A FINE TABLE BEKRY AND GREATEST OF THE CANNEKS 
WARFJELD is favorably known from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Gulf to Hudson's Bay, and 
combines so many excellent qualities that it wouUl be difficult to enumerate them all. It is a large, 
beautiful-shaped berry, with glossy dark-red exterior that does not fade or become dull after plckmg. This 
characteristic continues even after it Is preserved, which is one reason for its great popularity as a canner. 
The flesh is a rich dark-red clear to its center: it is very juicy and just tart enough to give it a fine relish. 
The neat, slender stem and green calyx join the berry in such a way as to form a short neck, which adds 
beauty to the fruit. As a shipper it has no superior, finishing a long journey with the same bright luster 
that marks it when picked freshly from the vines. An early berry, the Warfield has a very long fruiting 
season, yielding a large picking every day for several weeks. This is its twenty-seventh year In our breed- 
ing beds. Grown on all our farms. Every grower should order generously of this universally favored variety. 
Great Crops of Strawberries and How to Grow Them 
IN DESCRIBING the Kellogg way of grow- 
ing great crops of strawberries we shall do 
our best to make every detail of the work 
so plain that every man, woman, boy and girl 
may understand it, and it you will carefully 
read and study these cultural methods you 
will have no trouble in winning the same suc- 
cess that has made the name of Kellogg fa- 
mous throughout the world. And to emphasize 
this statement, let us say that when you follow 
the Kellogg Way you may be sure that you are 
on the right road to big crops of fancy fruit. 
No other crop thrives under neglect and 
unfavorable conditions like the strawberry. At 
the same time no other crop will produce so 
abundantly as strawberries grown under 
proper methods. 
During our thirty-one years' experience in 
this most delightful and profitable line of 
work we have learned that the big profits are 
made by growers who follow intensive cultural 
methods. It has been said that if it does not 
pay to do a thing well it does not pay to do 
it at all. This especially applies to the straw- 
berry business. Every town in this country 
offers a splendid opportunity for the up-to-date, 
far-sighted strawberry grower. There never 
yet has been enough fancy strawberries grown 
to supply the demand, and it requires less 
effort to sell fancy strawberries at a big price 
than it does to sell inferior fruit at a price 
that results in a loss to the grower. Govern- 
ment reports show that strawberries, when 
grown under proper methods, yield more dol- 
lars per acre and give quicker returns than 
any other crop. Growers who are following 
the Kellogg way are realizing from $500 to 
$1,200 per acre. 
Plant Quality cf First Importance 
ONE of the all-important features of straw- 
berry growing is plant quality. When we 
understand that runner plants inherit the char- 
acteristics of the mother plants which pro- 
duce them, we will then realize the importance 
of setting plants that have been produced by 
carefully selected and highly bred mother 
plants. 
Many growers make the mistake of taking 
plants from their fruiting beds, and many other 
growers buy cheap plants just because they 
cost less than highly bred plants. If you 
cannot afford to set the best plants the world 
produces, you cannot afford to set any plants 
at all.
