SPRAYING  CALENDER 

EXPLANATION — While  the  number  of  applications  recommended  will  be  found 
desirable  in  seasons  when  the  fungi  are  particularly  troublesome,  a smaller  number 
may  often  suffice.  An  asterisk  (*)  cautions  against  spraying  with  poisons  while  the 
plants  are  in  blossom;  two  asterisks  (**)  indicate  that  there  is  danger  in  making  an 
application  within  3 weeks  of  the  time  the  fruit  is  to  be  used  as  food.

Do  not  spray  with  arsenites  or  copper  compounds  within  three  weeks  of  the 
time  the  sprayed  portions  are  to  be  eaten.  While  there  would  be  no  danger  of  fatal 
effects  resulting,  it  is  best  not  to  run  any  risk.  Bordeaux  mixture  and  other  lime  com- 
pounds should  not  be  used  upon  rough  or  full-grown  vines  even  as  late  as  that  time. 
Not  only  does  the  lime  disfigure  the  fruit,  but  the  amount  of  copper  is  large. 


ANNOUNCEMENT 

SIXTY-THIRD  YEAR 

SIXTY-THREE  Years  ago  this  business  was  established  by  Geo.  J.  Kellogg,  father 
of  the  present  proprietor.  During  that  time  it  has  been  the  policy  of  this  firm  to  offer 
to  the  public  such  varieties  of  fruits  of  all  kinds,  and  such  ornamental  trees,  shrubs, 
etc.,  as  have  in  our  judgment  been  proven  to  be  hardly  and  reliable.  From  time  to  time 
we  offer  new  varieties  but  in  doing  so  we  select  only  such  as  we  believe  have  merited 
a place  in  our  trial  plats  and  are  worthy  of  a general  trial. 

We  extend  our  thanks  to  our  customers  in  the  past;  and  from  those  who 
receive  this  list,  who  have  not  heretofore  favored  us  with  their  patronage,  we  solicit  a 
trial  order,  feeling  sure  we  can  interest  you  with  our  prices  and  satisfy  with  our  goods. 
We  want  our  customers  to  get  value  received. 

We  offer  a large  stock  of  trees,  plants,  vines,  etc.,  of  the  best  standard  varieties, 
well  grown  and  thrifty.  All  stock  is  handled  and  packed  under  cover  with  no  exposure 
to  sun  or  wind;  packing  is  done  by  experienced  men  under  our  personal  direction 

We  deliver  the  goods  well  packed  to  the  transportation  companies,  after  whicii 
our  responsibility  ceases. 

WE  DO  NOT  GUARANTEE  STOCK  TO  GROW  at  the  prices  we  ask.  The  planter 
must  take  that  risk  and  give  all  stock  good  care.  Where  parties  wish  stock  guaranteed 
to  grow  we  do  so  but  at  an  advanced  price. 

GUARANTEE — We  exercise  the  greatest  care  to  have  all  stock  true  to  name  and 
grade  and  satisfactory  in  every  way,  but  it  is  hereby  agreed  between  the  purchaser 
and  ourselves  that  should  any  stock  not  prove  true  to  name,  on  proper  proof,  w<s 
will  replace  it  or  refund  the  purchase  price,  but  shall  not  be  held  for  further  damage. 

CLAIMS — All  claims  for  shortage,  errors,  etc.,  must  be  made  within  FIVE  DAYS  of 
receipt  of  stock,  or  same  will  not  be  allowed.  Mistakes  do  occur;  but  we  are  always 
willing  to  do  all  we  can  to  correct  any  errors  for  which  we  are  responsible.  But  in 
making  complaints  be  reasonable. 

ORDERS  are  acknowledged  at  once  upon  receipt  of  same,  and  should  you  fail  to 
receive  an  answer  in  ten  days  write  us  again.  Always  give  your  name  and  address* 
and  write  same  very  plainly;  also  give  full  shipping  directions. 

Order  early  before  the  assortments  are  broken  and  thereby  avoid  disappointment 
and  possible  delay. 

Orders  are  shipped  in  rotation,  as  far  as  possible,  and  late  ones  must  take  their 
turn. 

SUBSTITUTION — When  any  variety  or  grade  is  exhausted  we  reserve  the  right  to 
substitute  or  to  put  in  a smaller  grade  of  trees,  unless  otherwise  stated  in  the  order, 
but  in  this  case  the  true  name  will  always  be  on  such  stock,  and  full  value  sent  if 
smaller  grades  are  used.  We  furnish  6 at  dozen,  50  at  hundred  and  500  at  thousand 
rates,  and  allow  an  assortment  of  varieties. 

