As High as $159.60 per Acre per 
Day from Keith’s Kanner King 
This new variety, Keith’s Kanner King, has proven 
itself to be the most productive and profitable va¬ 
riety one can grow. It has a record of yielding 
at the rate of 2,280 quarts of berries per acre in one 
day’s picking. Figuring these at only 7c per quart 
net, you would have $159.60 clear for your one- 
day’s picking. This is what this highly productive 
variety can do for you under average conditions. 
NOT AFFECTED BY DRY WEATHER 
For the past four years we have had very dry 
weather during the spring strawberry season. De¬ 
spite this fact, Kanner King has not been affected 
like other varieties growing in some field. Last 
spring was extremely hot and dry at strawberry 
time, but Kanner King led them all with yields 
at the rate of 1,440 quarts per acre per day. 
These profitable yields during dry weather is 
due to Kanner King’s long well developed root 
system. We have noted other varieties wilting flat 
to the ground during droughts when Kanner King 
stood upright, hardly showing signs of the drought. 
Kanner King Is a Great Yielder 
Above is a commercial field (% A.) of Kanner King from which one day’s yield went at the rate 
of 2,280 quarts per acre. This picture was taken when the plants were in bloom. Don’t know 
as you can notice them or not, but note the immense number of blossoms on the plants, and they 
continue to come for days. This is what gives Kanner King its long fruiting season. Kanner' 
King produces lots of beautiful, attractive berries that excell for table use or canning and the\ 
like. Only one variety necessary when you set Kanner King. 
Keith’s KANNER KING - The Coming Commercial Strawberry 
STANDS ROUGH HANDLING HAS COLOR THAT SELLS THEM 
There is one thing a strawberry must have to become a good com¬ 
mercial variety and that is—it must withstand rough handling and 
long distant hauling by truck or train. Kanner King has this char¬ 
acteristic. It stood up for 84 hours during which time it was carried 
50 miles in a car and handled several times. (See p. 13.) 
The color of Kanner King berries is what attracts buyers and it is 
a lasting one. They retain this attractive color for hours after pick¬ 
ing, also after canning. They are a solid red clear through. It is 
what you might call a “permanent red,” much like the old Senator 
Dunlap only more lasting. 
HAULED FOR 450 MILES 
Last spring at strawberry time we trucked Kanner King as far as 
450 miles and they arrived in good marketable condition, selling at 
top notch prices in retail stores. Crates of other varieties were sent 
in the truck loads to check with the Kanner King. The only variety 
that came anywhere near standing the trip besides Kanner King was 
the Premier. 
THE BEST FOR CANNING, PRESERVES, ETC. 
Kanner King, with its rich bright red color inside and out, its firm¬ 
ness and lasting strawberry flavor, makes an ideal canning berry for 
home use, also for commercial purposes. They are the “Perfect 
canning” berry. It was selected as one of the best at the Michigan 
State Experiment Station, also by the largest Canning Company in 
southern Michigan. Why? Because it holds its size, shape, color 
and flavor after being cooked. 
Kanner King berries are cher¬ 
ished by housewives. Pan fulls of 
delicious berries for the tabic 
every day. There is no belter 
berry for every day use. —Rich 
red color, red to the heart, won¬ 
derful sweet strawberry flavor 
and good size. What more could 
you want? Kanner King is a 
very productive variety. There’s 
money in a field of Kanner King. 
8 Qts. per 30 Ft. Row 
per One Day’s Picking 
A Kanner King row 30 ft. long yielded 
8 qts. of berries per one day’s picking. 
This would give your family lots of 
berries to use each day during straw¬ 
berry time in the spring.
