Parker Earle, B. (Male) 
LATE. Bisexual. Parker Earle enjoys the dis- 
tinction of being the heaviest yielder known when 
set in rich low land, while it yields heavily in all 
kinds of soils. The berries of the Parker Earle 
are of medium size, bright red in color, which is 
so bright as to give the fruit the effect of hav- 
ing been highly polished. The meat is red through- 
out. The flavor of the Parker Earle is unusually 
rich and this has won for it widespread popular- 
ity. The productiveness, lateness and firmness 
of this variety make it very popular with large 
growers. This variety makes very few runners, 
a fact which is highly appreciated by the grower. 
Among those who prefer the hill system the 
Parker Earle is a general favorite. This is the 
twenty-first year we have had Parker Earle under 
our methods of selection and restriction, and it 
has proved itself to be one of the leaders in at- 
tractiveness in the market. We recommend it 
with complete confidence. 
Aroma, B. (Male) 
LATE. Bisexual. This is another variety en- 
joying universal demand. As the illustration 
shows, it is a perfect strawberry type, and the 
berries are very large and are bright red to the 
center. The flesh of Aroma is solid and smooth 
and the flavor richly aromatic. The berry is firm 
and so popular has it become as a long-distance 
shipper that in the great strawberry fields of the 
Southwest thousands of acres are annually set to 
this variety. When neatly packed in the box it 
is very attractive; the yellow seeds imbedded in 
the bright-red flesh give to it unusual beauty. 
Aroma is strong in pollen, making it a very de- 
sirable mate for pistillates, as the bloom begins 
to open medium early and continues until very 
late. The foliage of Aroma is a smooth deep- 
green of spreading habit which makes way for 
the sun clear down to the crown so that all of 
the fruit is thoroughly ripened. This is the 
eighteenth year we have selected and bred this 
great variety. 
FOUR GREAT WESTERN SPREADERS AT WORK ON THE KELLOGG FARMS 
pROPERLY to distribute barnyard manure is one of the most important features of farm work, and the Great Western 
Manure Spreader, manufactured by the Smith Manufacturing: Co.. 158-164 East Harrison St., Chicago. Ill . does the work to 
perfection. We reyuire four of them. These machines tear the manure to shreds and distribute it evenly over the field. They 
are adjustable so that as heavy or as light a dressing as may be desired readily is secured. This feature is of great importance
