This wonderful new mid-season bi-sexual variety which we are offering this year for the first time, is really self-named and it gives us great pleasure to introduce it to you as Kellogg’s Delicious, (The Strawberry That Satisfies).
Dee-licious! Unconsciously,—almost involuntarily, a taste of its berries compels this exclamation for never have you tasted anything more lastingly delicious.
We began testing Kellogg’s Delicious several years ago. Its wonderful productiveness and the supremely delicious flavor of its berries impressed us so favorably that we immediately communicated with the originators, asking for a full and complete description of the variety as it grew and fruited with them. To our satisfaction, they informed us that their experience was practically identical with ours.
Kellogg’s Delicious is the result of scientific crossing and breeding. It was originated by Travis Brothers, Cleveland, N. Y. and their description of this variety is so true to life as it has grown and fruited with us, that we are presenting it with our stamp of approval:
You too, can grow big, fancy, “KELLOGG’S DELICIOUS” Strawberries. It’s easy, profitable and lots of fun. Try it and become convinced.
“Kellogg’s Delicious is the most promising mid-season bi-sexual strawberry grown today. It thrives in practically all soils and climates. The plants are vigorous and healthy and root very deeply. Foliage is beautiful dark green and exceptionally resistant to leaf spot. It is enormously productive and the berries of the last picking are nearly as large as the first. Even in poor soil it will produce a large crop of good sized berries. Berries are uniformly large and fancy, dark red throughout from surface to center and exceedingly easy to pick and hull. They are produced in large clusters on strong, sturdy fruit stalks. Their flavor is delicious beyond description, hence its name.
You cannot recommend Kellogg’s Delicious too highly as its performance more than justifies your most eloquent endorsement.”
We have thoroughly tested Kellogg’s Delicious for several seasons and now are offering it to our customers with the full assurance that it will produce berries of more delicious quality than any other variety of its season and that it is not exceeded in productiveness by any other mid-season variety.
The commercial grower will find it highly profitable because its berries are large and firm and ship and carry splendidly. It also is one of the very choicest and most economical varieties for the home garden as its berries are so sweet, mild and delicious that they are thoroughly relished as dessert even when served with little or no sugar.