TERMS— CASH  with  order. 

REMITTANCES — Remit  by  draft  upon  Chicago  or  New  York,  registered  letter, 
money  order  or  express  order.  Parties  sending  personal  checks  must  add  10  cents  to 
cover  cost  of  collection. 

Plant  With  Care,  and  see  that  the  earth  is  packed  firmly  about  the  roots  and  that 
all  trees  planted  are  thoroughly  wet  down  and  well  mulched.  The  ground  should  be 
well  prepared  before  planting  and  given  thorough  cultivation  afterwards. 

On  receipt  of  stock  dip  roots  in  water  and  bury  in  moist  ground,  except  straw- 
berry and  raspberry  plants,  which  should  not  be  wet,  these  should  be  heeled  in  the 
moist  soil,  open  the  bundles  and  spread  out,  packing  the  soil  firmly  to  the  roots.  All 
stock  should  be  set  out  as  soon  as  possible. 

To  parties  wishing  same,  a short  list  of  instructions  in  regard  to  planting  and 
cultivation  of  stock,  spraying  and  formulas,  will  be  mailed  on  request. 

Any  information  not  given  in  this  list  will  be  furnished  on  application. 

PACKING  CHARGES — Bales  of  less  than  50  trees,  25c;  50  to  100  trees,  50c;  150 
trees,  75c.  Where  more  than  150  trees  are  ordered  they  will  have  to  be  boxed,  in 
which  case  no  charge  will  be  made  for  packing  except  the  cost  of  boxing,  as  follows: 
30  by  30  inch  heads,  $2.50;  24  by  24  inch,  $2.00;  18  by  18  inch,  $1.50;  all  8 to  10  feet 
long.  No  charge  for  packing  small  fruit  plants  at  the  list  price  or  for  cartage.  We 
have  Wells  Fargo  and  American  Express  Companies  and  C.  & N.  W.  R.  R.,  C.  M.  & St. 
P.  R.  R.  and  Rockford,  Beloit  & Janesville  Electric  Railway  Company. 

Please  give  preference,  if  any,  by  what  line  you  wish  order  shipped.  Send  your 
orders  direct  to  an  old  reliable  firm  and  save  the  profit  of  the  middleman.  We  thank 
you  for  past  favors  and  solicit  your  further  orders  and  all  orders  sent  us  will  receive 
our  most  careful  attention.  KELLOGG’S  NURSERY, 

M.  S.  Kellogg,  Prop.

PARCELS  POST  SHIPMENTS 

The  regulations  of  the  Post  Office  Department  are  such  that  the  shipment  of  trees 
by  Parcels  Post  is  not  practical;  packages  of  more  than  84  inches  in  combined  length 
and  thickness  are  not  mailable. 

The  following  weights  will  be  a partial  guide  in  helping  to  determine  the  amount 
of  postage  necessary. 

Strawberry  plants,  1 dozen,  1 pound.  50,  three  pounds.  100,  five  pounds.  200, 
seven  pounds.  500,  18  pounds.  1000;  thirty  pounds. 

Currants.  Gooseberries.  Grapes.  1 Dozen,  8 pounds.  25,  seventeen  pounds.  50, 
thirty-three  pounds. 

Raspberries,  black.  1 dozen,  1 lb.  50,  4 lbs.  100,  8 lbs.  Red,  1 doz.  1 lb.  50,  3 % 
lbs.  100,  7 lbs.  Blackberries  same  as  black  raspberries. 

Roses  and  Climbing  Vines,  % dozen,  4 lbs.  1 dozen,  8 lbs. 

Flowering  Shrubs  3 to  4 ft.  not  mailable.  2 to  3 ft.  each  3 lbs.  Dozen,  30  lbs. 

If  you  are  in  doubt  as  to  how  much  to  send  for  postage  after  you  have  asked  your 
postmaster  for  the  zone  and  rate;  send  enough  for  the  postage  or  the  goods  will  be 
sent  by  express.  We  will  not  open  small  accounts  for  postage  and  the  surplus  over 
enough  to  pay  postage  will  be  promptly  returned. 


APPLES 

In  the  propagation  of  this  fruit  we  use  as  nearly  all  nurserymen  do,  the  piece  root 
graft,  using  a long  cion  and  a short  root. 

