“I have just returned home from my recent trip during which I visited your farm and wish to take this means of thanking you for the very cordial hospitality extended to me and the opportunity to see for myself what you are doing. I was greatly impressed with your organization under which your work is systematized into departments, also the neatness which prevailed everywhere. I was also very favorably impressed with your splendid Skinner Irrigation System which has carried you so successfully through the season’s severe drouth. Your vigorous plant and rotation crops furnish evidence of good judgment in installing this system of irrigation.
The thorough manner in which every detail of your work is carried out naturally adds to the cost of producing Kellogg Pedigree Plants but the resulting improvement in quality amply justifies the expenditure.
Regardless of the price your customers pay for Kellogg Pedigree Plants, their investment is a sound one. Your methods insure success and I am sure you will continue to reap it.” ALBERT J. HARTUNG, Michigan.
Kellogg’s Everbearers
(For photo-engravings see [Pages 8] and [45])
Kellogg’s Everbearers begin fruiting the first year about three months after plants are set and continue to fruit heavily until checked by severe winter weather. The following year they begin fruiting in June, producing a spring crop fully as large as many of the standard varieties and (after a rest period in July) another enormous crop during the summer and fall. They are not affected by frost or light freezing. We have picked and served delicious Everbearing Strawberries early in December after a six-inch snowfall.
The high prices received for fall berries and the fact that Kellogg’s Everbearers produce a substantial crop the same season the plants are set, makes them highly desirable for the home garden or commercial strawberry grower.
To anyone who never has grown or seen the Everbearers fruiting in the fall and who is inclined to question their summer and fall fruiting habits, we want to say that it is difficult—yes, practically impossible to keep off the late summer and fall blossoms, so persistent is their nature to fruit at that time.
They have been developed out of the experimental stage, their success is absolutely unquestionable and we recommend them with our highest endorsement.
