GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
Copyright 1914, by B. M. Eelloggr Co., Three Rivers, Mich. 
FENDAIL, lEMALIS OB PISTILLATE 
THE above halt tone of a Fendall berry is repre- 
sentative of the usual form of this remarkable 
pistillate. Origlnatea in Maryland, a seedling of the 
Wm. Belt, it has distinguished itself in thousands of 
flelds. scattered from Maine to California, during the 
eight years it has been before the public. It has a 
record of 16.S00 quarts to a single acre, which few 
varieties of either sex ever have excelled. There is 
no state in the Union in which this variety has not 
been grown with success. With such a record it is 
useless to urge its introduction into a still greater 
number of flelds, and it you never have grown Fendall 
It will pay you to try It out in 1915. Grown on all 
our farms. 
fruit. It isn't strange that this variety becomes 
immediately popul.ar once it becomes Itnown in a 
given locality. The foliage is quite as beautiful 
as the fruit. This is the sixteenth year we have 
bred this great bisexual. Grown at Three Rivers 
and Canby. 
XlondUie, B. (male) 
MEDIUM. Bisexual. The popularity of this va- 
riety steadily increases. Originating- in the South 
it was for a long time considered as a strictly 
Southern variety, but steadily it has advanced in 
popularity until today it is grown with large suc- 
cess as far north as the Straits of Macltinac and 
is becoming an almost universal favorite on the 
Pacific Coast and throughout the Inter-Mountain 
states. This variety is noted for its large yields 
of beautiful berries uniform in shape, rich blood- 
red in color and havinj; a flavor that is neither 
sweet nor sour, but mildly delicious; the berry 
is full of juice. This is the twelfth year we 
have offered this variety to customers, and we 
note a steady increase in its popularity. Grown 
at Three Rivers and Canby. 
Kiner Edward, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM-EARLY. Bisexual. Although of recent 
origination, this variety has won deserved fame 
over a very large part of the country, and while 
tills is only the second year we have offered this 
variety to our customers, we do so with full con- 
fidence that it will give large results in all cases 
where soil and climatic conditions are favorable. 
The variety is so very fine as to deserve a thor- 
ough testing out. The fruit is almost round in 
shape, is dark-red in color, delicious in flavor 
and of unusual uniformity as to size. Possessed 
of such a list of high qualities, we are sure that 
King Edward is to ranli very high among the 
practical strawberry growers of the country. 
Grown only at Three Uivers. 
ISolena, B. (Uale) 
EARLY TO LATK. Bisexual. Some years ago 
one of the extensive commercial strawberry 
growers of California called our attention to the 
Molena as a berry particularly adapted to that 
state, and very kindly sent us a number of plants 
for testing out. We have found this variety all 
our friend claimed for it and it is now winning 
notable success all along the Pacific coast. In 
fact, in the strawberry region lying south of 
the city of San Francisco it is a universal favor- 
ite, and we are confident that its popularity is to 
extend from the extreme south of California to 
northern British Columbia. Molena grows a 
berry rich crimson in color, the form varying, 
but the size of the fruit being uniformly large. 
In flavor it is rich and satisfying, and its yield 
of crops is excelled by few varieties. It is a pro- 
lific malter of long runners and is a strong pollen- 
izer. Molena is grown only at Canby. 
LATE VARIETIES 
Soman, B. (Male) 
LATE. Bisexual. For fifteen years we have 
bred this great variety, which is especially ap- 
preciated for its sut)-acid quality that renders it 
possible for the confirmed dyspeptic to freely 
partake of its fruit with impunity. In color the 
berries are dark-red on tlie upper side, shading 
to bright-red on the under side. The meat is for 
the most part deep pink, becoming almost white 
at the center. It grows generous crops, and 
never have %ve known anyone who did not enjoy 
its rich and delicious flavor. The berries are 
very large and belong distinctly in the fancy 
class. Grown only at Three Rivers. 
Brandywlne, B. (Male) 
LATE. Bisexual. Brandywine belongs to the 
list of tlie universal varieties that tlirive under 
all sorts of conditions of soil and climate. Added 
to this extraordinary quality is its beautiful 
berry, in color deep blood red to the center, the 
surface being imbedded with bright, yellow seeds 
so prominent as to make a beautiful contrast in 
color. The fruit possesses a flavor peculiar to 
itself and attracts and holds customers year 
after year. The productiveness of this variety 
equals its attractiveness as to size and beauty, 
rendering it very popular with commercial 
growers everywhere. This is the twenty-second 
year we have bred Brandywine under oiir meth- 
ods of selection and restriction, and we do not 
hesitate to place it among the very great varie- 
ties. Grown on all our farms. 
Stevens' Iiate Champion, B. (Male) 
LATE. Bisexual. During the seven years we 
have been growing tliis variety our confidence in 
its unusual value has steadily increased. One 
of its fine qualities is tlie universality of its 
habitat, as it is successfully grown in every 
state of the Union. Another quality of large 
interest is the fact that it is one of the latest 
varieties; and a tliird is tlie fact that it grows 
immense quantities of the finest market berries. 
Its late liloom renders it immune to late spring 
frosts, and it is in full fruit when many others 
of the later varieties have finished their fruiting 
season. Grown only at Three Rivers. 
Magfoon, B, (Male) 
LATE. Bisexual. This variety is particularly 
adapted to Pacific Coast and Inter-Mountain 
state conditions and is grown by us only on our 
farms at Twin Falls, Idaho, and Canby, Oregon. 
From the far western districts Magoon is shipped 
in carload lots to Chicago and other eastern 
markets after nearly all other varieties have quit 
fruiting. Magoon gro%vs large berries of very 
rich flavor and bright red from circumference to 
center. It is found to be especially valuable in 
Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. 
Sample, P. (Female) 
LATE. Pistillate. Sample is one of the heaviest 
yielders known, and to this very important 
quality is added that of beauty, this variety 
being famous for its exceedingly fine appearance 
on the market. Not only is it large of yield, 
but it is famous for its size of fruit, which is 
bright red and top-shaped, the narrow p.art being 
a very deep scarlet, and the meat rich and juicy, 
as well as highly flavored. The seeds turn red 
as the berries ripen, and so nearly resemble the 
color of tlie berry as to be scarcely visible. The 
stem and caly.x are small and remain a bright 
green for days after tlie berries have been picked.
