Bederwooc, B. (Ma>e.) 
MEDIUM EARLY. Bisexual. Produc- 
tive and beautiful, this variety grows steadily in 
popular favor. Berries are medium-size, of a 
delicate crimson color, set with deep yellow 
seeds and having a glossy sur- 
face. The calyx is small, lies 
close to the berry and adds 
to the dainty appearance of the 
fruit. The inner part is a rich 
red, shading to cream near the 
heart, and these features, com- 
bined with a flavor of great 
richness and delicacy makes it 
a favorite with the high-class 
trade. Foliage is dark green, 
Bed.nvood rather tall , and has a long nar- 
row leaf. Koots extend deeply 
into the soil, making it strong in a dry season, and 
it enjoys an extra-long blooming period. Set 
plants twenty-four inches apart in the row and 
grow in the double-hedge row. We know 
that it will repay many fold all that is spent 
for it in the way of manure. Our con- 
fidence is based upon twenty years of selection 
and testing of this variety on the Kellogg farms 
Nothing But Kellogj's Plants Suits Him 
OREGON has some of the best strawberry 
growers in the world. One of them is H. 
B. Steward, proprietor of The Highlands Fruit 
Farm at IVIyrtle Point, Ore. Mr. Steward 
writes us under date of July 9, 1906, as follows: 
^'In a period of four years I have purchased 
plants from several different firms, but the Kel- 
logg Pedigree plants are the first and only ones 
that have met my idea of what a strawberry 
plant should be. I set 5,000 of the Pedigree 
plants in April of this year, and they are mak- 
ing a remarkably vigorous growth, notwith- 
standing the season is unfavorable, owing to 
climatic conditions. Anyone desiring straw- 
berry plants will make no mistake in purchasing 
the Kellogg Pedigree plants." 
Hummer, B. (Male.) 
MEDIUM EARLY. Bisexual. A new va- 
riety of great promise. When one sees th'» 
plant with its abundant foliage dotted thickly 
with big red berries, "Isn't it a hummer!" in- 
voluntarily springs to the lips. 
This variety was first discovered 
some thirty miles north of the ' 
Kellogg farms, and though we 
have tested its fruiting qualities 
only on spring-set plants, it has 
won our admiration and confi- 
dence, and we have no hesitancy 
in adding it to our list. Berries 
are extra large, quite round in 
form, attractive in color and rich 
in flavor. It is a good yielder, nmnmor 
and its record where grown in 
past years proves it to be a good shipper. Fo- 
liage is light green, growing tall, and there is 
good balance between fruit and foliage. The 
Hummer is a medium plant maker, producing a 
stocky and hardy plant with broad leaves. 
Runners form their first nodes about a foot 
from the mother plant, making it easily handled 
in the fruiting bed. Set the plants twenty-four 
inches apart in the row, and allow enough run- 
ners to set to form a double-hedge row. _ All 
strawberry loversshould try some of this variety. 
Although a new one, the price has been fixed so 
low that any grower may well afford to order 
enough to give it a thorough test. And we are 
sure that all who do so will become as enthus- 
iastic about it as we are. 
Kellogg Plants Beat His Own 
CHARLES LUNT, of Pine Grove Farm, 
South Lincoln, Mass. , whose fine patch is 
illustrated on page 14 of this book, writes us 
under date of July 9, 1906: "Last spring I set 
mostly of my own plants, but I must admit that 
the plants I received from you are showing up 
better than my own, and I am very much pleased 
with them."
