60 GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERR 
R. M. Kellogg Co., 
Dornan, B. (Male) 
LATE. Bisexual. Tastes frequently diifer as 
between varieties of strawberries, but we have 
yet to know of anyone having enjoyed the de- 
licious flavor of the Dornan, with its sub-acid 
quality, but instantly admitted its superiority in 
that respect. The berry is immense in size and 
the great plants are loaded down with the big 
fellows, which make them exceedingly popular 
from the commercial grower's point of view. In 
color it is dark red on the outer side, shading 
down to a bright red on the other; seeds are red 
and yellow and the meat is deep pink, shaded 
down almost to white at the center. The foliage 
of this variety is dark-green and has a waxy ap- 
pearance. It is very large, a vigorous grower 
and of upright habit. The roots are large and 
go deeply down into the earth, drawing up plenty 
of moisture. As a pollenizer Dornan is unex- 
celled. This is the eleventh year we have bred 
this most excellent variety. 
other piece of land ready to set out some more of 
your plants next spring, as everybody who has 
seen and tested our berries this season wanted to 
buy some, and as there are very few strawberries 
raised in our village we are anxious to get more 
started. We could sell hundreds of quarts right 
from the patch." Mrs. Le Roy Anderson.

Mclndoe Falls, Sept. 23, 1908. "The plants 
you sent me last spring are looking fine, consid- 
ering the drouth we have had. We set the plants 
as soon as they came, and it was scorching hot 
for ten days after setting; then a light shower. 
No more rain for six weeks; very little rain this 
summer. Just twenty plants have died out of 
3,300. I think the Kellogg plants are about IT."

Covington, Feb. 20, 1909. "Enclosed find order 
for 15,000 strawberry plants same as you shipped 
last spring. Accept our hearty thanks for the 
most uniform lot of varying varieties and free 
lES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
Three Rivers, Mich. 
President, P. (Female) 
VERY LATE. Pistillate. We have yet to hear 
from a single customer who has given the Presi- 
dent an opportunity to show its leadership among 
American strawberries a word suggesting com- 
plaint or disappointment. In shape, as the illus- 
tration shows, it is of the perfect strawberry 
type. In color it is a mottled pink and red, these 
colors extending entirely through the berry. 
When packed neatly in the box it is as tempting 
a sight as any strawberry could offer; and that 
is saying a great deal. For so large a berry the 
calyx is unusually small, the seeds are yellow and 
brown and add a sparkling efl'ect most charming. 
The flavor of the President is fine and the flesh 
is rich and meaty. When served upon the table 
with stems still remaining, it is peculiarly at- 
tractive. The foliage is large, light green in 
color, and the bloom is much larger than is gen- 
erally found on pistillate varieties. This is the 
seventh year we have bred this noble pistillate 
variety in our beds, and each passing season con- 
firms our confidence in it. Do not fail to order 
some of the President. 
from old mother plants we have ever received. 
These were the finest plants we ever have re- 
ceived from any firm. " John DoLLiNS. -

North Yakima, May 18, 1909. "The plants I 
got of you all lived and are just fine. I am tak- 
ing the very best of care of them, following your 
instructions strictly. " M. S. Gauntt. 
Garfield, April 13, 1909. "We have been very^ 
much pleased with results obtained from your 
berry plants and feel we cannot have too many 
of them. Neighbors say they never saw such 
berries." V. Katzenberger.

Iron River, Jan. 21, 1909. "I have had excel- 
lent success with the Kellogg plants I set last 
spring. Most every one of the plants grew, and
