GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
R. M. Kellogg Co.. Three Rivers. Mich. 
Tennessee Prolific, B. (Male) 
EARLY. Bisexual. This variety is famous for 
Its sweetness, but it combines with this quality 
many other excellencies, which makes it in all 
respects a most desirable, and wherever known 
most popular variety. Tennessee Prolific yields 
a berry in size medium large, bright crimson in 
color, rather long and corrugated as to form. 
The seeds color as the berries ripen, and are quite 
prominent. Flesh is fine-grained and pink in 
color; and is laden with the most delicious of 
juices. It has won distinction because of its ex- 
cellence as a canner. As its name indicates, the 
berry is a prolific yielder and to this important 
quality is added that of an ideal shipper. It has 
a large calyx which projects over the berry as if 
to shade it. It is a prolific runner-maker and the 
plants seldom grow large in the propagating bed, 
but when reset in the fruiting bed they develop 
to very large size. This is the twenty-third year 
we have had this variety in our breeding beds, 
and each year adds to our appreciation of its un- 
usual value. 
more. The Longf ellows are very prolific. Some of the plants 
have more than 250 berries each, and all are very full. The 
Nick Ohmers and Marshalls are also loaded with fruit."

South Yarmouth, April 18, 1910. "I like your strawberry 
plants very much, indeed. 1 did not realize that there were 
such good strawberry plants until I had some from you."

Allesran, April 28, 1910. "The strawberry plants arrived in 
fine shape, and I desire to thank you for the fine plants you 
have sent me." A. C. Mullin. 
Rumely, Jan. 24, 1910. "Will you kindly send copies of your 
1910 book to a number of my friends whose names I enclose? 
Our own success with your strawberry plants during the past 
year has opened the eyes of some of these friends to the pos- 
sibilities in the way of strawberry growing. Some of them 
wish to get started in the same way, and the best thing I 
know to do for them is to have them read your great straw- 
berry guide." H. W. Crawford. 
Muskegon, May 7, 1910. "The plants you shipped May 4th 
reached me May 6th and they are fine and dandy. I will al- 
ways say a good word for Kellogg's plants.

Company two years ago, and though weather and soil condi- 
tions were unfavorable, I have had splendid success with 
Heritage, B. (Male) 
EARLY. Bisexual. This variety has sprung in- 
to popularity in a way most unusual, but there is 
nothing strange about this fact, when its extra- 
ordinary qualities are considered. In size the 
Heritage ranks among the largest berries ever 
introduced, and it is one of the most productive 
varieties ever known. Its uniformity of size is 
one of its strong points. In color tlie fruit is a 
dark lustrous shade of crimson, set with brilliant 
golden seeds, and they make a most attractive 
appearance when placed upon the market. The 
flesh is fine and the flavor delicious. Results se- 
cured by Florida customers indicate that the 
Heritage is quite as successful in the extreme 
South as it is in the Northern states. This is be- 
cause of its immense root system, which pen- 
etrates the ground to great depth and makes it a 
drouth-resister of unusual value. In shape the 
berry is long and conical with an obtuse point. 
Our experience and the experience of our patrons 
justify us in advising our customers everywhere 
to give this variety a complete trial.

had no rain this year from the time the plants began to bloom 
until the season was over, I had more than 800 quarts of the

Of course they have not fruited as yet, but the plants cer-

heartily for your cordiality and prompt business methods '
