This variety derives its name from its many superb characteristics. Its
plants grow low and spreading and are exceedingly vigorous, the heavy
foliage completely covering the blossoms and berries and furnishing a
splendid protection from the hot summer sun and late fall frosts.
Although Superb does not produce as heavily as our other everbearing
varieties, its berries which are of the round type are extra large,
strictly fancy and most delicious. They are deep red from surface to
center and when packed for market present a most beautiful appearance,
always finding ready sale at high prices regardless of market
conditions. They are of exceptionally firm texture and ideal for
shipping as they will carry a considerable distance and arrive in
perfect condition. Superb is universally acknowledged “The Big
Everbearing Wonder.” For prices of Superb plants see Page 66, column 5.
“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.