The  experience  of  over  half  a century  has  demonstrated  that  such  trees  are  better 
for  the  north  than  either  whole  root  grafts  or  budded  trees.  When  the  long  cion  and 
short  root  is  used  the  lower  half  of  the  cion  (which  is  all  below  ground  except  the 
tipper  two  inches)  will  nearly  always  start  roots,  and  these  being  the  same  variety  as 
the  cion  makes  the  tree  hardier  and  longer  lived.  Our  grafts  are  made  here  by  experi- 
enced men  under  our  personal  direction. 

Varieties  marked  thus  * are  recommended  for  the  extreme  north.

PLUMS 

We  propagate  mainly  of  the  native  varieties  (Prunus  Americana)  as  we  find  they 
**•  much  more  reliable  than  the  European  or  Japan  sorts.  We  use  the  piece  root  graft 

and  hardy  native  seeding. 

A most  satisfactory  fruit,  especially  for  exposed  or  unfavorable  locations.  Will 

grow  anywhere,  even  on  poor  ground;  fruits  well  even  under  neglect  and  is  perfectly 
hardly. 

There  is  a marked  shortage  in  stock  of  the  American  plum  this  season  and  we 
advise  those  wishing  same  to  place  their  orders  early.

We  can  heartily  recommend  these  plums  as  to  hardiness,  size,  color  and  productive- 
ness; they  have  in  a very  short  time  made  a place  for  themselves  in  the  Horticulture  of 
the  Northwest  that  will  endure  for  all  time.  Our  stock  of  these  plums  is  limited  and 
parties  wishing  same  should  place  orders  at  once.  We  will  not  agree  to  supply  these 
varieties  on  orders  received  after  April  1st.  Order  NOW. 

SKUYA — Sioux  Indian  for  SWEET.  This  plum  in  our  opinion  is  one  of  the  plums 
that  have  come  to  stay  no  matter  what  may  be  produced  later.  It  is  a cross  of  the  red 
June,  a large  early  Japanese  plum,  and  the  De  Sota  plum,  which  is  known  to  practically 
everyone  in  the  North  who  has  ever  grown  plums.  The  color  of  the  fruit  is  a very  dark 
red  and  yellow,  and  is  the  most  delicious  f@r  eating  purposes  of  any  plum  we  have  ever' 
tasted.  It  is  an  excellent  keeper  and  shipper.  In  August,  when  this  plum  ripens,  we 
took  a half  bushel  basket  of  them  and  set  them  in  our  office  here  and  allowed  it  to  stay 
there  for  more  than  one  week;  at  the  end  of  that  time  the  plums  were  gone  over  care-

fully  and  not  a discolored  spot  on  any  of  them  or  any  indication  of  decay.  They  have 
retained  their  peculiar  fragrance  to  the  end.  The  pits  of  the  Skuya  are  exceptionally 
small.  The  size  of  the  fruit  on  the  young  trees  is  not  quite  as  large  as  the  Hanska,  bu,t 
of  a larger  size  than  most  any  of  the  American  plums. 

HANSKA — (Sioux  Indian  for  TALL),  and  refers  to  the  extraordinary  growth  and 
symmetrical  shape  of  the  Hanska  plum.  The  Hanska  does  not  come  into  hearing  as 
early  as  those  varities  containing  Sand  Cherry  blood,  but  three  and  four  year  old  trees 
in  the  nursery  were  loaded  with  most  excellent  fruit.  The  Hanska  was  produced  by 
crossing  a wild  Northwestern  plum  with  the  very  large,  firm  freshed  fragrant  apricot 
plum  of  China — Prunus  Simoni — which  is  so  very  popular  in  all  of  the  orchards  of  Cali- 
fornia. This  variety  has  all  of  the  good  qualities  a plum  should  have.  The  Hanska  is  a 
very  large  plum,  a great  many  specimens  measuring  better  than  T%  inches  in  diameter. 
Is  of  the  best  quality  for  eating  from  the  tree,  for  canning,  preserving,  or  making  jelly. 
None  of  the  California  or  native  American  plums  compare  with  it  in  any  way.  In  color 
it  is  a bright  red  with  heavy  blue  bloom.  In  shape  it  resembles  its  male  parent,  the 
Apricot  plum.  To  see  this  tree  in  the  nursery,  its  tropical  foliage,  its  limbs  laden  with 
the  luscious  reddish-blue  fruit,  to  get  on  the  lee  side  of  it  and  catch  its  fragrance,  is  a 
pleasure  that  can  only  be  exceeded  by  the  actual  eating  of  the  fruit.  As  a shipper  no 
other  plum  compares  with  it.

on  the  tree  very  readily  and  is  a valuable  variety  for  market.  Season  about  the  same

PHLOXES 

TALL  CHOICE  PERENNIAL  VARIETIES. 

