Couldn't Kill the Plants 
A MOST remarkable experi- 
ence as indicating the te- 
nacity to life of the Kellogg 
Thoroughbred plants is related 
in the following letter from A. 
L. Earnhardt, who wrote us 
from Yahk, B. C, Canada, under 
date of February 22, describing 
that experience. He says: 
"Enclosed you will find an or- 
der for 400 of your plants. Last 
year I ordered the same number, 
and although they were not a 
glowing success, I do not blame 
the plants. Instead, I am sur- 
prised at their wonderful vitality 
and thrifty growth. The first 
reason for their partial failure 
was the Express company re- 
quiring thirteen days to forward 
them over a four-day route. Yet, 
in spite of their long journey, 
every plant was living, and near- 
ly all had sent out new roots. 
The second reason was the pro- 
longed drought of last year 
which would have killed any but 
'Thoroughbreds;' and the third 
reason, was that the wild deer 
got into my garden while I was 
absent and succeeded in de- 
crowning 300 out of my 400 
plants and trampled the remain- 
der out of all recognition. But 
to prove that the Kellogg Com- 
pany do not over-rate the breed 
of their plants, 100 of these di- 
lapidated products of nature re- 
vived and went into the winter 
beautifully. Stocky plants with- 
out a suggestion of their sad 
past! If that was not a test and 
a result that would set a man 
thinking — well, I'm from Mis- 
souri — that's all! Next year I 
hope to set a couple of acres to 
strawberry plants and they will 
be Kellogg's Thoroughbreds or 
none." 
Such an experience as this, 
the report of which comes to us 
voluntarily, is very gratifying. 
It is a complete confirmation of 
the claims we make concerning
