Pride of Michigan, B. (Male) 
LATE. Bisexual. Since 1902 we have been 
selecting plants and fruiting from this variety, 
and we introduced it to our patrons in 1905. It 
met with instant favor and for several years it 
has taken the lead in the sale of plants of the 
late varieties. It requires each season mor'e than 
1,000,000 plants of the Pride of Michigan to sup- 
ply the demand, and they go to every agricultural 
county in the United States and throughout all 
of the provinces of the Dominion of Canada. The 
letters we are receiving from customers from all 
parts of the continent assure us it is a favorite 
everywhere. In size the berries surpass all other 
varieties, and it produces a larger number of 
quarts of fancy berries than does any other late 
variety. In color it is a bright glossy red on one 
side, shading down to a lighter red on the other. 
It is very firm and exceedingly rich; the meat is 
solid and smooth and in flavor excels all other 
late varieties. It makes just enough runners to 
fill in a good fruiting row and is grown with less 
effort than most varieties because its runners are 
so easily handled. As a shipper it stands with- 
out a peer. Foliage is large; the bloom is un- 
usually large and exceedingly rich in pollen, and 
it has a long blooming season; it is, therefore, 
one of the most valuable varieties for the mating 
6f pistillates. Because this variety makes fewer 
plants than almost any other variety grown, it is 
impossible to sell the plants for less than $8 per 
thousand; but no grower can at this price make 
a better investment than to set as large an acre- 
age as possible to this best of all varieties. We 
are the only company from whom you can get 
plants of the Pride of Michigan. 
strawberry plants, all Thoroughbreds from your

are to have a splendid crop this season, thanks

Oregon Iron Clad, B. (Male) 
VERY LATE. Bisexual. This is an extra-late, 
large, broad-shaped berry, in color a glossy dark 
red which extends from surface to center. It is 
a very productive variety, is of delicious flavor 
and possesses all the elements that make it a 
strong shipper, which explains its growing pop- 
ularity among extensive growers. The seeds are 
bright yellow, the fruit retains its brilliant color 
for days after being picked, and the calyx re- 
mains fresh and green— points of highest import- 
ance to the shipper. Oregon Iron Clad is one of 
the long-necked varieties indicating sweetness. 
The foliage is extra large, light green and tall. 
The fruit stems are of unusual length and hold 
the cluster of berries up to full view. The plants 
of this variety stand very erect until the fruit 
begins to ripen, when the weight of the heavy 
fruit gradually pulls them down until the berries 
rest on the clean mulching. This is why this 
variety is such a favorite with the pickers. This 
is the eighth year we have propagated Oregon 
Iron Clad and each year we are more confident 
of its high value.

Edgewood, May 10, 1909. "The plants you 
shipped me in 1908 are wondrous to behold; and 
as they are near the street they attract a great 
deal of attention, and are admired by all. Never 
saw such plants before is what all say. Some 
have six perfect crowns and are loaded with buds 
and blossoms. I trust I may be in a place where 
I can plant Kellogg plants another year. I am 
assured of success if I do."

improve it with each succeeding issue. It just
