GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
R. M. Kellogg Co.. Three Rivers. Mich. 
Stevens' Late Champion, B. (Male) 
LATE. Bisexual. This is the fifth year we have 
offered Stevens' Late Champion to our patrons, 
and they have shown their appreciation of this 
variety by the yearly increase in the size of their 
orders for its plants. A scion of the famous Can- 
dy, it possesses all of the extraordinary excellen- 
cies or that old favorite, to which it adds the ad- 
vantage of being somewhat larger in size, while 
its pollen is exceedingly rich, making it one of 
the most perfect-flowering of the late varieties, 
and therefore an excellent mate for pistillate va- 
rieties. It is very late and usually is in full fruit 
when most of the other late bearers have finished 
their season. It thrives everywhere, is a strong 
plant maker and is of great vitality. The plant 
IS very strong, holding its fruit well up from the 
ground. It is a deep rooter and does well under 
conditions of limited rainfall. Its late bloom 
makes it practically immune to late frosts. Many 
of our customers set Stevens' Late Champion and 
Cardinal together and find them a wonderful 
team. We cordially recommend this combination. 
to improve the mechanical condition of the soil 
as well as for the plant-food it contains.

Cardinal, P. (Female) 
LATE. Pistillate. The Cardinal is one of the 
most perfectly satisfactory varieties ever origin- 
ated. This is the fifth year we have had this va- 
riety under our methods of selection and restric- 
tion, and we have this year received more flatter- 
ing reports of its performance than ever have 
come to us. The berries are very large, of a deep 
cardinal red with dark, rich flesh. The variety is 
known for its excellence as a shipper, and the 
delicious flavor of its fruit makes it popular alike 
with commercial growers and those who raise 
strawberries for home consumption only. It is a 
strong grower, with leaves of more than ordinary 
size and of tough tissue. Our experience shows 
that it is remarkably free from susceptibility to 
fungous diseases. When many other varieties 
have succumbed to heavy frosts at blooming 
time. Cardinal has come through uninjured. "This 
variety is at home in all parts of the country and 
takes a leading place wherever grown. In the 
past we have been compelled to disappoint some 
customers because the demand for Cardinal was 
greater than the supply. We confidently expect 
this year that the larger area set to Cardinal will 
enable us to supply all of the demands for 1911. 
However, we urge that orders come forward early. 
before the book is mailed. Please see to it that 
notice is sent us immediately of any change, so 
that your name and address may correctly appear 
in our files. 
A Note From a Visitor 
f AST September W. F. Wentworth, one of our 
valued customers of Antwerp, Ohio, visited 
the Kellogg Farms. Upon his return home he 
wrote us as follows: "When in Three Rivers a 
few days ago I thought I could not leave without 
first seeing your strawberry farm from which I 
had received catalogues and also bought plants. I 
am glad I did so, for I enjoyed the visit, and also 
learned many things about raising strawberries. 
You surely understand your business, and anyone 
who is thinking of raising strawberries very ex- 
tensively would profit by seeing your farm, and 
also by buying plants from you. 
TF our customers who are now growing straw- 
berries will give us the names of varieties al- 
ready in use, it will aid us to better serve them.
