Eederwood, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM EARLY. Bisexual. For 
1 wenty-six j eai s we have gi own this old 
favorite, and it is one of those vai ieties 
which steadily increase in popularity 
with the years. In color this beiry is a 
(lelicate nimson with a glossy surfwce 
in which are imbedded yellow seeds. The 
flesh of the berry is red, shading down 
t-> a rich cream near the center. In size 
1 he berries are medium. In flavor the 
fruit is delicious and is easily one of the 
finest berries for the table. In addition 
to these qualities it is an excellent can- 
n-'r. It is a prolific producer and is fam- 
iius for its long blooming season and its 
g eat strength as a fertilizer of pisti late 
varieties. In the Great Lakes region it 
has been one of the most popular varie- 
ties ever since its introduction.

line of our photographs from a great German

Company is recognized the world overas the seat

Rates of Postage on Plants 
AFTER the inside cover pages of this book 
v\entto press the United Mates Congress 
passed tlie Parcel Post bill, and the same 
went into effect January first, 1913. However, 
no change has been made in the rates of postage 
so far as they relate to plants, seeds and roots. 
Therefore, the postage rates on plants from 
Three Rivers, Michigan, and Twin Falls, Idaho, 
will remain the same as before, namely, 20 cents 
per hundred plants. As the weight of plants 
grown at Canby, Oregon, of the same varieties is 
fully 50 per cent greater than the weight of plants 
grown at Three Rivers and Twin Falls, the rate 
for postage from Canby to all points in the Unit- 
ed States will be 30 cents per hundred plants. 
Postage Rates to Canada will be exactly double 
the rates charged to United States points. In 
other words, the cost of shipping 100 plants to 
Canadian points from Throe Rivers and Twin 
l-'alls will be 40 cents, and from Canby, Oregon, 
to Canada the cost will be 60 cents per hundred 
plants. 
All customers, therefore, ordering plants to 
come by mail should include, when sending their 
oriler, a sufficient sum to pay postage at the rates 
above quoted. 
The e-\pi ess companies have made a consider- 
able reduction in rales since our shipping season 
for iyi2 ended, and we cannot too strongly urge 
the value of having plants, wherever possible, 
come forward by express. In a majority of cases 
the cost will be lower by express, and another 
great advantage is the fact that all express mat- 
ter is carried in an open car, whereas mail pack- 
ages travel in air- tight mail pouches. 
In remitting by postofiice money order all cus- 
tomers should have the money orders made pay- 
able at Three Rivers, Mich., as our principal of- 
fice is located at Three Rivers, and all remittan- 
ces should be made with that fact in view. 
Our Plants Are True to Name 
WRITING theR. M. Kellogg Co. under date 
of September 7, 1912, and advising us that 
he wished to purchase 145,000 plants for
