GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
Copyright 1914, by R. M. Kellogg Co., Three Rivers, Micli. 
WARREN, ONE OF THE NEW ORIGINATIONS OF QUALITY 
■yHIS splendid variety is, to use his own language, "the last and best" origination ot the late S. H. Warren 
ol Aunurnaale Mass. Mr. Warren was famous as a strawberry grower and originator for fltty-eight 
jears. and no other man has done more for strawberry improvement in the line of originating and <iis- 
seminating valuable varieties than he. We therefore take great pleasure in presentini- to our patrons this 
^!!!^«^ > J^i plants purchased direct from Mr. Warren during his lifetime, and we arc 
connaent that his own experience will be repeated in the case of our customers who purchase "Warren" 
Plants. One expert in strawberries who visited Mr. Warren's home plot reports: "During the summer o 
It was my good fortune to see the 'Warren' in fruit on Mr. Warren's ground, and the splendid crop o 
large, luscious.^^ highly colored and uniform-shaped berries was an inspiration to anyone interested in straw

. - . , nigniy colored and uniform-shaped berries was an inspiration to anyone interested in straw 
nerry growing. The plants are exceedingly vigorous, with strong, leathery foliage of dark green The 
calyx IS of light green, and adds greatly to the attractiveness of this extraordinary variety. "Warren" won 
the silver medal at the Ma.ssachusetts Horticultural Show in 1912 — a tribute to its qualities of highest value 
and of Itself a guaranty of preeminence and fruiting power. Grown only at Three Rivers. "Warren." by the 
way. IS medium-early as to season, and is a powerful bisexual. Don't fail to give this variety a thorough test. 
sold at wholesale at 12]/^ cents each, or at 
¥1.50 per hill. 
Let us assume that each hill produces only 
five melons and that the price averages 5c 
each. This would give 25c per hill, and 1,700 
hills per acre would give $425. We give these 
figures to show how conservative we are in 
estimating the net profit at $300 per acre in 
five months from planting. Five acres planted 
to "Hearts of Gold" cantaloupes and straw- 
berries will make more money than the most 
of farmers are now making from 160 acres in 
farm crops. The melons begin ripening about 
the middle of July and continue to ripen 
throughout Aui?ust and September. Here at 
Three Rivers the last picking was made last 
year October 15th. 
As the "Hearts of Gold" is a trade mark 
duly registered in the patent office at Washing- 
ton, we are selling the seed under the following 
agreement arranged between Col. Morrill and 
the R. M. Kellogg Company, and the public 
is hereby warned that Col. Morrill will prose- 
cute anyone else offering his seed for sal3, 
or for in any other way infringing upon his 
rights by the use of his name. The seed of the 
Hearts of Gold, therefore, may be procured 
from no other source than the R. M. Kellogg 
Company, as we have the exclusive right to 
sell the seed of this wonderful cantaloupe. 
Following is the contract: 
THIS IS TO fERTIFY, That l" have made 
arrangements with the R. M. Kellogg Company 
of Three Rivers. Mich, under which that com- 
pany has the evolusive right to sell seed of my 
•'Hearts of Gold" cantaloupe, and that seed of 
this variety may be purchased from no other 
source. Any person offering for sale canta- 
loupe seed under the name of "Hearts of Gold" 
will be prosecuted, as tlils name is protected by 
copyright and trade-mark, wliich applies to both 
seed and melons. 
Under this agreement the price has been fixed 
by me as follows: 
Seed for one acre, $8.00; one-half acre, $4,50; 
one-fourth acre, $2.50; family garden, $1.00. 
The seed will he put up in the sl/.e packages 
as indicated above, and will not be sold in less 
riuantities. Under no circumstances may the 
R. M. Kellogg Company deviate from this sched- 
ule. 
Let me say that any strawberry grower who 
will plant an acre or more of these cantaloupes 
never will regret doing so. "Hearts of Gold" 
cantaloupes and strawberries make an Ideal 
combination. 
(Signed) ROLAND MORRILL. 
The "Hearts of Gold" cantaloupe is a beau- 
tifully netted melon of large size averaging 
twice as large as the "Rocky Ford" variety. 
The meat is of deep golden color. The flavor 
is rich, sweet and delicious, and when all of 
the flesh is eaten the rind is nearly as thin 
as a potato peeling. Every melon Is a good 
one and when a customer once tastes the 
"Hearts of Gold" he will come back for more. 
The "Hearts of Gold" always is sold on its own 
merits and never in competition with other 
cantaloupes. 
Strawberry Plants Do Not Mix 
<<TT7'ILL not different varieties mix when 
VV set in close proximity one with the 
other?" Is a question that comes to us hun- 
dreds of times each season. 
Strawberries will not mix any more than 
different varieties of apples set out in the same
