R. M. KELLOGO S GREAT CROPS OF 
Among the opportunities I have for keeping 
in touch with the most progressive fruit growers of 
the day, I may be permitted to iiienlion that I have 
a complete up-to-date horticultural library, am a 
subscriber and a contributor to all leading horti- 
cultural papers, have long been identified with the 
Michigan State Horticultural Society and am at 
present a member of its executive board, and 
President of the West Michigan Horticultural 
Society, which covers the most extensive fruit 
section in America. I am also an honorary mem- 
ber of five State Horticultural Societies, before 
which I have delivered lectures. I am regularly 
employed by the Michigan State Board of Agri- 
culture to deliver lectures, conduct institutes and 
lead discussions in fruit centers.

Fruit eaters are always good natured. A fruit diet 
during hot weather means a clear head and strong 
body. The rich frmt acids cool the blood and are 
the great panacea for aches, pains and the "blues." 
It saves "family jars," doctors' bills, and enables 
a person to accomplish more work. It will keep 
the bovs and girls contented at home. They see 
all the.-i'e nice tilings in the town and forget they 
are products of the farm. Nothing adds so much 
to home life as a fruit yarden. 
A small plat of ground, a few strong fruiting 
Psdi>;ree Plains of early, medium and late varieties, 
a little delightful recreation in the cool of the eve- 
ing in caring for them and the pleasure is yours. 
To enjoy them vou must see them growing. To 
see the great beauties begin to turn red and peep 
out from under the foliage so coquettishly is a 
great treat. 
" Buy them cheaper ? " Let us see about 
that. You furnish the land and manure and I can 
buy the plants and do all the work, paying regular 
wages and have all the berries ready to pick for 
much less than one cent per quart throughout the 
season. They will be at your door. No going 
without because you have no time to go after them. 
No expense for boxes except what the children 
need to pick and take to town to buy their school 
books with. A berry garden will furnish the 
family more real luxury than you can buy with 
several acres of wheat. Give it a start this spring. 
Farm for sale. The way to sell a farm is to 
make the would-be purchaser feel that he would 
like to own it. A display of fruits will contribute 
more to that end than any other one thing. The 
cost is trifling compared with inducements to 
purchase. 
ANSWERING QUESTIONS. 
I cordially invite correspondence with all fruit 
growers and will take pleasure in giving them the 
benefit of my experience whenever it will be of 
service to them. 
My Success depends on your success, and I 
am cspsciallv anxious that growers stocking their 
grounds with my Pedigree Plants shall do things 
at the right time and in the right way

My large correspondence gives me practically 
an experiment station in every community in the 
country. They tell me of their methods of work, 
of the varieties they have tried and results 
obtained. With all these sources of reliable 
information I believe I can be of service to not 
only the commercial grower but to persons grow- 
ing fruit for their own table. Write me at any 
time, giving particulars, and I shall be able to give 
you some valuable pointers. 
IRRIGATION. 
While I have grown the largest crops ever 
produced without irrigation by maintaining the 
dust mulch as explained on page 14, yet if facilities 
for irrigation can be secured, it will well repay a 
reasonable outlay.
