GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
R. M. Kellogg Co., Three Rivers, Mich. 
Fendall, P. (Female) 
EARLY TO LATE. Pistillate. Among the va- 
rieties added to our list last year no other came 
to us with higher recommendations than did the 
Fendall, and now, speaking from our own expe- 
rience, we can without hesitation, place it in the 
first rank of pistillate varieties. Like our Long- 
fellow, it fruits from early to late, and, by the 
way, will be perfectly fertilized when set beside 
Longfellow. Berries have been gathered from 
the same plot of Fendall on the 25th of May and 
on the 4th of July. The Fendall is a seedling of 
the Wm. Belt, originated in 1905 by Chas. E. 
Fendall, a Maryland enthusiast in strawberry 
culture. It is noted for its great vigor of plant 
growth, unusual size of berry, delicious flavor, 
unexcelled productiveness, beauty and symmet- 
ry of form, and its extraordinary root system. 
The foliage of this wonderful variety is large and 
the root system heavy, making it an ideal drouth- 
resister. The illustration above is the exact size 
of the original and shows a berry of unusually 
beautiful form. Up to date, the highest record 
of yield reported for the Fendall is 16,800 quarts 
per acre. With such a record, reinforced by the 
reports of those who have grown this variety in 
many sections, we urge our patrons to set exten- 
sively to Fendall. 
with, but I paid it all back and have nearly $500.00 left. I 
know I never could have made such success with any other 
than Thoroughbred plants. Shall want about 30,000 more of 
them in 1910." W. RiTCHELL.

me arrived in good shape." Edward Akntsen. 
Minneapolis, April 4, 1910. "I received the strawberry 
plants in the best of condition, and they are the finest plants

Buster, P. (Female) 
MEDIUM TO LATE. Pistillate. This variety 
is so named because its chief characteristic is its 
ability to break all records for yield wherever 
grown, and it has won a distinct fame for its 
vigor of growth and reliability under adverse 
conditions. Another very striking characteristic 
is its immunity from frost. Growers that have 
used it say it is remarkable in this respect, and 
therefore it has won popularity in regions where 
late spring frosts are common. When the bloom 
of other varieties has been completely destroyed 
by frost. Buster has yielded a fine crop of fruit. 
This is the second year we have offered this vari- 
ety to our patrons, and we confidently expect 
that in northern latitudes it is to become a univer- 
sal favorite. Buster is a cross of Sharpless and 
Bubach. In size it is large, and in color a bright 
red. The flesh is of good quality, moderately 
firm, and an excellent shipper when the distance 
is not too great. The plant is a vigorous grower, 
and as we have said,, a heavy yielder.

ing fine. They were as fine plants as I ever set out."

Lexington, April 11, 1910. "The plants arrived several days 
ago in fine condition. They were set out at once and they are 
now green and vigorous. Many thanks for your promptness."

Gait, Feb. 7, 1910. "Two years ago I got 200 plants from 
you and set them out, and they have all done finely. Last 
year we picked 52 gallons of strawberries from them. If it 
doesn't pay to buy Thoroughbreds 1 have missed my guess."

Memphis, April 31, 1910. "The plants I ordered from you 
are just at hand. They reached us in fine condition, and we 
are well pleased with them." Mrs. Lennie L. Powell. 
Cuba, Feb. 11, 1910. "In the spring of 1908 we bought of 
you 1000 Aroma plants. From these we sold $50.00 worth of 
berries. Our neighbors say they were the finest and the lar- 
gest strawberries ever grown in this (Crawford) county."
