Kellogg’s Big Late is a strong growing late pistillate, an excellent
drouth resister, has a long, heavy root system, large healthy foliage
and is a big, robust crown-builder. It is a consistently heavy producer
of large, deep scarlet colored berries which are produced abundantly in
clusters on long fruiting stems. Their highly delicious flavor and
fragrant aroma leaves nothing to be desired. A beautiful bright green
calyx which remains fresh and bright longer after picking than most
varieties crowns each berry. This, together with the firm, solid berry
texture, makes Big Late a desirable shipping variety.
This is the sixth consecutive season we have offered Kellogg’s Big Late
to our customers and the increasing orders for this variety each year is
evidence of its popularity.
Given an opportunity, Kellogg’s Big Late will convince you that words
and pictures are incapable of rendering a just description of this
variety,--that it is “The Queen of Quality and Quantity.”

“Kellogg’s Big Late produces uniformly large berries and the flavor is
all that any lover of strawberries could wish for. I would not want
any better variety.”
JOHN W. COOPER, Kansas.
“Some of my Big Late berries measured 4 to 5 inches in circumference.
They have made folks here sit up and take notice and agree with me
that it pays to set Kellogg Pedigree Plants.”
T. H. SMITH, Iowa.
“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.
