Parker Earle. B. (Male.) 
LATE. Bisexual. Beautiful in shape and 
color, size medium and flavor rich and delight- 
ful to the taste, it is the productiveness, lateness 
a-nd firmness of the Parker Earle that make it a 
prime favorite with commercial 
growers everywhere. On low 
rich soils it defeats all rivals in 
productiveness. It makes few 
runners and produces at its best 
when grown in hills or in single- 
hedge rows. For hills set the 
plants eighteen inches apart; for 
single-hedge row, thirty inches 
will be better. The thorough- 
bred plants of our strain of Parker 
Earle are so perfectly balanced 
and thoroughly built up in their 
Parker Earle fruit-producing organism that 
we have counted as high as three 
hundred and ninety berries on one plant, the 
greater part of them fancy. This is the eigh- 
teenth year we have had it under careful selec- 
tion and restriction, always choosing ideal an- 
cestors.

The first row — 20 x 24 inches — is especially 
adapted to the home garden, where all cultiva- 
tion is, of course, to be done with the hoe. 
Gandy. B. (Male.) 
I.ATE. Bisexual. Combines in a remark- 
able degree features that make it of especial 
value to the market grower. It is one of the 
largest berries, one of the latest, and one of the 
best long-distance shippers in ex- 
istence. They are a splendid 
bright red, with a smooth, shiny 
surface and glossy dark red 
seeds, which are quite promi- 
nent, and the flavor is of the 
first quality. Its foliage is tall, 
dark green with a broad leathery 
leaf. The fruit stems are long 
and hold the berries up above 
the foliage where the sun may 
reach them and put on the fin- 
ishing touches. As the first 
bloom of Gandy is deficient in 
pollen it will do better if every 
fourth row is set to some late 
Aroma, Pride of Michigan or Dornan. Set the 
plants thirty-six inches apart in the row and let 
them form a narrow-matted row. We have 
selected our strain of Gandys for twenty-two 
years, propagating from heavy-fruiting mother 
plants, and like tliem better than ever. 
$300 From Three-Fourfhs of an Acre 
HENRY WRIGHT of Newburgh, Ind., 
wrote us July 2, 1906, as follows: "Last year 
I ordered 4,800 plants from you. This is my 
first experience in growing strawberries, but from 
those 4,800 plants I sold this season 205 24-box 
crates at an average price of $1.45 a crate. We 
had dry weather all through May. The straw- 
berry men said we had only half a crop, but I 
couldn't help being satisfied with my turn-out. 
Kellogg plants treated in 'the Kellogg way' will 
invariably produce just such results."
