GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 51 
R. M. Kellogg Co., Three Rivers, Mich. 
Arizona, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM EARLY. Bisexual. This variety 
comes as near to being an "ever-bearing" or 
"double-cropper" as any with which we are fa- 
miliar, and in that regard it is quite as successful 
as any of the varieties which fall within the 
range of these descriptions. In an autumn season 
noted for its warmth, Arizona will, in many sec- 
tions of the country, yield a second crop of high- 
quality fruit; but it is not upon that fact that the 
popularity of this variety depends, as it is a won- 
derful yielder of fine fruit at the regular season 
of fruiting. The berries are large in size, deep 
red in color, and possess a rich, aromatic flavor, 
which wins and holds friends for it everywhere. 
The foliage is dark green and of medium size. 
This is the ninth year we have grown this variety 
in our breeding beds and under our methods of 
selection it has increased its natural tendency to 
yield a second crop of fruit. 
Thompson's No. 2, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM EARLY. Bisexual. This is the sixth 
year we have offered Thompson's No. 2, and each 
succeeding season has marked a notable advance 
in the popularity of this exceedingly valuable va- 
riety. Its berries are bright red, rich in flavor 
and endure shipping along with the best; the lat- 
ter fact making it very popular with commercial 
growers who ship to great distances. It is an 
exceedingly productive variety, and yields a very 
uniform fruit both as to size and quality. It is a 
very strong fertilizer, being very rich in pollen. 
The above illustration indicates the form of the 
fruit, and few varieties present a more attractive 
appearance when neatly packed and placed upon 
the market. Foliage is a glossy dark-green with 
an extremely tough tissue, making this variety 
unusually resistant to fungous spores. With our 
Idaho and other Intermountain-state customers 
Thompson's No. 2 is becoming universally popular. 
igan plants are certainly the iinest I ever saw. The dibbles 
are also very satisfactory." Mrs. L. C. Hubbard. 
BulTalo, April 8, 1910. "The strawberry plants arrived day 
before yesterday, and if the berries taste half as good as the 
plants look, I shall be satisfied. They certainly are a nice 
looking lot." H. F. Drew.

Cedarville, June 20, 1910. "Plants received from you in the 
early spring came up in good shape and are doing finely."

and in the best of condition." J. A. Bohn. 
Copley, April 28, 1910. "The strawberry plants ordered 
from you came in fine condition, also the runner cutter and 
dibble. I am much pleased with the whole outfit."

Hicksville, Feb. 14, 1910. "I received from you last spring 
some Dornan. Klondike, Parsons* Beauty and Glen Mary 
plants, and they have made a fine stand. Shall put out an- 
other acre this year. 1 shall always take off my hat to Kellogg 
plants." John Herkey. 
West Toledo, April 27, 1910. "Received my strawberry 
plants last Saturday in excellent condition and began setting 
them out at once. I was surprised at the healthy appearance 
of the plants. It seemed as if they were actually impatient to 
get down to business. Up to date my little girl has picked 
enough blossoms to make a fair-sized bouquet."

Lexington, May 6, 1910. "I received the plants yesterday 
evening and planted them this morning. They were in fine 
shape and first class in every way." Riley Conn. 
Carthagena, April 25, 1910. "Plants received in good condi-

Many thanks." George W. Hurd.

Muskogee, April 1, 1910. "I received my plants three days 
ago in good condition, and they are dandies." 
Later, May 27. "It is just seven weeks now since I received 
the plants from you and put them out. They are doing fine- 
ly." W. T. Brown. 
Woodward, April 26, 1910. "The 5000 plants I oi-dered from 
you arrived on time and in good condition. They have been in 
the ground scarcely a week, but already many of them have 
Bent up two and sometimes more leaf stalks, incredible as it 
may seem. Your plants are certainly all that you claim for 
them." C. M. Havhurst. 
Duncan, Dec. 9, 1909. "I had a plot 165x75 feet set to your 
Thoroughbred plants in 1908. The first bloom of these in the 
spring of 1909 was killed by a severe frost, and I thought all 
was over so far as any berries for that season was concerned;
