42 GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
R. M. Kellogg Co., Three Riven, Mich. 
Clyde, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM. Bisexual. This variety grows a very 
large berry, conical in shape. One side is a bright 
crimson, the other a deep, rich cream, blended with 
just enough pink to make it delicately beautiful. The 
fruit is regular in form and even in season, thus mak- 
ing the sorting of berries a very simple matter. The 
seeds are deeply imbedded in the flesh, coming even 
vfith the outer edge very seldom. The flesh is of rich 
pink, fine in texture and of delicate flavor, and this 
fruit is famous for retaining its flavor when canned. 
Added to these excellencies are the splendid shipping 
qualities of this variety. Not only does the Clyde 
grow a very large and fine berry; its prolificness is 
one of its strongest points, and this, added to its other 
qualities, makes it one of the favorites with the com- 
mercial grower. It has a long fruiting season, extend- 
ing frequently from extra early to very late, and the 
fine fruit continues up to the final picking. This is 
the fifteenth year of selection and breeding of the 
Clyde on our farms, and the constantly increasing 
acreage attests its growing popularity. 
"Great Crops" as a College Text Book 
■pOR several years our annual "Great Crops 
of Strawberries and How to Grow 
Them" has been used in the Agricultural 
Colleges of the country as a text book for use 
by classes in horticulture. Last year the num- 
ber of colleges using them was about thirty, 
and some of them requested and received as 
high as seventy-five copies of the book. We 
need not say that we are pleased to have the 
qualities of this book so highly appreciated by 
the men who are doing so much for advanced 
agriculture along all lines; it puts the stamp 
of approval of both the theoretical and the 
practical strawberry grower upon our meth- 
ods and instruction, and we have the satis- 
Wolverton, B. (Male) 
EARLY. Bisexual. The VVolverton is a large crim- 
son berry of the ideal strawberry sliape, as is shown 
in the illustration herewith, but beautiful as it appears 
in the picture it is even more so in actual reality. The 
upper side of the fruit colors up quite red when fully 
ripe, and the seeds also are darker on the under 
side, where they remain bright yellow in color. These 
beautiful contrasting colors give to the fruit a very 
attractive appearance, and when packed in the box 
it presents an ideal picture. Not only is the Wolver- 
ton beautiful in appearance, but it also is one of the 
richest berries grown, has a fine-grained flesh, pink 
in color, and a flavor mild and of unusual delicacy. 
The calyx is a double one, very heavy, and droops 
over the berries in such a way as to make them par- 
ticularly tempting when served with stems. It can 
scarcely be excelled as an all-round berry. Wolver- 
ton has been in our breeding beds for nineteen years. 
faction of knowing that the principles this 
company has .stood for in the face of fierce, 
and sometimes malignant, opposition, are now 
coming to be recognized as the only true basis 
for successful strawberry culture. In a note 
from Prof. F. C. Sears, of the Department of 
Pomology of the Massachusetts Agricultural 
Department, dated July 24, 1908, he kindly 
says: "I used your catalogs with my students 
last fall and found them very satisfactory in- 
deed." Kellogg waj's and Kellogg plants may 
alwa3's be relied upon as the best. 
Knows Where to Get His Plants 
Vy E. HERRICK, of Cattaraugus, N. Y., writes: "I 
• set 3,000 plants last spring from a cheap plant 
grower and practically every one of them died. I also 
set SCO of your Pedigree plants and every one lived. It 
was expensive, but I have found out where to get 
plants!"
