of quarts in 1919 from these 800 plants will receive 
our check for S 10.00, and the member producing 
the next greatest number of quarts will receive our 
chock for S5.00. The photographs of these winners 
also will be shown in a later edition of our book. 
The yield reports for 1919 must be in our hands 
by December 10, 1919. 
In addition to the prizes given for big yields, 
we also will give the following prizes for photographs: 
The member sending us the best photograph of 
his strawberry plot taken in 1919 will receive our 
check for S.5.00, and the sender of the next best 
photograph will receive our check for $3.00. These 
photographs may be taken any time during the 
growing season of 1919 whenever conditions are 
hest, but must be in our hands by December 10, 
1919. Each member may send as many photographs 
of his plot as he desires, as each photograph will 
be judged separately. The winning photographs 
will be shown in a later edition of our book. 
The photographs will be judged by the quality 
of the photograph itself and the appearance of 
the plants. Clean cultivation and arrangement of 
rows will be prime factors in determining the 
prize-winning f notographs. 
$100 Cash Profit Was Made From This 
Kellogg Strawberry Club Garden 
in 1917, by John Hopkins, 
a Michigan Boy 
lie writes us as follows: "This has been a 
very unfavorable season for strawberries in our 
.section owing to the late spring 
frosts, but in 
KELLOGG STRAWBERRY CLUB GARDEN OWNED 
BY JOHN HOPKINS, TRAVERSE CITY, MICHIGAN 
spite of this fact, I sold SIOO.OO worth of berries 
from niy Kellogg's Strawberry Club Garden, and 
in addition to this, we had all the berries we could 
use at home." 
How to be a Prize-Winner 
Every member of this Club should read care- 
fully the cultural methods given in this book, 
because the more closely you follow the Kellogg 
Way, the more certEiin you are to win a cash prize, 
and the greater your profit will be. Plants must 
be grown in hills, therefore be sure to follow instruc- 
tions for "hill culture" on page 13. All members 
will receive the same quality of plants and will 
have full access to our Free Service Department. 
This is a fair, square race for all. No favoritism 
will be shown any member. A.11 contestants will 
be considered on an equal basis. 
It is difBcidt to tell the members of this club 
how many quarts of berries these 800 plants will 
produce for them, but it has been our experience 
that the Kellogg Pedigree plants grown in hills 
the Kellogg Way, produce at least one quart of 
berries per plant each year. Some of our customers 
report two quarts per plant, and a few of them 
report as many as three quarts per plant. The 
price for common strawberries seldom falls below 
10 cents per quart, while Kellogg berries grown the 
Kellogg Way sell readily for from 15 to 20 cents 
per quart. Figuring conservatively at only one 
quart per plant, these 800 plants should produce 
800 quarts, and at the low selling price of only 10 
cents per quart, the berries from these plants 
should bring 880.00. 
These figures are based upon our past experience 
and the experiences of our customers. The yield 
will increase or decrease according to the season 
and the care which the plants receive. 
Let's Go Out and Play 
Now boys and girls, why not enter into this 
contest with a determination to make it your 
play and pastime? Instead of spending all of your 
•spare time playing games which give you neither 
business training nor profit, spend part of it playing 
the strawberry game which will give you both 
profit and business training. We want you to 
get away from the thought that you are going 
out to work in your strawberries. You will get 
more enjoyment and accomplish more by making 
your strawberry patch your playground instead of 
your work. When a boy or girl plays, they put 
their whole life and being into their play, and if 
you will play the strawberry game the same as 
you play other games, the time will go faster, and 
the longer and more earnestly you play the game, 
the more deeply will you fall in love with it. It's 
just as much fun to hitch yourself up to your cart 
or wheelbarrow and play horse hauling manure 
and scattering it between your strawberry rows as 
it is to play horse with the boys, and accomplish 
nothing worth while. 
And besides, think of the satisfaction at the close 
of the season in having enough money to buy that 
watch, kodak, or suit of clothes, or in having a 
bank account for college expenses. 
We want every boy and girl who joins Kellogg's 
Strawberry Club to forget that there is any work 
connected with strawberry growing, and when 
you go out to hoe or cultivate, don't start with the 
-40—
