“My Superb and Progressive Everbearers fruited forty days last spring. They began fruiting again in August and were loaded with blossoms and fruit right up until winter. The berry illustrations in your catalog have nothing on what I could have shown last season when this patch of Everbearers was fruiting.”

R. B. SLAVEN, West Virginia.

“I have found Kellogg’s Superb Everbearing variety all that you claim for it and expect to set more plants of this variety next season. I have no trouble whatever in disposing of all my extra berries at 35 cents per quart.”

MRS. E. E. ADKINS, South Dakota.

“I have had the best of success with Kellogg’s Superb Everbearers. Plants grow as big as a bushel basket and sure are beauties. I am enclosing an order for more plants to be shipped next spring.”

LOUIS BALFANZ, Wisconsin.

“Kellogg’s Superb Everbearers and Hearts of Gold Cantaloupes grew side by side in my garden last summer. Both did splendidly and were the very best to be had.”

MRS. L. J. BURCKHARDT, Kansas.

“We find Kellogg Everbearers fully up to the standard you claim for them. They are the highest quality plants we have ever had.”

PETER V. CODDINGTON, New York.

“We are well pleased with Kellogg’s Everbearing strawberries. Had an abundance of berries last year from mid-summer until Thanksgiving.”

JAMES G. CORTELYOU, California.

“The small trial order of Kellogg Everbearers which we received from you last spring has given wonderful satisfaction. We had ripe berries right up to November. As a result of this experience, I intend to go into the strawberry business on a much larger scale and will set Kellogg Pedigree Plants.”

E. H. DIENST, Saskatchewan, Canada.

“Saw your advertisement in Country Gentleman and am sending herewith an order and payment for Kellogg Everbearing Plants. I hope I am not too late to get these plants as strawberries are selling here at 50 cents a quart which is too much for hard working people to pay.”

MRS. C. F. CARR, New York.

“To say the least, we are simply delighted with Kellogg’s Everbearers. People come from miles around to see and purchase our berries. We have picked big, delicious berries in large quantities from May 28th until November 14th, selling all our berries right at home at an average price of 30 cents per quart. Had no trouble in selling all we raised and could have sold many more. We have recommended Kellogg Pedigree Plants to our friends for miles around, and anyone who writes me in regard to them will receive my answer, ‘They are all that is claimed for them and we cannot recommend them too highly.’ Please send me your catalog as I wish to order more Kellogg Plants next spring.”

F. A. LASHURE, Ohio.

“From one row of Kellogg’s Peerless Everbearers only 113 feet long, I picked 25 quarts at one picking.”

J. S. COOK, Iowa.

The Big, Solid Beauty

MALE OR BI-SEXUAL (B)

(For photo-engraving see Page 56)]

All who have grown Peerless or seen it in fruit highly recommend this variety both for home use and market.

It produces a big spring crop and throughout the summer and fall the plants are simply a mass of blossoms and fruit.

Peerless, in many respects, bears a close resemblance to Superb. Its foliage, however, grows taller and more upright than Superb. Its berries are fully as large as those produced by Superb but are a trifle darker in color. Both the spring and fall berries are large, round, of glossy dark-red color and highly flavored. Their beauty attracts the eye and their flavor satisfies the most exacting epicure. Peerless has been well termed “The Big Solid Beauty.” For prices of Peerless plants see Page 66, column 5.
