“Kellogg’s Big Late is a wonderful variety. The berries hold up fine after picking.”

MRS. E. S. EGGLESTON, Indiana.

“Kellogg’s Big Late is all that can be desired in a strawberry. This variety stands extremes of weather unusually well.”

CLYDE FORMAN, Kansas.

“This is the fourth year we have grown Kellogg’s Big Late which is now loaded with fruit. Both this variety and your Superb Everbearer are excellent.”

ADAM RAE, Washington.

“Kellogg’s Big Late is the leading strawberry in our locality. I sold my berries at 40 cents per single quart or $8.00 per crate, realizing $1,213.95 from only one-half acre. In addition, I also paid quite a few pickers’ bills in berries, supplied all our own family of ten could use on the table and we canned and preserved our winter supply, of which no account was kept. The varieties were Kellogg’s Big Four and Big Late.”

H. A. WYSONG, Indiana.

“This Kellogg Strawberry Garden produced more berries than we could possibly use. It has shown me ‘the open door of opportunity’ and I now want to order about 3,000 Kellogg Pedigree Plants. I am especially interested in Kellogg Everbearers. Please send me your latest price list.”

We are listing Gibson this season for the first time in response to an increasing demand for plants of this variety.

Although considered by some to be identical with Parson’s Beauty and Pocomoke and resembling these varieties in some characteristics, we consider it superior to both.

Gibson is a strong mid-season bi-sexual,--an ideal pollenizer.

Its plants grow strong and vigorous and root heavily. The foliage is glossy, dark-green, tough and heavy in texture and remarkably resistant to drouth, insects and disease.

Gibson is wonderfully productive of large, firm, round-conic berries which are uniform in size and shape and beautiful dark crimson from surface to center. They are of mild, delicious flavor; ideal for immediate table use, also excellent for canning or shipping as they retain their beautiful color, form and natural flavor when canned for winter or shipped to distant markets. The berries hold up in size right through the season, practically every berry reaching maturity and ripening evenly.

Gibson is grown almost exclusively as a market berry in some sections and is rapidly increasing in popularity because it “Makes Good Everywhere.” For prices of Gibson plants see Page 66, column 2.

Rare indeed are varieties which possess the winning qualities embodied in Kellogg’s Big Wonder. Here is a strong, medium-late bisexual which, in foliage and plant growth, simply “can’t be beat.”

The plants grow very tall and vigorous and the leaves which are borne on strong, heavy stems, are large, dark green, of exceptionally tough texture and practically immune to disease. A long, heavy root system enables this variety to withstand weather extremes to a remarkable degree. Its berries are large, glossy dark-red and highly flavored. It produces abundantly and the berries are well protected by the foliage. You will like Kellogg’s Big Wonder as it is indeed “A Wonderful Strawberry.” For prices of Kellogg’s Big Wonder plants see Page 66, column 3.

“My Kellogg’s Big Wonder plants are such fine specimens that I am enclosing herewith an order for more and remittance of $9.00 in payment.”

J. J. WOLFE, Iowa.

“I am very well pleased with Kellogg’s Big Late and Sionilli which I received from you last year. These varieties have given me a big crop of high quality berries for which I received the highest price throughout the season.”