OUR  PLANTS  ARE  WELL-GROWN  AND  STRONG. 

Hardy  Phloxes  have  long  been  so  popular  that  it  is  rare  to  find  a garden  without  a 
collection  of  at  least  a few  of  the  many  beautiful  vareties  now  in  cultivation.  No  plant 
is  more  attractive  or  more  useful,,  either  for  the  adornment  of  the  garden  or  for  sup- 
plying cut  flowers. 

To  those  not  familiar  with  these  plants  we  desire  to  say  that  they  are  perfectly 
hardly,  and  succeed  well  in  almost  any  kind  of  soil.  Small  plants  are  usually  selected 
to  start  with,  as  they  increase  rapidly  in  size,  not  in  height  so  much,  which  is  from  2 to 
3 feet,  but  in  the  number  of  flower  stems,  which  multiply  year  after  year. 

Assorted  colors,  white,  white  with  lavender  eye,  pink,  pink  and  white,  red,  lavender, 
and  light  red.  15c  each;  $1.50  per  doz. 

BUDDLEIA,  VARIABIL1S  MAGNIFICA  (Butterfly  Bush)— A beautiful  shrub,  car- 
ries long  graceful  panicles  of  deep  purple-lilac  flowers,  which  begin  to  open  in  mid-sum- 
mer and  continue  till  frost.  The  long,  gray-green  leaves,,  add  greatly  to  its  beauty.  A 
late  blooming  shrub  of  merit.  2 to  3 feet,  $35c  each;  $3.50  per  doz.

STRAWBERRIES 

To  this  department  we  give  special  attention  and  the  plants  we  offer  are  equal  to 
any  grown,  are  carefully  graded,  and  no  small,  inferior  ones  sent  out;  they  are  fresh 
dug  from  new  beds  that  have  never  fruited,  and  are  shipped  to  our  customers  while  in 
fresh,  vigorous  condition.  They  are  not  held  in  the  packing  house  till  half  their  vitality 
is  gone.  We  ship  in  baskets  or  light  boxes,  and  all  plants  are  neatly  trimmed  and  tied  in 
bunches  of  25.  They  are  carefully  packed  and  we  guarantee  them  to  arrive  in  good  con- 
dition when  shipped  by  express.  We  do  not  recommend  freight  shipments  for  this  class 
of  stock. 

Those  varieties  which  are  strong  growers  and  make  a heavy  stand  of  plants  are 
more  reliable  than  those  which  only  make  a moderate  growth.  When  we  prove  a variety 
to  be  inferior  to  the  standards  it  is  discarded,  and  while  all  varieties  may  not  suc- 
ceed the  same  as  with  us,  we  judge  them  by  actual  test  in  field  culture  grown  with 
the  object  of  marketing  fruit  at  a profit. 

Plant  two  by  four  feet  on  thoroughly  prepared  ground,  cultivate  often  and  when  you 
have  a solid  matted  row  two  feet  wide,  restrict  the  growth,  (don’t  let  a weed  grow) 
mulch  in  fall  with  straw  or  some  coarse  material  free  from  weed  seed,  remove  a 
part  of  it  the  following  spring  and  place  between  the  rows  as  mulch. 

Varieties  marked  “Imp.”  are  imperfect  in  blossom  and  must  be  set  with  “Per.’’  per- 
fect flowering  kinds. 

Varieties  marked  * we  especially  recommend  for  general  cultivation. 

Owing  to  the  very  dry  summer  the  past  season  we  have  a much  lighter  stand  of 
plants  than  usual.  Indications  are  that  the  supply  of  plants  in  the  entire  country  is  far 
from  up  to  a normal  amount;  those  who  wish  plants  must  place  their  orders  early.  We 
will  not  agree  to  accept  orders  after  April  15th  for  strawberry  plants.  Our  present 
stock  of  plants  will  be  exhausted  long  before  the  season  is  over  and  we  shall  have  to 
depend  on  buying  to  fill  many  of  our  orders,  and  plants  will  be  sent  direct  to  our  cus- 
tomers. 

