uperfection 
verbearer 
This newest of the Everbearers promises much. We recommend 
that you try a few and see how it does for you under your own 
conditions. You may find that it is a winner. 

Superfection berries are more solid than average, and will ever 
withstand shipping. They are dark red clear through—coloring is 
much better than pictures can show—and they have a pleasing tangy 
flavor. Superfection is a heavy yielder, and starts fruiting about 
three months after planting, and continues heavily until stopped by 
freezing weather. It is highly praised by many growers, and again 
we recommend that you try a few to test it under your conditions.

The KEY TO STRAWBERRY PROFITS 
Choosing Plants 
The quality of the plants you set de- 
termines the quality and quantity of 
berries you will pick. Note the plant 
in heavy fruit below. No matter how 
good the soil was, no matter how 
well it was prepared, and no mat- 
ter how well this plant had been 

cared for after planting, it could not 
have produced such a heavy crop of 
berries had it not been a healthy, 
vigorous plant with inborn fruiting 
qualities in the beginning. 
Pure-bred, true-to-name plants se- 
lected from mother plants of the 
highest fruiting powers are the 
foundation of a_ profitable berry 
crop, but plants which are taken 
from fruiting beds, or which have been prop- 
agated without any regard to selection and 
restriction soon will deteriorate and become 
unprofitable, if indeed they are not unprofit- 
able from the very beginning. 
Whether you grow Strawberries for home 
use or market it is to your profit to set plants 
which will respond readily to the intensive 
cultural methods described in this book. 
Kelloge’s thoroughbred Strawberry Plants 
are recognized throughout the world as the 
most productive and most profitable Straw- 
berry plants grown. They can be secured 
only from R. M. Kellogg Company, Three 
Rivers, Michigan. 
Soils 
Any soil that will produce vegetables or 
common farm crops also will produce Straw- 
berries providing it is well drained. However, 
old timothy sod should be avoided on ac- 
count of white grubs. 
The kind of soil you have is not so import- 
ant as what is put into the soil, the manner 
in which it is prepared, and the cultural 
methods followed. Soil is nothing more than 
the home where the plants live and it is the 
feeding and care which they receive that en- 
courages their growth and _ productiveness. 
Strawberries thrive in high and low altitudes 
and in all soils and climates, therefore, in- 
stead of seeking better soil, improve your 
own soil by following the instructions given 
in this book. 
Soil Preparation 
Whenever possible it is advisable to plow 
or spade your field or garden in the fall and 
the following spring re-plow. If it is impos- 
sible to plow in the fall, plow just as early in 
the spring as weather conditions will permit.
