Midnight, B. (Male.) 
LATE. Bisexual. Is a large pink berry, 
broad and thick at stem end, tapering down to 
a flat point, somewhat wedge-shape. The flesh 
is almost white, having a texture pretty much 
the same as a white-meated peach. 
No one ever ate a richer or sweeter 
berry; just the kind to grow In 
family gardens, as it is one of the 
very latest and will prolong the 
season for this best of all fruit. It 
'vas named Midnight because its 
merries ripen at the last hour of the 
trawberry season. It is so pro- 
ductive that the foliage is unable 
to cover all the berries. The 
foliage is a handsome, glossy, 
dark green, of a rather spreading 
Midniiiht nature; its crowns usually are large 
and lots of them; its lateness in 
'blooming makes it almost immune from frost. 
As a pollenizer it is ideal, as the bloom is large 
and extra-rich in pollen. The plants should be 
set twenty-four inches apart and form in double- 
hedge rows. This is the fifth year Midnight 
has been under selection in the Kellogg breed- 
ing beds. 
Better Plants and More Than She Expected 
VI^RITING us under date of July 12, 1906, 
W Mrs. Carrie Scott of Vancouver, Wash. , 
says: "Some time in April I received my straw- 
berry plants in such nice condition. I was sur- 
prised on unpacking them that you had sent me 
so many nice plants for the money. I had ex- 
pected about half as many. I Left it to you to 
select varieties for me and I want to say I 
could not withstand letting three or four plants 
of each bear a stalk of berries, as I was curious 
to know what I had. In due time I felt 
quite rewarded, and if next year they do as 
well, according to size and strength of plant, I 
shall be pleased indeed." 
Rough Rider. 
(Male.) 
LATE. Bisexual. The berries are medium 
large, of glossy crimson color, which extends 
through to center and are juicy and rich. The 
surface is made glossy by the prominent yellow 
seed. For true shape note en- 
graving; the camera can show 
this much better than we can 
describe it. There is but littlt' 
variation, the one shown being 
a fair average. They are quite 
productive and always give a 
better crop the second year of 
fruiting than the first. The 
foliage is a dark green with a 
spreading habit; it easily is 
controlled in the fruiting bed 
on account of forming so few 
runners. Set the plants on rich soil, two feet 
apart and let them form tlie double-hedge sys- 
tem, so they will have plenty of space to stool 
up, and you will get a big crop of high-quality 
berries that will stand shipping to distant mar- 
kets. Rough Rider has been carefully selected 
in our breeding bed for eight years.
