Kellogg Pedigree Plants Live and Thrive in all 
Parts of the United States and Canada 
It's all in the Vigor of the Plants and the Way they are Packed 
READ what Kellogg customers say in regard 
to our method of packing and the care and 
attention given to their orders: 
"My Kellogg Pedigree Plants arrived in splendid 
condition, and I thank you for the care ttiken in 
filling my order." 
Mrs. a. M. Smith, California. 
"Received both shipments of plants and they 
are perfectly satisfactory. You certainly do trim, 
label and pack plants in fine shape, and it is well 
worth the slight additional cost to get them that 
way." W. T. Weib, Illinois. 
"Just a word of appreciation of your square 
deaUng and fair treatment. My Kellogg Pedigree 
Plants arrived in fine condition, and their quality 
was the best I ever have seen. My first shipment 
was short a few plants and you replaced them as 
cheerfully as you filled my original order. You 
are the kind of a concern I like to deal with — one 
that is not afraid to take someone else's word." 
Clyde A. Smith, Indiana. 
"I received my Kellogg Pedigree strawberry 
plants today in excellent condition, and believe 
that from the way they were packed, they would 
have kept for weeks." 
F. X. Gagnon, Massachusetts. 
"The Kellogg Pedigree Plants I ordered from 
you arrived on the 11th and are certainly fine, 
such roots and big measure. You know human 
nature is the same everywhere — want all you buy 
and a little more. Well, that is what I got. Thanks." 
J. E. Clements, Michigan. 
Yokohama, Japan, May 6, 1917. 
Messrs. R. M. Kellogg Co., 
Three Rivers, Mich. 
Gentlemen: — We are pleased to advise you that 
the Kellogg Strawberry Plants you shipped us from 
your farm arrived here May 4 in excellent condition. 
Although the plants were twenty-seven days in 
transit, we believe every plant will survive the 
ordeal. 
We set the plants today and the Kellogg's 
Premier and Magic Gem arc exceptionally fine plants. 
We thank you for your liberal count. We are so 
much the more pleased with the outcome of this 
trial order, as similar shipments from Eastern and 
California growers have proved failures. Just 
before receiving your plants, another lot arrived 
from Maryland, but this shipment of plants was 
not much better than fertilizer. 
Your method of cleaning and packing plants is 
far superior to the others. When your plants 
arrived the moss was still slightly wet and the 
plants still fresh and vigorous. Your shipment 
missed the Empress of Russia or it would have 
arrived one week earlier. 
Yours very truly, 
Stadelman & Co. 
Another lot of Kellogg Pedigree Plants was 
ordered by the Government of Buenos Aires, 
South America, and we were informed by the 
government oflicials of that country that our plants 
arrived in perfect growing condition, and that we 
were the only United States grower who ever suc- 
ceeded in getting plants to them alive. These 
plants also were in transit several weeks. 
Another order came to us from Christ Church, 
New Zealand, and the party who received this 
shipment reported that the plants arrived in excel- 
lent condition, and to verify his statement sent us 
a cluster of leaves which he picked from the plants 
several weeks after they were set. These leaves 
were extra large and showed great vigor. 
We now receive armual orders from New Zealand. 
A woman strawberry grower in Switzerland sent 
us an order for plants and the plants were in such 
fine condition when she received them and the first 
season's crop from these plants was so large that 
she sent us a second order. In addition to the 
foreign shipments mentioned here, we have shipped 
Kellogg Pedigree Plants to England, Bohemia, 
Bermuda Islands, Hawaii, Alaska and Australia. 
In fact, wherever strawberries are grown, you will 
find Kellogg Pedigree plants thriving and producing 
big crops of dehcious berries. 
Our success in delivering plants in good growing 
condition to customers everywhere lies in the vigor 
of the plants themselves and our original and careful 
method of packing and preparing them for shipment. 
Your plants will be of the same vigorous strain and 
packed in the same careful manner as the plants 
which survived these long journeys. (It's all in 
the vigor and pack.)
