soils of Illinois, is pretty good evidence 
that it is destined to be a universal fa- 
vorite. 
We have only one regret, and that is 
that we did not set a larger acreage to 
the Kellogg's Premier plants; but we 
have decided to set in 1915 a larger acre-, 
age to this variety than to any other 
early variety we have listed. We will do 
this because we are confident that Kel- 
logg's Premier is without doubt the 
most wonderful early variety ever orig- 
inated and that, after it has been tested, 
it will be more largely planted by grow- 
ers throughout the country than any 
other early variety. 
Kellogg's Premier gives us the best 
and most profitable early variety ever 
originated, while Kellogg's Prize is 
without doubt the most wonderful late 
variety ever introduced. We are now 
seeking for an extra-early variety that 
will outclass all other varieties of this 
season, and we make a standing offer 
of $1,000 for a fall-bearer that will sur- 
pass any other fall-bearing variety now 
on the market. This will give us a quar- 
tet of the most wonderful varieties ever 
known, and our quest will not cease 
until we do secure this quai-tet. 
Our Wonderful Ever-Bearers 
TN this connection we desire to call 
special attention to the varieties 
known as ever-bearing, or fall-bearing 
plants. The first of these remarkable 
plants, that seem destined to revolution- 
ize the strawberry world and increase 
beyond measure the production of this 
fruit, was discovered growing on the 
plantation of Samuel Cooper of New 
York in 1899. It was fortunate that 
this gift of nature came to one so well 
fitted by training and experience to de- 
velop the few plants into something des- 
tined to perform such large service. Mr. 
Cooper called his discovery the "Pan- 
American," and from that variety, of 
little value so far as fruit quality is con- 
cerned, has sprung a noble progeny, due 
to the devotion and scientific skill of 
such men as Mr. Cooper, Harlow Hock- 
hill of Iowa, Edwin H. Eiehl of Illinois, 
and the late S. IT. Warren of Massachu- 
setts, to all of whom we take pleasure in 
acknowledging the debt the world owes 
to them for results accomplished. 
Mr. Cooper's latest contribution of va- 
rieties of the ever-bearing sorts is com-
