TWO OF OUR GREAT 
Pride of Michigan, B. (Male). 
LATE. Bisexual. From its very first appearance in the fields 
of the strawberry growers of this country. Pride of Michigan has 
taken a leading place among the late bisexual varieties. In form, in 
color, in size, in production, in flavor— indeed, in all the elements 
that go to make up a really great strawberry. Pride of Michigan 
stands unsurpassed. This variety was originated on the Kellogg 
farm, and in 1902, just eleven years ago. we began selecting plants 
and fruiting from this variety. However, we did not introduce it 
to our patrons until the season of 1905. Its extraordinary popu- 
larity today is a cause of great satisfaction to us, but it is entirely 
deserved. Our customers who have tested it thoroughly are now 
setting large acreage to this variety, and those who have no 
acquaintance with Pride of Michigan should delay no longer in 
Betting out a generous area to it. Pride of Michigan grows in 
every section of this continent with success, and our customers 
everywhere owe it to themselves to give it a trial. As a yielder 
of fancy fruit Pride of Michigan stands in a class by itself. The 
berries lie in windrows, and we have gathered in our testing plot 
several quarts of great, luscious berries without moving from 
place. It is a fine shipper, an excellent canner and never sells in 
competition with other berries, as the market is ready always to 
pay an extra price for berries of this variety. The meat is very 
firm and exceedingly rich, soh'd in texture, very smooth and in 
flavor it is unexcelled. The foliage of Pride of Michigan is very 
large and so is the bloom, which has the added advantage of being 
exceedingly rich in pollen. More than that, it has a long blooming 
season and is in consequence one of the most valuable varieties 
for mating purposes.
