R. M. KELLOGG'S GREAT CROPS OF 
THE FOLLOWING LETTERS 
Are but Sampler of ilany Hundreds Received from Correspondents. 
G, S. Crissey, Editor of ''Fruti,'' New Kbr*.— Your ideas 
are sound. I speak the more confidently because I have 
put them to a test on my own grounds. I am simply in- 
debted to you for raising my strawberry yield from two 
thousand to ten thousand quarts per acre. Berries grown 
after your directions brought twelve cents per quart when 
others were bringing only eight cents. 
A. IValrath, Holt Co., Nebraska,—! am so pleased witb 
the plants received during the past four years that I send 
you another order. As to the berries, they lay in heaps on 
the bed and crowded each other for room to grow iu. They 
are so large, bright and juicy! They cannot be beat for 
quantity and quality and the demand for Ihera cannot be 
supplied. As for your raspberries, I cannot praise them 
too much. 
J. A. Griffin, Oakland Co., Ark.—l had the finest straw- 
berries last year that you ever saw from plants bought of 
you. I do not believe you ever raised finer ones with all 
your experience. I had 550 quarts from 450 plants. 
Geo. Rhoads, Allen Co., Kansas.—TlxQ order I enclose is 
evidence that the plants I received of you did splendid, 
and that I am pleased with results. I was laughed at for 
sending so far away for plants, but now it is my turn to 
laugh. 
Prof. A. T. Giddings, Keene Co., Texas.~l have been 
experimenting and my conclusions force me to the recog- 
nition of the vas't superiority of your strawberry plants 
over any other grower. We have set much stock from dif- 
ferent southern growers who can furnish it cheaper at first 
cost, but it is much more expensive in the long run for they 
do not respond to good care as yours do. 1 felt a statement 
of this kind was due you. 
C D. Rogers, Bayfield Co., fl^is.—l shall send to you for 
plants agaiu this spring. I want strawberries that will 
put coin in my pockets like the plants you sent me two 
years ago. By the way, I have an acre of the finest black- 
berries that ever grew — from the plauts you sent me. 
T. C. fohnson, Weber Co., Ulah.—Onr raspberries did 
finely. They are a wonder to all who have seen them. I 
enclose an order for a neighbor and hope he will be as well 
pleased as I have been. 
T. IV. Cummings, Orleans Co., ^7 — Three years ago I 
ordered 1,000 strawberry plants of you. The fruit was a 
revelation to Derby folks. Such fruit as our plants pro- 
duced was not to be found on the market. Now I want to 
try your stock again and enclose an order for this spring. 
A.D. Havenhill, Kendall Co., III.— I send you a snap 
shot of one hill of blackcaps fourteen mouths old. You 
will notice the enormous bunches of fruit and the entire 
row was loaded in the same way. The grape vines were 
worth twice as much as those I got of another firm. 
Thomas A. Peake, Hardin Co., A'ji;.— The plants I bought 
of you came all right and were in splendid condition. 
Every one is living and doing nicely. To say I am pleased 
with them is putting it mildly. The truth is I am delighted 
with them. All of my grapes, currants, blackberries and 
raspberries, except seven or eight of the last named, are 
doing finely. I want to have the boss berry patch of the 
neighborhood, and I know I will if I can' have the boss 
berry grower of the country to direcl and advise me. A 
party near here put out several thousand ' cheap" plants 
this spring. I would not take such plants as a gift. There 
is no comparison between his beds and mine. 
W. L. Meunet, Stvitzerland Co., fnd.— The plants did 
wonders. The berries were fine in every way and held up 
in size to the last. I shall renew my propagating beds 
from your stock again this spring. 
C. R. Ryland, Ashland Co., Ohio.— Tle&se send your 
catalogue to my son. I do not want him to use anything 
but your Pedigree Plants. I got plants from you three 
years ago and they bore the largest and best berries to be 
seen in this part of the country. People wanted to know 
how I could grow such berries. It was the talk all over 
the county. I give your Pedigree Plants the credit of ray 
success. 
