whole desire is to win, and this will be especially 
true in playing the strawberry game, because a 
big cash profit is sure to be enjoyed by all who 
play the game earnestly; and winners of this

From the time the plants are set until the berries 
are ripe, the fun and pleasure increases every day. 
Your strawberry play ground becomes more 
beautiful daily because the plants are developing 
and growing larger all the time. When your plants 
are in full blossom, you have a flower bed unequalled 
for beauty, and when you begin picking and selling 
your berries, you reach the most e.xciting and 
most profitable part of the game. It is then you 
begin to make your big cash profit and to rcaUze 
that strawberry growing is a game worth while. 
That's why we say, " Play the Strawberry Game to 
Win and You Will Win." 
Letter from the Winner of $15.00 
First Prize in 1917 
Clayton, Mo., July 1, 1917. 
Gentlemen: — I have just finished harvesting a 
most splendid crop of fancy, high-grade strawberries 
from the 2,000 Kellogg Pedigree plants I purchased 
from you when I joined Kellogg's Strawberry Club. 
From the 2,000 plants I sold 1,631 quarts of 
fancy berries which brought me S197.7o, and in 
addition, my mother used at least $30.00 worth 
for our own family, making a total of $227.75 
from an investment of only $15.00. 
My berries won such a reputation that it was 
impossible for me to supply the demand for them. 
They sold at top-notch prices and were the finest 
berries on the market and the wonder of this 
entire community. As an inexperienced boy just 
beginning to grow strawberries, didn't I succeed 
well enough to boast? 
I hesitated to set these plants in the best soil 
as it was an experiment with me and, I must con- 
fess, I was somewhat skeptical at first, but I am 
now just as enthusiastic about strawberry growing 
as anyone possibly could be tmd intend to adopt 
it as my life work. 
I also want to say that your company is doing 
all and more than you claim. I have found you 
fair, honest and courteous in every way. 'The 
way you help your customers through your Free 
Service Department is all that could possibly be 
desired and I shall continue to order Kellogg 
Pedigree plants. Milan V.^skov. 
In addition to the $227.75 reahzed from his 
berry crop, this boy also won first cash prize of 
$15.00, a total of $242.75. 
Letter from Second Prize Winner 
J. W. Gibbs, Charleston, 111., who won second 
prize in Kellogg's Strawberry Club in 1917, writes 
us as follows: 
"Although we had a severe cyclone here followed 
by three weeks of extemely wet weather during 
the fruiting season, I picked 1300 quarts of beautiful 
berries from my 2,000 Kellogg Pedigree plants. I 
sold 550 quarts at 15 cents per quart and 750 
quarts at 123^ cents per quart. My total cash 
sales were $176.25. This is at the rate of $1,233.75 
per acre." 
The cash profit of $176.25, together with the 
second cash prize of $10.00, made strawberry grow- 
ing exceedingly profitable for this young man. 
Letter from Third Prize Winner 
Binghamtcm, N. Y., July 8, 1917. 
Gentlemen: — Although my strawberry plants 
arrived in a heavy snow-storm and it was several 
days before I could set them out, they have made 
a remarkable growth and many have asked me 
what kind of plants I have. 
Kellogg's Premier was the first to ripen and the 
berries were such mammoth beauties that I sold 
them for 18 cents per quart. 
In spite of the unfavorable season, I made a 
cash profit of $140.57, and besides we had all 
the berries we could use at home. 
I am very much interested in strawberry 
growing. Yours truly, Clara Steere.
