Kellogg’s Premier today is unquestionably the most popular and most widely grown extra-early variety. Its popularity is well earned and deserved, for no other variety of its season can boast its equal in productiveness, size and quality of berries and adaptability to all soils and climates.

Kellogg’s Premier is a strong growing bisexual and although classed as extra-early because of its unusually early ripening, it perhaps has the longest fruiting season of all standard varieties; an ideal pollenizer for early, medium and late pistillates.

The plants grow large, root deeply and indicate no preference as to soil or climate, thriving everywhere and withstanding drouth to a remarkable degree.

The foliage is tall and heavy, forming a canopy-like protection for the great clusters of mammoth berries which are produced beneath on long, strong fruit stalks. The berries are large, deep red, beautifully formed and of mild, yet most delicious flavor.

Its fruiting capacity is so great as to seem almost magic and in quality its berries outclass all other varieties of its season. Everyone who has grown Kellogg’s Premier or seen this variety in fruit agrees with us that it is indeed “The Prize-Winner and Money-Maker” of all extra-early varieties.

“Have just finished picking my Kellogg’s Premier and although this County ships 40 to 60 cars of strawberries daily, my Premier berries made the ‘hit of the season’. I had many opportunities to sell my entire patch for next season, prospective buyers telling me just to name my price.”

J. LLOYD STERLING, Maryland.

“Never, during my 37 years’ experience in growing strawberries, have I found any variety that in yield and quality of berries could equal Kellogg’s Premier. My Premier berries sold readily, in fact were in great demand, at an advance of 10 cents per quart over market prices.”

ARTHUR BICKFORD, Illinois.

“I am very highly pleased with your Kellogg’s Premier. My plants of this variety produced berries last season which laid side by side ran 18 berries to the yard. This variety is certainly all you claim. I am considered the leading authority on strawberries in this vicinity and always recommend Kellogg Pedigree Plants.”

F. W. BURLINGAME, Ohio.

“I have nothing but the highest praise for Kellogg Pedigree Plants. Am especially pleased with Kellogg’s Premier and Dr. Burrill--both ‘Stem Winders’. They are even more than you claim for them.”

J. F. DOWELL, Oklahoma.

“Our Kellogg’s Premier and Dr. Burrill produced the most beautiful strawberries we ever have seen. Picked about 250 quarts from only 175 plants.”

OSCAR LARSON, Illinois.

“Dr. Burrill is a most wonderful variety. From only five rows 135 feet long, we have all had we could use at home and realized over $41.00 from the surplus berries this season.”

M. S. WIMAN, Kansas.

“I find Dr. Burrill a strong, vigorous grower, excellent producer and splendid drouth resister.”

L. B. HIBSCHWILER, New York.

“Kellogg Pedigree Plants are fine, especially Dr. Burrill. They are truly wonderful,--such large vigorous plants and such heavy fruiters.”

MRS. FRANK L. JONES, Maine.
