THE photo-illustrations which follow, to- 
gether with the descriptive matter that 
accompanies each variety shown, are given 
with a view to informing our patrons concerning 
the nature, habits and characteristics of the sev- 
hacf: 
reproduced a typical berry and plant of each, 
the engraver has artistically reproduced the pho- 
tographer's work, and the printer has brought 
them out in the best manner known to the 
typographic art. The descriptive matter has 
been prepared in the most painstaking manner 
and correctly sets forth the performance and 
results of the varieties as time, experience and 
observation have revealed them. We are confi- 
dent our patrons will find in this information an 
important aid, not only in making intelligent 
selection, but in securing for themselves most 
important results. That many of those who 
have used Kellogg' s Thoroughbred Pedigree 
plants have found them incomparably fine and 
productive the numerous letters which appear 
in these pages eloquently testify. 
Kellogg's Thoroughbreds Beat All Others 
MRS. MARY MOYER of Devils Lake, 
Mich., writes under date of July 12, 1906, 
as follows: "In regard to Kellogg' s Thorough- 
bred strawberry plants I will say that there are 
none better. I have bought plants of two dif- 
ferentnurseries, buttheir plants did not grow the 
number of berries or as nice ones as I have got- 
ten from Kellogg' s. This year we picked 1,000 
quarts from less than one-third acre, and people 
give us the honor of having the nicest berries 
they ever saw. I wish the Kellogg Co. the 
best of success. " . 
Michel's Early. B. (Male.) 
EXTRA EARLY. Bisexual. One of the 
oldest in cultivation and a general favorite. 
Berries are of medium size, and evenly colored 
crimson; varied in form, some being nearly 
top-shaped, while others ' are 
round — a difference that only in- 
creases their beauty in the box. 
Surface is rather dry, making it a 
splendid shipper; meat is solid and 
flavor is very rich and mild. It is 
one of the best table berries of the ' 
extra earlies. Foliage is tall, liglit 
green, with rather long leaves; is 
a great runner maker, but when ,,. . ,, 
restricted to narrow rows they de- 
velop a big crown system. The bloom is 
heavy with rich pollen, making it a splendid 
mate for pistillates. Set plants twehty-four inches 
apart in the row. Grow in single-hedge row, 
and do not allow them to mat too thickly. This 
is the sixteenth year of selection and restriction 
in our breeding beds, with each year showingan 
increase in sales. 
Sold $172 Worth From Her Patch 
'T'HE success attained by the women who grow 
* Kellogg' s Thoroughbreds is one of the 
most gratifying experiences of our company. 
And it is quite universal. Mrs. Morgan of 
Eau Claire, Mich., writes us under date of 
July 2, 1906, as follows; "Our patch contains 
about three-quarters of an acre, and we have 
taken 165 cratee from it this season, which 
netted us $172 in cash, although our plants were 
injured in the wiiiter. I claim this patch for my 
own, so it shows what a woman can do in straw- 
berry culture. Am glad to say tliat I am a 
member of your Corres])ondence School and a 
subscriber to The Strawberry, and I get lots of 
good help from them." Good plants to start 
with, and complete ii:structions just at the right 
time, make success certain, large and satisfactory.
