GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 51 
R. M. Kellogg Co., Three Rivers, Mich. 
Arizona, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM EARLY. Bisexual. Arizona comes more 
nearly being an ideal "double-cropper" tlian any 
other variety on our list. The term "ever-bearing" 
is always a misnomer, but some varieties do develop a 
second fruit-bud system and under favorable climatic 
conditions yield a crop of berries both in the spring 
and in the fall; and this Arizona frequently does. 
But aside from this desirable feature, it possesses 
merits so great that our friends of the northern lati- 
tudes have come to admire it greatly. It is a heavy 
producer of large-sized, deep-red berries, possessing a 
rich aromatic flavor. The foliage is dark green and 
of medium size. This is the seventh year we have 
had Arizona in our breeding beds, and we have care- 
fully employed mother plants for propagating pur- 
poses which show the strongest ever-bearing habit. 
Oklahoma Finds Thoroughbreds the Finest 
■II7R1TING from Lahoma, Okla., under date of June 
' 1, 1908, Amos Stoalbarger says: "The plants 
received from you this spring are doing fine — didn't 
lose a single plant. The plants I got two years ago 
from you have borne two fine crops of fruit — the finest 
I ever saw." 
Not a Plant Lost in a Journey of 2,000 Miles 
nPHE wonderful endurance of Kellogg Thorough- 
bred plants is proverbial. Cable Hauser, of Pen- 
ticton, British Columbia, writes us of the plants shipped 
him in the spring of 1908 as follows: "Strawberry 
plants arrived in good condition, and I have them 
planted and all are doing well. I must say we are 
surprised and pleased to have plants come 2,000 miles 
and every one growing. You may look for more orders 
for plants in the spring of 1909." 
Thoroughbreds a Big Success in North Dakota 
/^NCE in a while we get a letter from a customer in 
^ which it is asked if strawberries do well in the 
North. Evidently it is not generally known that the 
strawberry grows everywhere from the Arctic sea to 
Patagonia. The best answer we can give them is con- 
tained in such an experience as that reported by Mrs. 
S. J. Augustus, of Calio, N. D., who, writing us under 
Clark's Seedling, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM EARLY. Bisexual. This variety is a 
general favorite with the great commercial straw- 
berry growers on the Pacific Coast. It is a handsome 
berry, both as to form and color. The illustration 
above indicates its form, but no description can do 
justice to its deep, rich, red color, which extends clear 
to the center of the large and beautiful berry. It is 
famous both as a canner and shipper, and ranges 
very high among the varieties that produce tremen- 
dous yields of fruit. The foliage is medium large, is 
dark green in color and makes very strong runners. 
Wherever Clark's Seedling is grown it always brings 
good prices, and we are confident that every grower 
who adds them to his list of varieties will be greatly 
pleased with the results. This is the fourth year of 
selection and restriction in our breeding beds, and the 
more extensive our acquaintance with this noble 
variety, the more enthusiastic do we become concern- 
ing it. 
date of July 22, 1908, says: "The strawberry plants 
I received from you last spring (1907) are just bear- 
ing and are doing fine. The Senator Dunlap has given 
us some fine and delicious fruit — berries measuring as 
large as four inches, and quite as perfect as those 
shown in your fine pictures. The North Dakota peo- 
ple are glad to pay 25 cents a quart for home-grown 
strawberries. I have a large home fruit garden, but 
the strawberry patch is my favorite. I am glad to tell 
my friends that the R. M. Kellogg Co. is first in the 
United States in all that relates to strawberry plants." 
Plants and Principles Please Him 
■p W. MARTIN, of Hannibal, Ohio, writing under 
^' date of May 21, 1908, says: "Out of the 3,000 
plants, 'Thoroughbreds,' set this spring my loss so 
far, to the best of my knowledge, has not exceeded 
twelve plants. The remaining 2,988 plants are in fine 
condition, notwithstanding the unusually unfavorable 
weather conditions. The question most often asked by 
my friends is, 'Where did you get your plants?' I 
shall take great pleasure in recommending your plants 
and principles to my friends." 
Don't allow weeds and grasa to make their home among your plants.
