Rev. J. R. Reasoner, Originator of the Worid-Famed 
Senator Dunlap and Dr. Burrill Varieties, Endorses 
Kellogg Statements and Methods 
WIE following tribute from Rev. J. R. Reasoner, veteran 
strawberry grower and originator of Senator Dunlap 
and Dr. Burrill, two of the most popular varieties ever 
introduced — (each the result of many years of untiring 
effort in scientific crossing and breeding)— should be of 
special significance to every one who grows or contemplates 
gi-owing strawberries. Dr. Reasoner is of quiet, unassuming 
disposition. To know is to love, respect and admire this 
grand old gentleman to whom honor and right are para- 
mount. He has been acquainted with us for years and his 
selection of our Company to present to the world Dr. Burrill, the Million Dollar 
Strawberry, was a substantial expression of the tribute presented below. Read his letter: 
J. R. REASONER 
Originator of Senator Dunlap 
and Dr. Burrill 
Urbana, III., August 10, 1921.

Three Rivers, Mich. 
Gentlemen : 
For many years I have read with considerable interest "Great Crops 
of Strawberries and How to Grow Them" and have been very favorably im- 
pressed with your fair, honest descriptions of varieties and the scientific methods 
under which Kellogg Pedigree Plants are produced. Your claims of superiority 
impress me as being fully justified. 
Your efforts in improving the strawberry, stimulating its culture and especially 
in encouraging the home strawberry garden are highly commendable. I am con- 
vinced that you are doing a wonderful work and that as plant breeders, you rank 
among the country's great benefactors. 
If I were twenty-five years younger and in good health, I would again en- 
gage in plant breeding but when a fellow reaches my age, he loses his recuper- 
ative forces. 
My Senator Dunlap and Dr. Burrill were not financial successes to me count- 
ing the years of labor required to perfect them, but the satisfaction that they have 
been of such great benefit to humanity is ample compensation to me. 
You have my best wishes for abundant success which you so fully deserve 
and I hope that you may realize your largest expectations. 
■\TEVER have we known of a single instance in which a visit here failed to convince that everything is just as we represent or even 
mltter The following is an extract from a letter written us by one of the officials of the Michigan Horticultural Department up- 
on ^^^.f „ith much interest. It not only should attract present and P';»^P"''-^*t''^"berry Sowers but Its 
illustrations and descriptions give a very accurate idea of your different varieties as I have seen them growing on the Kellogg Farm.
