GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
R. M. Kellogg Co.. Three Rivers, Mich. 
Bederwood, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM EARLY. Bisexual. Bederwood pro- 
duces a delicate crimson berry with glossy sur- 
face and deep yellow seeds, the fruit being of 
medium size. The flesh is red, shading down to 
a rich cream near the heart. Its richness of color 
and delicate flavor mal^e it one of the most popu- 
lar varieties with high-class trade, and as a table 
berry it is unsurpassed. It is famous also, among 
housekeepers, who preserve it in different forms, 
for winter use. It is exceedingly productive, an 
excellent shipper, and is popular with commer- 
cial growers everywhere. Having an extremely 
long blooming season, it is an excellent poUenizer 
for pistillate varieties. The calyx is small and 
lies close to the fruit, giving the berry an exceed- 
ingly neat, dainty appearance. This is the twen- 
ty-fourth year we have selected and tested Beder- 
wood on our farms, and each succeeding year has 
only increased the high esteem in which we hold 
this variety, an estimate fully confirmed by re- 
ports from our patrons, and we, therefore, can 
without hesitation recommend growers every- 
where to set largely of this universally popular 
and thoroughly excellent variety. 
another nursery. The Kellogg plants beat all the strawberry 
plants I ever saw— such nice, large, healthy plants, looking 
like they had just been dug up. They are growing finely. 
Those I bought from the other nursery wilted right down. 
There is not one dozen of the others that are green." 
Mrs. George Pfulb. 
Chariton, April 19, 1910. "I received the plants you sent us 
April 8th. They were all O. K. My neighbor, E. G. Redling- 
shafer, who ordered with me also is well pleased." 
A. G. Rosa. 
Sabula, April 7, 1910. "I received the plants you sent me 
on the 1st ot April. They were good plants and had such fine 
roots. They are looking fine and I think every one of them is 
alive." Mrs. M. G. Perkins. 
Cromwell, April 9, 1910. "We received the shipment of 
plants in fine condition. The plants were in fine shape." 
Wm. L. Higgs. 
Estherville, Jan. 21, 1910. "I have been trying strawberry 
plants from different nurseries, but I find that those I get 
from you are the best, so I shall want more of your plants the 
coming spring." A. S. Anderson. 
Sioux City, April 28, 1910. "The strawberry plants I ordered 
from you arrived two days ago, and were in fine condition. 
Crescent, P. (Female) 
MEDIUM EARLY. Pistillate. This is the twen- 
ty-sixth year we have offered this great variety 
to our patrons. This of itself is a testimony to 
its qualities of the highest character, and we are 
sure that our old patrons, some of whom have 
used this variety for as long a time as we have 
offered it, will agree with us that it has shown 
itself at all times to be worthy of a first place in 
their lists. Crescent grows medium-sized berries 
of a rather broad wedge-shape, tapering to an 
obtuse point. In color the fruit is crimson and 
the flesh is close-grained and solid. As a shipper 
it stands among the leaders. This is one point 
which makes it a very popular berry with com- 
mercial growers, and its great productiveness is 
another. The fruit is very juicy and has a fine 
flavor, somewhat tart. The seeds of this variety 
are bright yellow, running to brown on the dark- 
er side, and standing out prominently from the 
surface. It has a calyx that stands out straight 
and a neat, slender stem. The flesh of the berry 
is rich red around the edges, shading down to a 
lighter color toward the center. 
Accept thanks for prompt shipment of fine, strong, healthy 
plants." Mrs. A. Olson. 
Kansas 
Eskridge, June 1, 1910. "The berry plants received from 
you this spring are doing finely considering the fact that they 
had no rain the first six weeks after setting. My plants are 
Senator Dunlap." Mrs. H. H. Cunningham. 
Independence, April 1.5, 1910. "The plants I ordered March 
30 came in due time. They were all in fine shape and I have 
them planted out and think that every one will grow. They 
have the finest crowns of any plants I ever have grown." 
H. W. Conrad. 
Spring Hill, April 14, 1910. "Received the strawberry plants 
all right. They came in fine condition. They were all nice 
plants, and any time 1 can speak a good word for you, I will." 
J. B. Johnson. 
Olathe, April 5, 1910. "The strawberry plants you shipped 
me were received the second day after shipping in good con- 
dition. Every plant grew, and the prospect is for a good crop 
next year." R. G. Robb. 
Yates Center, April 6, 1910. "Received the strawbeiTy 
plants all O. K. Have them set out and all are looking fine." 
Mrs. G. H. Wright. 
Parsons, Jan. 15, 1910. "I have bought plants from you for 
many years, but three years ago you did not have the plants 
I wished and I have been buying elsewhere since then; but I 
feel compelled to return to the old standby. I have purchased
