60 GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
E. M. Kellogg Co., Three Rivers, Mich. 
Parker Earle, B. (Male) 
LATE. Bisexual. One of the most universally popu- 
lar varieties, particularly famous because it is so pro- 
ductive on rich low land, under this particular cir- 
cumstance leading all other varieties; and a heavy 
producer everywhere. The berries are of medium 
size; bright-red color, so bright as to give the fruit a 
polished effect ; and this color extends through the 
berry. The flavor of Parker Earle is the delight of 
the epicure. It has large foliage and late blnom 
which insure it from danger of frost. The work of 
the grower is simplified in the case of this variety, 
because of the limited number of runners it makes, 
and it is an ideal variety for growing by the hill 
system. This is the twentieth year we have had 
Parker Earle under careful selection and restriction. 
Rough Rider, B. (Male) 
LATE. Bisexual. This variety becomes more uni- 
versally popular with the passing years. The berries 
are a glossy crimson in color, medium large as to size, 
and the illustration above gives exactly the form, 
from which there is but little variation. The crimson 
color extends to the center, and the fruit is rich and 
juicy. Rough Rider is quite productive, and one of 
its distinctive features is that it yields a better crop 
the second year of fruiting than it does the first year. 
The foliage is a dark green, with spreading habit, 
and easily is controlled in the fruiting bed because 
this variety forms so few runners. Rough Rider has 
been under our system of selection and restriction for 
ten years, and it is one of the varieties for which 
there is a regular and steadily increasing demand. 
Our New Device for Cutting Runners 
■pOR many years we have had calls for a runner 
cutter attached to a handle, so that the cutter might 
be used separately and apart from the cultivator. We 
have at last succeeded in getting up a device that 
exactly fills the bill. The cut shows the simplicity of 
operation. The operator can guide the cutter so that 
it will cut off all runners as desired, as it may be run 
as close to the row of plants as you wish. The cost 
of the runner cutter and handle complete is only $2.50, 
and we are sure it will save the price many times 
each season, to say nothing of the backaches that come 
from doing the work by hand. 
Runner Cutter without handle, $1.85.
