August Luther, B. (Male) 
EXTRA EARLY. Bisexual. This va- 
riety 1 as won popularity among' straw- 
berrry growers because, while it is a very 
early variety, it also has the distinction 
of producing- very sweet fruit. It has 
won special popularity on the Pacific 
Coast, one g-rower in Oregon reporting 
to the Board of Horticulture of that state 
that he had produced more than 16.000 
quarts of fruit to a single acre of this va- 
riety. The August Luther is a bright- 
colored berry of medium large size, round 
in form, has a very large calyx, and ta- 
pers to an obtuse point. The flesh of the 
berry is bright in color growing lighter 
as it approaches the center. August 
Luther has been under our methods of 
breeding for fourteen years. 
Is grown on all our farms. 
Crescent, P. ( Female) 
MEDIUM EARLY. Pistillate. Perhaps 
the highest recommendation we can give 
this variety is the simple statement that 
this is the twenty-eighth year we have 
grown this wonderful pistillate variety 
on our farms. In size the berries are 
medium and for the most part are of a 
rather broad wedge-shape, tapering to a 
dull point. The fruit ia crimson in color; 
the flesh is close grained and solid, mak- 
ing it an ideal shipper. The flavor of the 
fruit is deliciously tart, and the berry is 
exceedingly juicy and ranks very high as 
a canner. It is famous for the large de- 
pendable yields of fine fruit and, indeed, 
is in every respect an ideal berry. You 
should not fail to try this fine pistillate 
this season. 
Is grown only at Canby and Twin Falls. 
Lovett, B. (Male) 
EARLY. Bisexual. Lovett is another 
\ariety that we have grown for many 
years, as this is the twenty-first season 
we have off'ered this standby to our pa- 
trons. Lovett produces a large berry, 
deep crimson in color which for the most 
part is conical in shape. There is suf- 
ficient variation in form, however, to 
make it particularly attractive when 
packed and on the market. The flesh ia 
a dark, rich red and is very juicy. The 
berry is sufficiently tart to make it an 
excellent canner. The seeds are bright 
yellow, standing out from the surface, 
and aid greatly in producing a fine effect. 
Lovett ranks high as a shipper because 
of the fact that its bright color continues 
for many days after picking. 
Grown only at Three Rivers. 
the finest plants I eve*- saw. I thank you very much for the 
seleciion and >our Kenerous treatment." J. R. McAdams.

you were received on the 15th instant and in very good shape."

Richmond. August 15, 1912. "The plants you sent me last 
spring reached me in splendid condition and they have over- 
exceeded my expectations. Shortly after they arrived cold 
and stormy weather set m and I was compelled to heel them 
in and keep them in that condition for three weeks. Not- 
v/ithstanding this experience, they are doing very well. No 
more scrub plants— ts-ellogg plants and the Kellogg way are 
ifood enough for nie." L. Edgar Merrill, 
Vermont 
Northfield, May 19. 1912. "Plants came yesterday in nice 
shape. I tnink they are the finest plants I ever had. It is a 
pleasure to open up such plants as these. Those Marshalls 
you sent me will lie on the vines three or four days after ripe 
and they do not have to compete with anything else— they are 
in a class by themselves; and the berries grow as big as hen s 
eggs. M. F. Cram. 
Job nson. May 10, 1912. "The plants reached me in good 
condition. They are strong, well rooted, and the count w;is 
very liberal. With the start you have given me it looks as 
though it were up to me to make good." S. J. MacOmber.

Fenwick, July 8, 1912. "I purchased plants from you four 
years ago and they pleased me so well that I want to get ihe 
fall-bearing kind from you, for I feel sure of getting a square 
deal from your comjjany." E. C. Keller.

East Radford, April 21, 1912. "I wish to say that of t'-e 
1100 plants I ordered iromyou in the spring ot 1910 I nevt r 
lost one, and gathered forty bushels of the finest berries I ever 
saw the following season." Frank RobeiLs. 
Mana*!sas, August 11. 1911. "I have about one and cn"- 
half acres of strawtjcirj plants set this spring, some oi tli«„-m 
from your farm. Those obtained from your company showed 
more vitality from the beginnmg and have outgrown all the 
others. Hereafter if I can get only halt" the number of plants 
I wish for setting, I will certainly buy Kellogg plants."

Haven. April Ifi. 1912. "Am sending you herewith an or- 
der for plants. Those I received from you in 1910 were better 
than I ever expected to get anywhere. From 200 plants 1 picked 
more than 250 quarts of nice berries the first year and sold 
them straight for $1.60 a case of sixteen quarts. Everybody 
who saw them said they were the nicest berries they ever had, 
and we were so rushed for orders we scarcely knew what to 
do. We could have sold 2,000 quarts without the trouble of 
going to town with a single quart. So I am enlarging my 
strawberry field, and as long aa I buy strawberry plantp I 
will buy from the R. M. Kellogg Co." Mrs. Nick Voss. 
Chilton. April 30. 1912. "Received the strawberry plants 
in fine shape and set them all out. Every plant looks fine. I 
went according to your book as nearly as I could." 
James Dayton. 
Columbia, Feb. 20. 1912. "Two years ago I made $22.00 
f --om the second crop of 600 plants. I picked over 400 quarts 
Oi berries." Don Fillema. 
Milwaukee, May 1, 1912. "I did not cover my strawberry 
p'^nts last fall, and in January it got very cold— going as low 
as !4 degrees below Kero— and there was no snow to protect 
the plants. I have justexamined my plants and find many of
