GREAT CROPS OP STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
R. M. Kellogg Co., Three Rivers, Mich. 
Crescent, P. (Female) 
MEDIUM EARLY. Pistillate. The Crescent is an 
old standby, and enjoys universal popularity. For 
twenty-four years we have been propagating this great 
pistillate, and our strain is noted the country oyer for 
its strength and general excellence. The berries are 
medium size, with rather broad wedge shape, tapering 
to an obtuse point. The flesh is solid and close 
grained, thus making an ideal shipper. Seeds are 
bright yellow, running to brown on the darker side 
and extending prominently. It has a single calyx 
that spreads out straight, and its stem is slender and 
neat. The flesh of the berry is a rich red around the 
edges, shading down to a lighter color as it approaches 
the center. The fruit is very juicy and possesses a 
tart but delicious flavor. As a canner it ranks very 
high, and as a market berry it has few superiors, as 
it adds to its other fine qualities that of being a heavy 
producer. 
Dairying and Strawberries 
rO OTHER fertilizer is of greater value 
than the droppings from highly fed dairy 
cattle, and the dairyman can add greatly to 
his income by growing an acre or so of straw- 
berries. Great quantities of the berries could 
be sold without a cent of additional expense 
by taking them to your regular milk custom- 
ers. And what more appropriate and sug- 
gestive sign could a dairyman have than 
STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM 
A great inany women depend for their 
"pin" money upon some side line. Some 
farmers' wives use up the product of several 
cows and make and market butter to secure 
the cash they need. Why not use the fer- 
tilizer from the cow sheds to make a small 
piece of ground rich and productive and grow 
strawberries that will command the highest 
market price? Those who have tried this 
now make strawberries their principal product, 
and butter-making has become a side issue.

Bederwood, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM EARLY. Bisexual. This variety grows 
in popularity, and during the twenty-two years of its 
selection and testing on our farm our confidence in it 
has steadily increased. Bederwood produces a me- 
dium-sized berry of delicate crimson color, with glossy 
surface and deep, yellow seeds. The flesh is red, 
shading down to a rich cream near the center. Its 
high color and delicious flavor make it especially 
attractive with high-class trade, and as a table berry 
it cannot be excelled. The housewife finds it to be 
one of the best varieties for preserving in different 
forms for winter use. The calyx is small, lying close 
to the fruit, and its whole appearance is neat and 
dainty. It is an exceedingly heavy producer and of 
fine form, which makes it popular among commercial 
growers everywhere. Famous for its long blooming 
season and its great strength in pollen, it stands 
among the leaders as a fertilizer for pistillates. 
There is less work and more pleasure in work- 
ing among the strawberries, and the profits 
from the same investment of time and labor 
are far and away in favor of the strawberry 
patch.
