Clyde 
Clyde. 13. (Male.) 
MEDIUM. Bisexual. Berry extra large, 
cone-shaped with one side a bright crimson, the 
other a rich creamy color, with just enough 
pinic to malce it show off well. The inner part 
is of very fine texture, colored 
.with rich pinic, has a delicate 
taste and retains its natural 
fiavor when cainied; the ber- 
ries are firm and hold up well 
after being shipped. It is an 
exceedingly productive va- 
riety. The foliage is light 
green, with a spreading habit, 
ind has wonderful power in 
building up a big crown sys- 
tem. It should be grown in 
single or double hedge rows 
on soil made rich by working 
in plenty of manure. Culti- 
vate the plants until liglit freezing starts; this 
will force the vegetative parts. This is the 
thirteenth year of selection in our breeding bed, 
choosing mother plants that build up a large 
foliage and ideal fruit. 
7.208 Quarts of Berries to the Acre 
ELMER SMITH, the illustration of whose 
beautiful home patch at Urbana, Ohio, ap- 
pears on page 13 of this book, writes us under 
date of July 5, 1906: "All the plants in my 
garden are Kellogg's, and they are the finest 
plants I ever saw. One thing that impressed 
me was their freedom from disease. Berries 
produced by these plants were pronounced by 
all who saw them to be the finest in quality 
grown here this season. We kept an accurate 
account of the berries picked — there were 906 
quarts, and the space given them was less than 
one-eighth of an acre," or at the rate of more 
than 7,200 quarts to fhe acre. 
Clark's doodling 
plants to theii 
Clark's Seedling, B. (Male.) 
MEDIUM EARLY. Bisexual. One of the 
leading varieties on the Pacific coast. It is deep 
red to center, quite large and of beautiful form 
as shown in picture. It is a splendid canner 
and shipper; also very produc- 
tive. The foliage ij medium 
large, dark green, with spread- 
ing habit. Set the plants 
twenty-four inches apart in the 
row and spread the runners so 
as to make a wide, double- 
hedge; that is, give plenty of 
room in the center of the row, 
so each plant will have room 
to spread its foliage. Clark's 
Seedling always brings good 
prices wherever they aregrown, 
and we should like to have our 
customers add a few of these 
order. Any berry of this shape will show off 
better if placed with stems down. This is the 
second year we have had them in our breeding 
bed, and they are showing up finely. 
Our Wonderful Crown Builders 
'T'HE way our Thoroughbred plants get to 
work at once building up crowns is in- 
dicated in the following note from D. B. Tur- 
ney of Sumner, 111., who writes of date May 
26, 1906, as follows: "H.-ive neglected until 
now to acknowledge the receipt of 108 straw- 
berry plants. They surely are fine plants — 107 
are living. They have made no runners, but 
have made from two to five crowns each." 
That means that a big crop of fruit is the first 
irnpulse of a perfectly bred plant. The "other 
kind" expend their limited energy in making 
surplus runners which, of course, are useless and 
only make more trouble for the berry grower.
