Stevens* Late Champion, B. (Male) 
Brandywine, B. (Male) 
Tenn. Prolific, B. (Male) 
LATE. Bisexual. For eight years we 
have had this variety on our farms, an 1 
«ach year our confidence in its hi^h val- 
ue increases. A seedling: of the Gandy. 
it possesses the hifjrh excellences of that 
famous variety, and adds to its qualities 
that of being a very strong pollenizer. 
It thrives everywhere, is a very stiontf 
plant-maker and possesses extraoidi- 
nary vitality. It is one of the latest of 
the late varieties. It is also one of the 
most productive of the late varieties ami 
one of the finest market berries ever 
oriicinated. It is a deep rooter, and the 
plant stands hijfh, holding up its fruit 
well from the ground. Its late bloom 
makes it immune to the late spring 
floats, and it is in full fruit when most 
other varieties have entirely finished their 
f rulti^g season. 
Grown at Three Rivers and Twin Fal'.s. 
LATE. Bisexual. It is just twenty 
years since we began to propagate this 
now universally popular variety. Bran- 
dywine shares honors with Senator Dun- 
lap and Warfield in the wide extent of 
its habitat. It produces berries very 
large in size, in color deep red from cir- 
cumference to center. The berry has a 
llHvor peculiar to itself and most attrac- 
tive to people of epicurean tastes. In 
pi oductiveness it ranks among the lead- 
ers, and the size and beauty of its fruit 
make it popular among extensive com- 
mercial growers on the Pacific Coast and 
in the Southwest. The calyx of Brandy- 
wine is large, the stems grow erect, and 
hold the berries well up from the ground. 
The foliage is ample, havintr a da-k, 
leathery leaf which affords full protec- 
tion to the bloom 
la grown on all our farn.s. 
EARLY. Bisexual. To those who en- 
joy a strawberry of exceeding sweetness, 
Tennessee Prolific becomes at once a 
favorite. But this is not its only excel- 
lence, for as its name indicates it is very 
prolific, and there are few berries that 
have higher claim to beauty of form and 
color. Medium large, bright crimson, 
and for the most part long and corrugated 
in shape, the berries of this variety pre- 
sent a picture most attractive. The flesh 
is of fine grain, very juicy, and color a 
decided pink. Its close-grained surface 
marks it as a fine shipper, and it is 
equally popular as a canner. This is the 
25th year we have had Tennessee Pro- 
lific in our breeding beds and we are 
pleased to report a steadily increaping 
popularity of this delicious and altogeth- 
er desirable variety. 
Grown at Three Rivers and Twin Falls. 
What Visitors Say About the Kellogg Farm 
DURINO the month of August 1912 Col. Ro- 
land Morrill, one of the best known of Amer- 
ica's horticulturists, whose great fruit farms 
in Michigan and Texas are among the finest in the 
United States, and whose practical experience in 
the raising and marketing of crops is perhaps 
exceeded by no other, visited the R. M. Kellogg 
Company's farms, :ind under date of September 
IJ following wrote us this note of appreciation : 
"Referring to our recent visit to your farm, I 
fee! it is only fair and due you to say that, while 
1 have seen your plant work in the past and knew 
very well about your high-grade work for many 
years, I was agreeably surprised at the advance 
you have made and are making. I do not believe 
that more perfect soil or cultural conditions exist 
anywhere in the world than recently I saw on 
your immense strawberry plant fields; and after 
thirty years of experience and close observatioji 
in this line of work I can say that never have 1 
seen fields of plants equal to yours. I looked 
carefully for defects, but saw none. I did not 
see a single mixture of varieties in the entile 
plantation, nor do I remember seeing a single spot 
of weak plants. Kvcry block was robust and 
perfect and presented, indeed, a most beautiful 
sight — far the best I ever have seen. I certainly 
wish you the success you deserve for such perfect 
work. "Sincerelv voui-s,

This letter is to thank you for the courteous 
manner in which I was treated while visiting your 
wonderful plant farm and for the time you devot- 
ed to me in showing me around. I can conscien- 
tiously say that you are one plant firm that car- 
1 ies out everything you advertise. Indeed, your 
great plant fields show up far better than any 
picture you ever have shown in your book. The 
manner in which you grow each vai iety in a sep- 
arate block, and your method of digging plants 
and handling them in the packing house, pre- 
cludes the making of any mistakes. I inspected 
practically every variety you grow and found the 
pliints of each variety to be absolutely uniform 
and pure. Your cultural methods are perfect and 
you certainly have ideal conditions for growing 
plants of the highest quality. This is the second
