GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
Copyright 1914, by R. M. Kelliigg: Co., Throe Rivers, Mich. 
OUR TESTING AND SELECTION BED AT CANBV, OREGON 
J^ELLOGG plants grown in Idaho anrl Oieson receive the same care In the matter ot ."ielection and restric- 
tion as do tho.se srrown at Three Klver.s. The above scene illustrates the health and vigor of our western- 
grown plants. It was from this Oregon farm that we shipped an entire carload of plants in the season of 
1314 to a single customer m California. He ordered more than 50,000 additional plants after receiving a carload. 
Kellogg's Great Branch Farms in the West 
THE increasing interest shown by our 
friends in the Kellogg branch farms lo- 
cated at Twin Falls, Idaho, and Canby, 
Oregon, finds expression, not only in a flood of 
appreciative letters, but in increasingly large 
orders. One California customer alone ordered 
in 1914 a full carload of our Oregon-grown 
plants, involving nearly 500,000 plants, and 
after their arrival sent us a large additional 
order, saying: ''Car arrived in good shape, and 
plants were surely fine. Am so well pleased 
with them that I am sending another order for 
50,000 additional plants." This was a tribute 
to Kellogg quality and methods of handling 
orders that was most gratifying. 
Not only is our business growing at both 
farms, but we are glad to be told that our plants 
have created new and increasingly larger fields 
because of the extraordinary results our West- 
ern friends are getting from their strawberries. 
Higher prices and better yields always follow 
the introduction of Kellogg plants in any terri- 
tory, and this has been true to a remarkable 
degree in the vast section supplied by our West- 
ern farms. 
Not the least interesting fact is that the ever- 
bearing plants seem to take to that part of the 
country in a very remarkable way, and in re- 
sponse to the growing demand we have this 
year produced an increasing number for that 
trade. No one can afford to leave the ever- 
bearers out — they do all and more than we 
claim for them. 
Women in the Strawberry Field 
ONE element in the growth of our business 
is the steadily increasing number of 
women who grow Kellogg's strawberries, and 
the splendid success they are making of Ihe 
work. All over this great land of ours the 
work is being carried forward — some for 
pleasure, others as a means of earning "pin 
money"; but the greater number go about the 
work with the serious purpose of gaining a 
livelihood. What other field offers a more 
generous invitation? We know ot no other 
task that lends itself so naturally to the femi- 
nine mind and muscle than does the work of 
growing strawberries for market, and there 
certainly is nothing else that opens up so wide 
a field or such possibilities of profit. 
We do not have to prove the truth of these 
statements, for we can bring so much testi- 
mony from the women themselves as to con- 
vince the most skeptical that all we say about 
it is more than realized in the cases of many 
of our own customers, a few of whom we take 
pleasure in quoting as to their own experi- 
ences: 
Osage, Iowa. .Tuly 19, 1914. — It gives me pleas- 
ure to report how the plants purchased from you 
in 191.3 "panned" out. I .set 1,000 plants — .500 each 
of Warfield and Bederwood. Never have I seen 
such vines and so heavily loaded with berries as 
they were. Not only did they yield well, but they 
commanded the highest prices I ever received. 
My berries brought 18 cents a quart when others 
sold for l.") cents, and from the thousand plants 
I sold $113.70 worth of berries. 
Miss E. A. Hendry. 
Bowling Green, Ky., July 9, 1914. — Your plants 
I set this year are wonders to men who drive 
over the county when they compare them to the 
plants grown in many fields where i>lant3 were 
bought through the Association and planted many 
weeks before those that came from your farm. 
While our last rain fell May 8th — 62 days ano — 
yet many runners have made and some of them 
have roots two inches long. 
Miss Hattie Grider. 
Ellensburg, Wash., Dec. 30, 1913. — It gives me 
pleasure to state that the thousand plants I pur- 
chased from your company in 1912 yielded in 1913
