Wolverton, B. (Male) 
EARLY. Bisexual. The Wolverton grows a 
large crimson berry, top-shaped as the illustra- 
tion above indicates, and possesses merits which 
no photograph can show. The upper side of the 
berry colors up to a fine red when the fruit is 
fully ripe, and the seeds on the upper side also 
are darker than on the under side, where they 
remain a bright yellow. These contrasting colors 
give to the fruit a most attractive appearance. 
In quality Wolverton is one of the richest berries 
on our list; its flesh is fine-grained and pink in 
color; and its flavor is of unusual delicacy. As an 
all-round table berry it is unexcelled, and as a 
money maker commercial growers who sell direct 
to consumers find it a leader. It is no less popular 
in the home garden. The calyx is double and 
very heavy, drooping over the berry in such a 
way as to make them particularly attractive 
when served with the stems. After twenty-one 
years of experience with this variety, we have 
no hesitancy in advising a liberal setting by our 
customers. 
finest berries on this marl(et. I had one-third of a crop, and

were the finest they ever ate. To those who would get to the 
top in strawberry growing, I say, 'Buy Thoroughbred

Bessemer, Feb. 12, 1910. "Herewith is a small order for 
plants for a propagating bed. Senator Dunlap has proved to 
be the best variety with me. Four rods tested by your meth- 
ods two years ago produced 200 quarts which I sold at 15 cents 
a quart, or $30 for the four rods. This is at the rate of $1200 
per acre. They were given only ordinary (Kellogg system) 
care." G. W. Luther.

Ann Arbor, March 18, 1910. "Attached please find order for 
plants. At the same time I must let you know how finely the 
plants received from you in 1908 have done. In 1909 my vines 
were so heavily loaded with berries that my friends asked 
'What is the matter with your strawberry plants— there aro 
no vines to be seen; nothing but berries? There are too many 
berries on them, they will all dry up on you.' But they all 
grew and ripened. 100 plants of your Pride of Michigan yield- 
Clyde, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM. Bisexual. We have offered Clyde to 
our customers for seventeen years, and our rec- 
ords show a steadily increasing demand for this 
variety. As the illustration shows, the berry is 
very large, in shape conical. One side is a bright 
crimson, the other a rich cream, with just a blush 
of pink. The berry is regular in form and even in 
season, which makes it an easy matter to sort 
them when making them ready for the market. 
The seeds are deeply imbedded in the flesh, sel- 
dom coming even with the outer edge. The flesh 
is a rich pink in color, fine of texture, and deli- 
cate of flavor; and because the latter is retained 
when canned, this variety is extremely popular 
with the housewife. The Clyde is a very attract- 
ive variety, and as the berries hold firm and re- 
tain their color well after being shipped a long 
distance, it has become a universal favorite with 
commercial growers. The fruiting season of 
Clyde is very long, frequently extending from 
extra early to late, with fine fruit at every pick- 
ing. One of the extensive strawberry growers 
of Southern California writes us that after years 
of experience he has discarded all other varieties 
and now grows Clyde exclusively. 
ed one quart to the plant, and the first blossoms did not set at 
that, which was caused by the heavy rain we had at blossom- 
ing time." A. G. Lentz.

Good Thunder, March 1, 1910. "Enclosed find check for 
2225 strawberry plants. I bought 1000 Senator Dunlap plants 
from you in 1905 and the next season we sold 2800 quarts of 
berries from these plants. Since then 1 have bought my 
plants from other nurseries, but have had poor returns from 
all of the plants purchased from any other than the Kellogg 
Company. The other plants I bought at a much lower price, 
but I lost a great deal of money by changing from your plants 
to others." A. S. Pinkham. 
Minneapolis. Sept. 2, 1909. "In the spring of 1908 I got 
enough plants for one and one-half acres from you, and I have 
had splendid success. The berries were the best on the Min- 
neapolis market and I realized $550.00 per acre. I picked 5,280 
quarts to the acre from the field. I think I 'made good' all 
right considering I am not 20 years old as yet. I could easily 
have sold 100 crates a day. I never had enough to supply the 
wants of even two stores. I had to borrow money to start
