GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM

PLANTS THAT GREW STRAWBERRIES AT THE RATE OF 9,000 QUARTS PER ACRE 
THIS scene represents a portion of the very well-cared-for strawberry patch of Delbert Neese of Whites- 
town, Ind. The entire patch occupies 42x112 feet, and from this small plot Mr. Neese grew 850 quarts 
of fancy berries composed principally of Senator Dunlap and Bubach. That the plants were extraordinarily 
line Mr. Neese remarks in his letter, and reports that out of the 900 plants delivered all but thirteen grew 
to perfection. This is a typical record of Kellogg plants. They are bred for service and honor their breeding. 
better endeavor — these have been ours to en- 
joy and from them we have drawn pleasure 
and encouragement. It would be unfair to 
them if we did not render here some ac- 
knowledgment of our obligations. And it 
would be quite as unfair to ourselves if we 
failed to take account of those side-lights of 
trade in which the' personal element for the 
moment succeeds to dry business routine. 
One New Yorlc woman who is thoroughly 
interested in strawberry growing, but whose 
time is greatly preoccupied with her mani- 
fold duties, appears to be almost glad that 
"An accident has given me the long-coveted 
opportunity," to quote from her letter, "of 
having a chat regarding my strawberries." 
And she proceeds to tell in a most entertain- 
ing manner of her experience with six of the 
Kellogg varieties, concluding as follows : 
"Chesapeake — big, beautiful, delicious, spicy 
— all of the best qualities rolled up in one 
handsome, perfect berry. Strong, sturdy 
stems; rich, green, abundant foliage, and the 
best drought resistor !" And so on, through- 
out the list of her plants, her comments are 
valuable, aiding us not a little to be of 
service to other customers as well as to her- 
self. 
And from another woman who finds her 
strawberries a source of keen delight, comes 
a list of names of her friends with request 
that we mail to each of them a catalogue, 
and expressing the hope that they "may be- 
come customers of yours. Your plants 
which I purchased thi'ee years ago have pro- 
duced the finest flavored berries we ever 
have tasted." 
"I had the pleasure of buying plants from 
you in 1903, when in Texas," writes W. Gar- 
land Brown, a member of the New York 
Stock Exchange, "and in 1905-OG in Okla- 
homa, and now wish to try tliem in New 
York. Needless to say, I know -what service 
your plants give. I would not have any 
others." This letter suggests the universal 
success of our plants, and is typical of hun- 
dreds of letters we receive annually from 
those who, no matter wliere their habitation 
may be or how often they change their abid- 
ing place, never fail to have Kellogg Pedigree 
plants follow them. 
And from generation to generation mem- 
bers of the same family continue the "Kel-
