GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
Copyright 1912 by R. M. Kellogg Co.. Three Rivers. Mich. 
Nick Ohmer, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM TO LATE. Bisexual. This 
is the filteenth season we have offered 
Nick Ohmer to our patrons, and we are 
very glad to note its steadily increasing 
f _ivor wherever it has grown. Recently 
ic has sprung into large popularity in 
the Gulf states and in California. We 
received orders for hundreds of thou- 
sands of plants of this variety last sea- 
son which we could not fill. The word 
"classy" suggests the appearance of this 
variety, and its great size, rich crimson 
color, unusually rich flavor and firm 
flesh, which insures a splendid shipper, 
all combine to place Nick Ohmer in the 
front rank of fancy strawberries. The 
foliage grows tall, with long fruit sterna 
standing up over the fruit, making pasy 
work for the pickers. The bloom is 
large and very rich in pollen. 
Is grown on all our farms. 
Sharpless, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM LATE. Bisexual. Sharp- 
less is another of the old favorites of 
which the general public never has 
tired. In appearance it is very much 
like our famous Bubach. In color it is a 
bright-red, in shape it varies just as Bu- 
bach varies. The berries are very large, 
and the vines produce medium -sized 
crops of fruit of a very rich and delicate 
flavor. It is one of the old-time varie- 
ties that has won such a place among the 
strawberry growers of the country as to 
insure a uniformly heavy demand for the 
plants from them season after season 
without variation. The foliage of Sharp- 
less is very large and it makes just about 
enough short runners to fill in the row. 
It succeeds in practically all soils and un- 
der all conditions of climate. 
Grown only at Three Rivers. 
Molena, B, (Male) 
EARLY TO LATE. Bisexual. Molena 
is a Pacific Coast origination and has had 
wide popularity over a great section of 
the Far West. In the large strawberry- 
region south of San Francisco, it is auni- 
versal favorite, and our experience with 
this variety encourages the assurance 
that it will succeed all over the Pacific 
coast. The berries of Molena are crim- 
son in color. In form the berries are 
variable, and in size the fruit is very 
large. It poaesses a flavor rich and sat- 
isfying, and yields tremendous crops of 
fruit that always command a high price 
in the market. It is a prolific maker of 
long runners. We might add that in 
California it begins fruiting early and 
continues to produce for several months 
of time. 
Is grown only at Canby. 
always have had fine success since we bought our plants from 
you. The Kellogg Company is all right, and I tell my neighbors

I know of in this country." Geo. A. Allen.

Frenchtown, February 8. 1912. "I am well pleased with 
the plants received from you. They always come in the best 
of condition; the berries are fine and just what you say they 
are. Could not supply my customerj*— everyone wantefl some 
of those fine berries." Walter D. Koberson.

Hornell, March 22, 1912. "The plants I purchased of you 
grew beyond my expectations, and I have good i easons to ex- 
pect a heavy crop this year. I never saw so large and thrifty 
plants, and I have raised strawberries lor ten years." 
Lewis M. Depew, 
Franklinville, July 12, 1912. "Will you kindly send me 
your last catalog. 1 want to set an acre next spring if I can. 
I had some of your plants from C. W. Hogue, Franklinville, 
and they did fine and everyone praised them and I picked 
about five weeks on them. I could sell my berries where 
others could not. I had quite a few Pride of Michigans, Sen- 
ator Dunlaps and other kinds. If 1 set out an acre or any oth- 
er amount, no one could sell me plants but you; and this is no 
flatteiy." H. P. Jewell.

Newton, February 27, 1912. "Plants T bought of you two 
yoars ago have won all the custom and a great deal more than

bought of you last spring are the finest I ever saw. They are
