STRAWBERRIES 
ON THE FARM 
THERE is nothing a farmer can grow that 
will add more to the enjoyment of his family 
than strawberries, and it requires less work 
and less experience to grow strawberries than any 
other crop. 
The strawberry is the first fruit to ripen in the 
spring and the last to ripen in the fall. With both 
standard and everbearing varieties, a farmer can 
supply his family with delicious strawberries picked 
fresh from the vines from June to November, and 
they can be prepared in many different ways for 
winter. On pages 44-4.5 we give thirty different ways 
of preparing strawberries. 
Many farmers not only are supplying their 
families with strawberries of their own growing 
every day in the year, but are also making a big 
cash profit from the sale of the surplus berries. 
A farmer would not think of buying his vege- 
tables because he knows that it is much cheaper 
to grow them himself, and that vegetables fresh 
from his own garden are better tt an can be bought 
at any price. 
The same is true of strawberries, and the farmer 
who fails to grow his own strawberries not only is 
losing money but is depriving himself and his 
family of the healthiest and most delicious fruit 
that grows. 
A farmer who grows strawberries for market 
as well as for home use will find nothing more 
profitable. No farmer can afiford to be vrilhout 
strawberries because 
One Acre of Strawberries Gives a 
Greater Cash Profit Than Twenty 
Acres of Common Farm Crops 
A great many fanners are paying the entire 
expenses of their farm until their rcgiJar farm 
crops are ready for market, others are paying off 
mortgages, or paying their taxes from the profits 
of their strawberry patch. Instead of using the 
profits from your regular farm crops for spending 
money and incidentals, why not let strawberries 
furnish this ex-tra money for you, and supply your 
family with all the delicious strawberries they can 
use the year 'round without cost? Kellogg Pedigree 
Plants and Kellogg's Free Service will enable you 
to do this. 
Mr. Ezra Lanning of Sturgis, Mich., sold 
$150.00 worth of berries from only one-sixth of an 
acre of Kellogg Pedigree Plants in one season, 
besides fully supplying his family with delicious 
berries. lie has been a continuous Kellogg customer 
for the past twenty-five years. 
Mr. C. E. Cade, another Michigan farmer who 
also uses Kellogg Pedigree Plants sold SSJjO.OO 
worth of berries from one-half acre in addition to 
fully supplying his family. 
$200.00 NET CASH PROFIT FROM THIS SMALL STRAWBERRY PATCH IN 1917 
Mr. G. Grimes, a prosperous Michigan farmer, made $200.00 net cosh profit in 1917 from tliis small patch of less than one- 
half acre of KoIIokk Pedigree Plants, besides fully supplying his family with all the delicious strawberries they could use. The small 
amount of work required to care for the patch was done during his snare time aud did not interfere wilh his regular farm work. 
Mr. (xrimes has found strawberry growing so profitable that ho has doubled his acreage for fruiting in 1918. lie is just an 
ordinary farmer and what he has done, any farmer can do.
