R. M. KELLOGO'S GREAT CROPS 
Portaee Ave., Looking toward tie Kellogg Farm 
Glen Mary. (B) Season medium early to quite 
late. Last year I hesitated to class this' as a per- 
fect flower but after keeping it under restriction 
two years I am now satisfied the pollen is strong 
and therefore class it among the perfect flowers. 
Berries are large, bright red to center, glossy and 
beautiful in the box, and one of the most desira- 
ble on the list. 
Henry. (P) This was introduced last year as a 
premium to T/ie American Gardening. I have 
not fruited it but offer it for testing. The berries 
are claimed to be very large and fine. 
Haverland. (P) Season medium early. This 
berry, when well propagated, holds its place as the 
most productive berry grown. When planted in 
hills or hedge the berries lay in windrows on each 
side of the row. While it is not classed as a firm 
berry, yet it has a tough skin and handles well for 
a near market. Its stems are not strong enough to 
hold the immense loads of berries up from the 
ground and must be mulched to protect them. 
Berries large and uniform, bright crimson. 
Jacunda Improved. (B) Season early. A seed- 
ling and great improvement on the old Jacunda. 
Berries very large and fancy. Bright red, and of 
the best quality. A good pollenizer. Largelj^ 
grown in the west. 
Lady Thompson. ( B ) An extra early berry and 
largely grown in the south for shipping north, but 
now generally planted all over the north It is one 
of the best. Berries large and firm, dark red and 
attractive in the box. 
Lovett. ( B ) Medium early. A great favorite 
with all who have fruited it. It stands high as a 
pollenizer for all medium early pistillates. Size 
above medium, quite firm, dark color and high 
quality. 
Louis Gauthier. (B) Season medium to late. It 
was imported from France and introduced two years 
ago. Its value is the peculiatity of developing 
buds on the new runners in the fall. It is valuable 
to those who want big berries in September. 
Marshall. (B) Season late. King of big berries 
(see photograph). I have greatly improved vigor 
of foliage and increased size of fruit by my method 
of propagation and now believe it has no equal as 
an extremely large berr \ . Berries deep blood red 
to center, flavor very much like the wild berry. 
Foliage large and vigorous. While it will not per- 
haps yield as many quarts to the acre as some me- 
dium sized berries, yet it is the best extra large 
berry. It makes comparatively few runners and 
should be grown in hedge row or hills to get largest 
berries.

Michel's Early. (B) Long been known as the 
extra early berry. It should always be grown in 
hedge row when it is very productive if free from 
exhaustion. It makes runners very freely and 
many have propagated in beds so thickly that 
light was excluded and thus it lost its tendency to 
form fruit buds. We have it in its old time pro- 
ductiveness. Last season it held the market ten 
days at a big price before the other berries came in. 
Berries medium size, cone shape and a good shipper. 
Mexican Everbearing. (B) Season early. Ber- 
ries medium size, bright red, regular shape, bears 
a second crop in August and September. If sea- 
son is favorable the fall crop is quite heavy. 
Manwell. (B) Season medium. Berries large, 
bright red and very desirable. Only the best re- 
ports come from it wherever tried. A fine berry 
for those catering to a family trade. 
Michigan. (B) The latest berry on the list, 
very large and fine and reported a success 
wherever grown. It is one of the most profitable 
because it is not only productive but holds the mar- 
ket when all other sorts are gone. 
Magoon. (B) Season very late. It has more 
than met expectations. One of the most valuable 
for northern growers who desire to ship south, 
after southern berries are gone. Very large, bright 
red to center, rich flavor. They ship it from Ore- 
gon and Washington to Chicago in carload lots re- 
ceiving a high price for it, after other sorts are 
gone 
Margaret. (B) Medium early to late. The 
berries are large, even size, bright red to center, 
and of best quality. The reports throughout the 
country speak or it in highest terms. Here its be- 
havior was fully up to expectations. A great berry 
for family trade. 
Nick Ohmer. (B) Season commences quite 
early and continues very late. It was introduced 
last season at $2.00 per dozen and all reports show 
that it has great merit. Few berries have had so 
hi^h endorsement from such eminent authority. 
It IS very large, even shaped, bright red and higli 
quality. I urge a trial of this as I believe it will 
come into general cultivation. 
Oregon Everbearing. (B) Season early. After 
the fir.st crop it rests a few days, then sets fruit for 
the fall crop, which sometimes is quite heavy if 
season is not too dry. It's nice to have a dish of 
strawberries in August and September. 
Ocean City. (B) Season medium late. Intro- 
duced three years ago. The vigor of the plant is 
remarkable. In size, color and shape of berries it 
closely resembles the old Sharpless, but is more 
than twice as productive. I am much pleased with 
Parker Earle. (B) Season late. Probably the 
most productive late bi-sexual berry grown. On 
light land it sets more fruit than it can mature. On 
rich, moist land under high culture, it suc- 
ceeds well. Fruit large, good quality, dark glossy 
red. It makes very few runners. Succeeds well 
on low land. 
Ridgeway. (B) Season medium early. Few 
berries have made more friends since its introduc- 
tion. It roots deeply and stands drouth well Foli- 
age is vigorous and berries beautiful and so many of 
them that the acreage of this variety should he in- 
creased from year to year. 
Ruby. (B) Season mtdium. It is certainly a 
ruby of the first class. Plants are large and stocky, 
Berries large, cone shape, even in size, a good ship- 
per and one that catches the eye on the market. 
It is really an "up-to-date" berry.
