58 GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM

Gandy, B. (Male) 
LATE. Bisexual. This is one of the most uni- 
versally popular varieties ever originated. Per- 
fect in form, the quality of its fruit has made it 
famous the world over. Delicious in flavor, rich 
in color, extremely late as to fruiting time, and 
an extraordinary shipper— all these qualities make 
it a universal favorite alike with grower and con- 
sumer. The berry is bright red, with a smooth 
shiny surface studded with glossy dark-red seeds, 
the fine appearance being maintained after ship- 
ping hundreds of miles. Its extreme lateness 
insures to growers the top price of the season. 
The foliage of Gandy is tall, the leaves being 
dark green and of the texture of leather. Its 
fruit stems are long and strong, holding the ber- 
ries up above the foliage so that the sun may 
put on the fine finishing touches. The fruit re- 
mains on the vines for several days after ripen- 
ing without deterioration. Please remember that 
Gandy is deficient in pollen and should be set be- 
tween other bisexuals. Also that it gives great- 
est yields on heavy clay soil. This is Gandy's 
twenty-fifth year in our breeding beds; we began 
propagating this variety the year the Kellogg 
farms were established. 
teaches the way you cultivate and manage your 
strawberry farm. You tell about your way of 
doing things and your reason for it in such a clear 
and comprehensive manner that it seems to me 
no one need misunderstand or make a mistake in 
strawberry culture. I am a strawberry grower 
and have some of the Kellogg strain of thorough- 
breds that I bought from you a few years ago 
and they excite the wonder and admiration of all 
who see them." J. B. WILLIS.

Gary, May 17, 1909. "Received the plants in 
fine shape, and am pleased with them— they were 
the nicest plants I ever saw. " 0. S. Ransom.

Dunlap, April 8, 1909. "Three years ago I 
bought 225 of your strawberry plants and set 
them out on five square rods of ground. The first 
crop— 1907— I gathered 240 quarts of very fine 
Brandywine, B. (Male) 
LATE. Bisexual. For seventeen years we have 
bred this notable late variety, and the increasing 
number and growing size of the orders we re- 
ceive for it supports every claim we have ever 
made for its superior qualities. Its berries are 
extraordinarily large, in color deep blood red to 
the center, the surface being indented with 
bright yellow seeds that are so prominent as to 
make a beautiful contrast in color. The berry 
possesses a flavor peculiar to itself and it attracts 
and holds customers of the most epicurean taste. 
Brandywine is one of the best canning berries 
known to commerce. The productiveness of this 
variety equals its attractiveness as to size and 
beauty, rendering it very popular with commer- 
cial growers everywhere. The calyx is very 
large; the stems grow erect, holding the berries 
well up from the ground. I'he foliage is ample 
and of upright form, with a dark-green leathery 
leaf which affords full protection for the bloom. 
Many of its flowers open under the leaves and 
thus are protected from late frosts. 
berries. Last year I got 280 quarts and sold 200 
quarts at lOyi cents for culls and 15 cents for 
choice berries, right at home. At that rate my 
berries brought me more than $1200 per acre. 
My berry patch was the wonder and talk of the 
town. I never saw anything like it."

San Augustine, April 30, 1909. "The straw- 
berries arrived on the 24th. They were certainly 
fine plants. I noticed them this morning and they 
were growing right along. I shall have you ship 
me more plants next spring."

Grantsville, July 8, 1909. "In the spring of 
1908 we bought a few hundred of your thorough- 
bred strawberry plants and they all grew and 
grew splendidly. This spring they were a mass 
of blossoms and the fruit just laid in piles along 
the rows. The first two pickings were the finest 
berries I ever have seen. We are preparing an-
