Tennessee Prolific, B. (Male.) 
EARLY. Bisexual. Prolific to a high de- 
gree of medium-large, bright crimson berries, 
in shape long and corrugated, with seeds that 
color up to red as the berries ripen. The flesh 
is fine-grained, of rich pink, 
with an unusual quantity of 
juice, and it is both an excel- 
lent canner and shipper. Its 
large and well-shaped calyx 
droops over the berry, making 
a pretty harmony in red and 
green. Foliage is tall, light 
green and of upright habit, 
with long heavy fruit stems, 
and when in full bloom the en- 
tire plant appears to be a mass 
of white, yellow and green. Is hardly excelled 
as a pollenizer. Its tendency to make runners 
causes plants to remain small in the propagating 
bed, but when restricted to the single-hedge 
row in the fruiting bed, it stools up to mammoth 
size. Grows well in any soil. This is the 
nineteenth year of this variety in our farms. 
Set plants thirty inches apart in the row. 
CE. BEEKLEYofWest Salem, Ohio, sends 
• us a photographof his patch of three-quar- 
ters of an acre of Kellogg plants (see illustra- 
tion on page 19 of this book). He believes 
that with another field set in 1906 he will have 
even greater results than are shown therein. He 
says in the course of an enthusiastic and kindly 
letter: "I have a patch that will make a good 
picture in October. It has broken and will break 
all records around here. It is simply out of sight ; 
that's what people tell me. Out of the 6,175 
plants you sent me I did not lose 100; they all 
grew fine, and they represent the greatest con- 
trast between some that I set from my own beds 
imaginable, the Pedigree fellows being twice as 
large as my own. They have convinced me that 
it pays to get only the best." 
Crescent, P. (Female.) , 
MEDIUM EARLY. Pistillate. Yields ber- 
ries of medium size, crimson in color, broad 
wedge as to shape, tapering to a blunt point. It 
has a close-grained surface and solid flesh, which 
makes it a popular shipping 
variety. Seeds are yellow, run- 
ning into brown on the darker 
side, and standing out prom- 
inently enough to make a fine 
contrast. Its calyx spreads out 
straight and its stem is neat and 
slender. The inner part is deep 
red about the edges, shading 
to a lighter color toward the 
center, and the meat is rich and 
juicy, with a flavor that bor- (■,.c.„i,„iit 
ders on tartness. Splendid both 
as a canner and shipper. Yield is very large, 
and a big picking may be had daily for about 
three weeks. Foliage is dark green, with up- 
right growth. Runners form abundantly, and 
it should be confined to the single-hedge, al- 
though it does beautifully in hills. Set plants 
thirty inches apart in the row. Twenty-two 
years in our breeding beds onlv have con- 
firmed our favorable impressions of the Crescent. 
Plants Loaded Down With Berries 
'T'HE record of our Dornans for 1906 has been 
* a proud one. A typical report concerning 
them is contained in the following letter written 
by Jonas F. Rudy of Penbrook, Pa., June 11, 
who says: "I have some of the finest berries I 
ever have seen, or anyone else around here. I 
have picked about forty quarts so far and the 
plants are loaded down with berries yet. And 
this is not a good year for strawlierries, either — 
berries have sold for 20 cents a box here. If I 
had the place I should have acres of these Dor- 
nans. They are fine. If ever I get in a posi- 
tion to increase my acreage, I shall surely get 
my plants from you."