/. T. Baldwin, Washington Co., Penn.— From the plants 
I received of you I had berries ten days after other people 
were out, and the last I sold at 25 cents per quart. The 
other fruit growers had to acknowledge I had the finest 
berries in the market. I will send for plants again this 
spring. 
y. B. Graham, IVarren Co., Ry.—Two years ago we 
bought five thousand strawberry plants of you, which was 
our third annual order, and followed your directions as 
close as possible. We picked a large crop of fine berries 
and although we had had no experience in the berry busi- 
ness, and the market was crowded more than ever known 
before, we disposed of our crop at a good price. Thanks 
to your instructions. 
B, B. Adams, Daviess Co.^ Mo. — Find enclosed an order 
for more of your pedigree plants. Five years ago I bought 
my first plants from you, from which I obtained the nicest 
berries I ever raised. Your methods of propagation and 
cultivation are certainly correct, as the results I have had 
with your plauts fully demonstrate. 
P, B. Peck, Summit Co., OA^'o.— Your mode of propagat- 
ing plants is all right. I would rather have five hundred 
of your plants to make money with than one thousand of 
any other grower. 
C. E. Palmer, Niagara Co., N. K,— Although the last 
season was very hot and dry, my berries were remarkably 
large and of uniform size. Your Pedigree Plants are all 
right aud I am more than pleased with results. All who 
saw the beiries from these plants said they were the finest 
in Niagara county, and on the Niagara Falls market they 
took the cake. I want more plants this spring. 
B. F. Winters, Bollinger Co., Mo. — I must say that the 
plants received from you were the finest I ever saw and 
produced the finest berries ever seen in this country. 
Many were seven inches in circumference. 
J. O. Wallace, Madtson Co,, N. Y. — Two years ago I sent 
to you for strawberry plants, I set 400 ana picked fifteen 
bushels of the finest berries ever seen in this section. I 
sold them for twelve cents per quart when others were 
getting from five to seven cents. People would stop when 
riding past to see them, and would have some of the ber- 
ries. Everybody said they had never seen anything like 
them and did not suppose such berries could be grown, I 
gave them your address and they will send for plants. 
5. Craft, Appanoose Co., Iowa, — Find enclosed an ordel 
for plants. I have been getting plants of you for severa 
years and I find them far superior to those propagated in 
the ordinary way. Some of the strawberries measured two 
inches in diameter. The natives were surprised and won- 
dered how I could grow strawberries three times as large 
as my neighbors. 
Elias Carpenter, Kane Co., Ill,— I am more than pleased 
with the plants I got of you last spring. The vines hung 
full of the largest and nicest berries that were ever in this 
town. They set the people almost crazy. I could have 
/.A. Stearns, Rensselear Co. N. V.— I have a plat of 
strawberries that I received from you and grew them in 
hedge row and I have lots of plants that measure fourteen 
inches in diameter. I have followed your mode of cultiva- 
tion. I expect a great crop. 
B. P. Drummond, Lee Co., III. — I enclose picture of my 
strawberry patch grown from your plants received last 
spring. I never saw the like before. The reason is I never 
got any of Kellogg's Pedigree Plants before. 
Isaac Lehiner, St. foseph Co., Mich.—l started a bed of 
strawberry plants received from you six or seven years ago 
and I was astonished at the splendid results. Will want 
more this year. 
William Sanderson, Shelby Co., Tenn. — I purchased my 
plants three years ago of you and I now have over five acres 
in good bearing condition. I have followed the directions 
in your catalogue. Your plant setter has given perfect satis- 
faction. I consider it the best tool ever invented for the 
purpose. 
E. B. Dickson, Cayuga Co., A. K— The plants I pur- 
chased from you were planted on one-half acre of ground 
and the past season I picked 3,700 quarts of the finest berries 
ever seen iu this county. Some varieties yielded at the rate 
of ten thousand quarts to the acre. I cared for them accord- 
ing to your directions after picking season clo.sed and the 
plants now look as promising as they did a year ago. 
T W. Minesinger, Hancock Co., W. I^a.— The straw- 
berry plants we got of you two years ago were the finest 
we ever received and we had the finest berries tnat went 
to our market.
