GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM

»T<HIS field of Kellogg plants was set out In the early spring of 1913 on the grounds of S. D. Newman of 
A Syracuse. Neb. Mr. Newman lives In the region where some form of irrigation is necessary and is carry- 
ing on a very interesting experiment with sub-irrigation. The photograph from which this illustration is 
made was taken during the fruiting season of 1914. and although there was no rain from .Tune 7th until 
September 14th. 1913. it would be difficult to find anywhere a more thrifty lool<lng lot ot plants than are 
here shown. In 1912 Mr. Newman harvested 196 quarts of berries from a patch of Senator Dunlaps only 
18x20 feet in size, or at the rale of 27.000 quarts per acre, suggesting the possibilities of this great field. 
ports received from those who have pur- 
chased and grown the Kellogg strain of 
Americus, Superb, Progressive and Pro- 
ductive plants during the seasons of 1913 
and 1914. 
That these plants are as reliable and as 
fixed in quality and haljit as are the standard 
varieties is no longer to be doubted, and our 
confidence in them is so great that we have 
grown them in ample numbers for the 191.5 
trade, and do not hesitate to advise our 
patrons to set as generously of them as 
purse and area of land will permit. We are 
confident that the profits from these plants 
will be very lai'ge, and the service to the 
public even larger — for the world never tires 
of good strawberries, and always has a warm 
place in its big heart and money in its 
purse for those who grow them. 
A Thousand Dollars An Acre 
r^OL. ROLAND MOKHILL, one of the 
^ best-known horticulturists in the United 
States, recently visited our branch farm at 
Twin Falls, Idaho. ITis visit was a most 
timely one, for just then we were gathering 
ever-bearing strawberries by the bushel, and 
Col. Morrill tells us that the scene was one 
the like of which he never before had had the 
pleasure of witnessing. He was especially 
impressed with the quality of the fruit, both 
as to flavor and size, and never before had 
he seen such a superabundance of beautiful 
strawberries. "Any man," said Col. Morrill 
in reporting his ob.?ervations to us, "who 
knows anything about strawberry culture 
ought easily to make a thousand dollars an 
acre each season from such fields as I saw 
on your farms at Twin Falls. I was espe- 
cially struck with the tremendous productive 
powers of the Superb and Progressive ever- 
bearing plants. They open up a vast field 
to intelligent horticulture, and I am con- 
vinced that we have Just begun to appre- 
ciate the influence of these latter-day origi- 
nations upon the strawberry world as a 
whole." 
Science Confirms the Kellogg 
Idea 
•OECENTLY we have had a striking 
■'•^ confirmation of the Kellogg theories 
regarding the methods essential to the 
piopagation of strawberry plants that not 
only check tendencies toward deterioration, 
hut which positively aid in improving the 
plants and to increase their productiveness.
