Magoon, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM TO LATE, Bisexual. This 
variety has become a universal favorite 
from British Columbia on the North to 
the Mexico line on the South in the Paci- 
fic Coast reffion. It is a very heavy yield- 
er of hiph quality fruit. In color it is 
rich red with yellow seeds; in shape it is 
almost uniformly conical. Berries are 
very large. The flavor of the Magoon is 
delicious and mild. It is famous foritsship- 
pinp: qualities, and Pacific-Coast growers 
send them in carloads to as far East as 
Minneapolis and Omaha, where they 
command very high prices. 
Grown only at Canby and Twin Falls, 
Patagonia, B. (Male) 
EARLY TO LATE. Bisexual. We 
have not as yet fruited this variety which 
comes to us from Luther Burbank. and 
we have only a limited number of these 
plants for delivery from each of our 
three farms. In his description of the 
Patagonia Mr. Burbank says that the 
berries are grown on stiff-branching 
stalks that hold the fruit up from the 
ground; the fruit is scarlet in color, with 
flesh of a pale yellow: seeds are so small 
as to be imperceptible. Full - grown 
plants measure from twelve to eighteen 
inches across, 
Is grown on all our farms. 
Clark's Seedling. B. (Male) 
MEDIUM EARLY. Bisexual. Bright 
red; round; large; flavor rich; yields big 
crops of berries; runners short and few. 
Clark's Seedling is sometimes called 
"Hood River" because of its universal 
popularity in the fruit section of Oregon 
which goes under that name. To its 
other qualities is to be added that of an 
excellent shipper, proved by the fact 
that Oregon and Washington growers 
send them thousands of miles and that 
they reach destination in first-class con- 
dition. The plants of this variety are 
very large and stocky. 
Grown only at Canby and Twin Falls. 
them in blossom. This test certainly shows that R. M. 
Kellogg Co.'s plants are good. 1 shall always take pleasure in 
recommending them." Henry Riedel. 
Dominion of Canada 
Quebec 
Farnham, April 4, 1912. "Two years ago I got some plants 
of you and they did finely; in fact, I was more than satisfied 
with them. People who came to see my patch declared they 
never saw anything like them. I bought some of your plants 
for a man in Sherbrooke at the same time and they send me 
the same report concerning their plants. A part of the plant s 
I am ordering herewith are for another man who wishes to 
try them." Wm. Grant. 
Nova Scotia 
West Lawrencetown, June 17. 1912. "I wish to thank you 
for the plants received this spring. They were packed and 
crated O. K. and arrived in good condition. They were only 
four days in ti*ansit. We have had the coldest spring known 
for years and frosts enough to discourage any kind of vegeta- 
tion, then turning to cold rains. The plants did not mind 
that, and after all they have endured in the way of hard ex- 
periences they are now growing finely." N. V. Hiltz. 
Manitoba 
Reaton, May 2, 191'?. "Enc'osed please find order for 
plants. 1 have haj such good luck with Kellogg plants that 1 
want more of them. If it had not been for my success with 
your plants I certainly should try Canadian plants, as the duty 
makes the cost of your plants high." Mrs. John McArthur. 
Saskatchewan 
Nutana, April 26, 1912. "The strawberry plants arrived 
here in excellent condition. I am delighted with them. Not 
one damaged plant in the entire consignment." 
Max Schnitter. 
Harris, May 20, 1912. "I received the strawberry plants 
O. K. I notice they were shipped April 19, but 1 did not get 
them until the first part of May. Then owing to the weather 
b-^ing so cold and wet I could not get them in before the 24th. 
Even under such adverse circumstances I shall have 2,000 fine 
l>)ants. I am more than pleased with them so far.. Parsona* 
Beauty stood the long siege in fine shape." George Bradley. 
[From the digging of the plants at Three Rivers to the 
time of setting in far away Western Canada was just about 
four weeks.] 
Ontario 
New Liskeard. May 8, 1912. "I am sending herewith my 
third order for plants from you. Those I had before gave me 
verv good berries indeed. I hope 1 may be as successful with 
these." John Sharp.

UTAH'S BEST 
lA/HEN touring through the Inter-Mountain States we visited, among olher slraw Leii y Rro\\erF, Gcoige E Gunn. owner 
of Millcreek Ranch, not far from Salt Lake City. We found that he was effectively advertising the meiiis of his 
strawberries by the use of a label composed of a strip of yellow paper IH inches wide and long enough to encircle the box, where 
it was held by pasting the ends together. The form shown above came directly across the fruit. The fact that in Utah the 
R. M. Kellogg Co.'s Thoroughbred Pedigree plants had won such fame as to be of advertising value to the growers who use our 
plants in their fields is indeed sraLifying, and we appreciate it highly. For the benefit of our patrons we reproduce the label.
