A Barrel of Kellogg Thoroughbreds 
'\>|'R. S. A. METCALF, of Galveston, Indiana, sends us 
■'■'•I- a beautiful photograph from which the above half- 
tone engraving has been made, and in his letter says : "My 
crop of berries this year was very fine, and I won the 
reputation of having the finest berries on the Kokomo and 
Galveston markets. I sent some berries to Lafayette and 
Marion and received letters of congratulation concerning 
them, the writers asking how I could grow such fine berries 
in such dry weather. I replied that it was no trouble to grow 
big, red berries when Kellogg's Thoroughbred plants were 
used. To give you an idea of the abundant yield, let me 
say that Mrs. Cora Fresh picked 93 quarts, Mrs. Ella 
Loop picked 89 quarts, and Goldie Coulter (aged 15) 
picked 61 quarts, in just five hours and ten minutes. I 
have calls for lots of plants, but always refer them to you." 
Under the barrel system strawberries may be grown 
without a garden plot. Simply bore holes through the 
staves and fill the barrel with rich soil. Then set the 
plants in the top of the barrel, and in the holes in the 
sides, as shown in the illustration. Such a barrel makes a 
beautiful porch ornament or a fine feature on the lawn. 
rection may so large success be made by the 
woman who finds it necessary to support her- 
self and to rear her children, as in the pro- 
duction of high-grade strawberries. 
Any woman who would like to engage in 
this work, but is restrained from doing so be- 
cause of lack of experience, need not hesitate

all who desire us to do so to win large suc- 
cess in strawberry production.
