Selecting 
mother 
plants 
Mr. Fraser’s plants were grown during the 
hot, dry, trying summer of 1934, but on account 
of Kellogg’s Overhead Irrigation System, they 
came through in ideal condition. Never did we 
see finer Strawberry plants than were produced 
on our farms that season. 
Cultivating and hoeing on the Kellogg Farms 
likewise makes money for you. The Kellogg 
Farms are known as the weedless farms. Kellogg 
plants are brought up only in their own good 
company. They get the full benefit of the soil’s 
fertility. They are not robbed by vandal weeds. 
But selecting the mother plants is probably 
the most important operation of all. Plants for 
the production of your plants are selected with 
great care. Only the most vigorous, healthy 
and robust plants are chosen as parents. 
There is fruiting quality in every one of 
them and this fruiting quality they pass on 
to the offspring which you receive. 
Hoeing and cultivating 
How would you like yields of 5,000 to 
10,000 quarts of beautiful berries per 
acre? Such yields are often reported by 
Kellogg customers. Such yields will 
make money for you.

9,200 QUARTS PER ACRE 
“1 have been growing strawberries for the past 
ten years and have always used Kellogg plants. 
This past summer l picked over 2,300 quarts 
from one-fourth of an acre. I had one bed con¬ 
taining 240 plants from which l picked 630 
quarts .”—Alfred Harrig, N. Y.

Irrigating 
Preparing 
fertilizer 
Tons and tons of fertilizer are used in grow¬ 
ing your Kellogg Thorobred strawberry plants; 
tons and tons of green crops plowed under, 
Only the best materials are used. 
Yields of one quart per 
plant are common for 
Kellogg Thorobreds. In¬ 
tensive culture some¬ 
times brings as high as 
four quarts per plant.
