GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
R. M. Kellogg Co., Three Rivers, Mich. 
Bubach, P. (Female) 
MEDIUM TO LATE. Pistillate. Bubach never 
fails to win a reputation for the grower who pro- 
duces this variety in sufficient quantity to supply 
the market. It is famous for large yields of ber- 
ries, mammoth as to size and beautiful as to 
form. These are the elements that have made it 
one of the leading money makers. The berries 
are great big meaty fellows with a bright-red, 
waxy surface. Some are conical in shape and 
others are thick and broad. The bright-red color 
of the exterior extends clear through the fruit, 
and the berry is fine-grained and meaty. Bubach 
has a large calyx with medium-large stems. Fo- 
liage is a waxy, dark green with spreading habit 
and very short fruit and leaf stems. We rank 
Bubach among the leaders of the universal kind, 
as it has been grown with success in everjr sec- 
tion of the United States and Canada. This is the 
twenty-fourth year we have propagated this 
great pistillate, and we cannot too strongly urge 
its claims. 
THE above illustration is of the family patch of Clair W. 
Carlton, of Chippewa Lake, Ohio, who, writinpr under date 
of June 21, 1909 says: "I am more than pleased with the Kel- 
logg Thoroughbreds. We have been having all the straw- 
berries we could use for about two weeks and from appear- 
ances will have them for three or four weeks more. You will 
Bee that I haven't a large patch— just a 'home garden' that 
anyone can have by a little work." Wouldn't you like to try it? 
Nick Ohmer, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM TO LATE. Bisexual. Nick Ohmer 
stands among the leaders of its season, being es- 
pecially noted for its fine rich flavor. The ber- 
ries are large and cone-shaped, rich crimson in 
color, which shades down to pink at the center. 
The meat is very firm, and as we have said, of 
delicious flavor. MoSt of the seeds of the fruit 
are brown, with yellow ones dotted here and 
there, making a very attractive color combina- 
tion, which is made more remarkable and attrac- 
tive because of the combining with these colors 
of the green calyx that surmounts it. The foli- 
age is tall and has a dark-green and somewhat 
crinkled leaf. The fruit stems are long and stand 
up through the foliage, making easy work at 
picking time. The bloom is large and very rich 
in pollen, making this variety particularly valua- 
ble to mate with pistillates. With many large 
commercial growers it is the leading favorite. 
Reports received during 1909-10 from the Spokane 
region of Washington are to the effect that Nick 
Ohmer is a growing favorite in that great straw- 
berry section. We have bred this variety for 
thirteen years. 
what I picked and sold, saying nothing about the quantities 
we used and gave away. I sold my berries for spot cash at 
12J^ cents a quart to the fruit dealer in Monticello. The total 
amount I sold reached the sum of $219.50. I wish to make 
special mention of Warfield and Senator Dunlap; never in my 
life have I seen such loads of delicious fruit as they produced. 
It was truly wonderful to see them, —big fellows fairly tum- 
bling over each other." S. M. Jordan. 
Mohawk, Oct. 25, 1910. "I set out a scant quarter of an acre 
of your plants in the spring of 1908, and in 1909 I picked 1200 
quarts of berries. I received one cent more per quart than 
was paid for any other berries on the market." 
Floyd Doxtater. 
Ovid, April 18, 1910. "My plants arrived the 14th in prime 
condition. I was surprised to find them so fresh. They were 
put up in such neat form and so labeled that there is no 
chance for mistake. The plants have splendid roots. " 
F. J. Keady. 
Chenango Forks, April 11, 1910. "I received the strawberry 
plants in fine shape. They are very fine; not a poor plant 
among them." M. U. Owen, 
Chittenango Station, April 26, 1910. "The 1700 strawberry 
plants you shipped me last week arrived in fine condition. 
They are all the pictures and descriptions in your catalog led 
us to expect and we are entirely satisfied. The Pride of Mich-
