Climax, B. (Male.) 
EXTRA EARLY. Bisexual. One of the 
most beautiful benies ever grown — we wish we 
might show their rich dark-red coloring with 
the yellow seeds brightening their surface. 
The dark, red extends clear 
to the center, through firm 
flesh, rich and juicy. An 
extra-fine cainier, it also is 
ideal for market and an ex- 
cellent shipper. The calyx 
is small for so large a berry. 
The plants grow tall and 
erect, with leaves almost 
round, and of a waxy, dark 
green that fairly glistens. 
The berries are evenly dis- 
tributed throughout the 
vines, insuring a longer fruit- 
ing season. Wherever it has 
been seen in fruit, it has be- 
come a popular favorite. Grow Climax in 
double-hedge rows; set plants twenty-four inches 
apart in rows, and allow them to make six or 
eight runners, only spread them out well. This 
is the third year of selection in our breeding 
bed, and it proves anew its strong points with 
each succeeding season. 
Lawyers Like Kellogg's Plants »nd Methods 
AMONG theenthusiasticvotariesof the straw- 
berry are professional men — lawyers, doc- 
tors, preachers. Here is a note from Lee Card, 
an attorney of Chadron, Neor. , written under 
date of April 18, 1906: "My strawberry plants 
arrived in the very finest condition, and my wife 
joins me in thanking you for your goodness in 
the matter. There were a good many more 
plants than we looked for, and they were very 
fine in appearance." 
Haverland, P. (Female.) 
MEDIUM. Pistillate. A large and long 
berry of bright crimson, blended with light red 
on one side, rather full and round at the stem 
end, gradually tapering to a point; the seeds are 
a bright yellow and just prom- 
inent enough to make a hand- 
some appearance; the calyx falls'" 
gracefully over tke berry, which 
adds beauty as well as protection 
in shipping. The inner part is a 
rich pink, solid meat, quite juicy 
and with mild flavor. As a pro- 
ducer the Haverland is excelled 
by none. The foliage is rather 
tall, of spreading habit, with a 
long dark leaf, sends out large, 
stocky runners and makes strong, 
vigorous plants. The bloom is ' . 
medium sized and extremely niiv.n.m.l 
hardv, seldom hurt by frost. 
Set plants twenty-four inches apart in the row. 
The Haverland should be grown in double- 
hedge rows on medium rich soil. We have been 
breeding up the Haverland for seventeen years, 
and our strain of this variety has become so 
popular that it is difticult to grow enough plants 
to fill the increasing demand. 
Thoroughbreds are Thriving; Other Kindare--Dead 
MRS. EZRA HORNING of Appleton, 
Minn., writes under date of July 28, 1906, 
as follows: "Last spring 1 planted 150 of your 
strawberry plants. They are growing nicely. 
Layered the runners in a double-hedge row; 
the last were layered about the middle of July. 
Planted 200 plants from another nursery ; only 
eieht of these plants now are alive." That is a 
frequent contrast noted by our customers, and 
it is one of serious import to all strawberry folk.