If  you  want  good  plants,  true  to  name  and  properly  handled,  place  your  orders  with 
tis.  We  guarantee  plants  to  be  true  to  name  and  will  be  delivered  to  the  transportation 
companies  in  the  best  of  condition  but  we  decline  to  accept  any  responsibility  and 
plants  must  travel  at  the  buyer’s  risk.  We  will  be  pleased  to  have  you  visit  our  nur- 
sery at  any  time  and  inspect  our  stock.

has  sprung  into  popular  favor  very  rapidly.  We  are  very  favorably  impressed  with  the 
showing  it  has  made.  The  Helen  Davis  plants  are  very  hardy  and  strong.  The  fruit  is 
exceptionally  large  and  of  a beautiful  dark  red  color  clear  through.  It  is  of  symmetrical 
shape,  excellent  quality,  and  very  productive.  In  season  it  commences  to  ripen  early, 
but  continues  nearly  as  long  as  the  later  varieties. 

K LON  DYKE — Per.  Large  to  very  large  roundish  conical  regular  form,  very  pro-

NORWOOD — Per.  A new  variety  of  merit.  The  plant  is  strong  and  healthy,  mak- 
ing a liberal  but  not  excessive  number  of  strong  runners.  The  berry  is  conic  and

enormous  size.  Color  bright  red  all  the  way  through,  growing  darker  with  age.;  firm, 
a good  keeper  and  ships  well.  Holds  its  size  well  through  the  season  and  remains  in 
bearing  a long  time.

♦SENATOR  DUNLAP — Per.  Medium  to  large,  conical,  dark  red,  firm  and  of  first 
quality,  mid-season.  A vigorous  grower  and  usually  makes  too  many  plants  for  best 
results,  unless  growth  is  restricted.  It  is  as  productive  as  Warfield,  berries  are  better 
colored  and  a third  larger.  The  best  market  variety  and  no  list  is  complete  without  it. 

STEVEN’S  LATE  CHAMPION — Per.  Large  size,  long,  slightly  flattened,  bright  red, 
firm  and  of  fair  quality.  The  flowers  and  berries  are  well  protected  by  the  ample  foliage.

EVERBEARING  STRAWBERRIES 

A new  departure  in  fruit  growing.  The  Everbearing  Strawberry  is  one  of  the  new 
things  that  has  come  to  stay.  For  more  than  ten  years  we  have  been  working  with  this 
new  class  of  berries  and  now  we  are  convinced  that  they  are  a success  not  only  for  th/e 
home  garden  but  also  for  the  commercial  grower  if  he  will  give  them  the  proper  care. 
The  trial  test  of  Mr.  Clarence  Wedge  of  Minneosta  proves  this  when  he  picked  74% 
quarts  from  one  square  rod  of  Progressive;  plants  were  set  May  1st  and  buds  and  run^ 
ners  were  cut  off  till  July  10th  and  between  July  23rd,  when  the  first  ripe  berries  were 
picked,  and  October  31st  the  square  rod  produced  74%  quarts.  At  this  rate  the  yield 
would  be  747^  cases  (16  quarts)  per  acre  the  year  of  planting  and  the  fruit  comes  at 
a time  when  it  will  readily  sell  at  from  20  to  25  cents  per  quart.  We  have  tried  a large 
number  of  varieties  of  the  Everbearers  but  have  discarded  them  all  but  three,  for  one 
fault  or  another,  of  these  three  varieties  we  have  a fair  stock  and  we  offer  them  at  prices 
named  below. 

In  growing  the  Everbearers  the  following  is  the  most  approved  method  of  culture. 
Plant  as  early  in  spring  as  the  condition  of  soil  and  weather  will  permit,  keep  all  bloom 
removed  from  the  plants  until  about  one  month  before  you  wish  the  fruit  to  begin  to 
ripen.  Allow  the  plants  set  to  produce  from  four  to  eight  runners  and  when  these  are 
rooted  keep  all  other  runners  cut  off  as  soon  as  they  appear.  You  will  then  have  a 
hedge  row  or  half  matted  row  system  and  if  clean  culture  is  given  and  with  good  fer- 
tile soil  you  will  get  lots  of  berries.  If  you  wish  fruit  do  not  let  them  make  too  many 
plants.  A bed  of  the  Everbearers  after  having  fruited  the  year  of  planting  should  be 
well  covered  and  can  be  carried  over  to  fruit  the  following  June  if  desired  or  the 
fruit  stem  can  be  kept  off  the  second  season  until  July  15th  and  they  will  bear  again 
in  the  fall.  Right  varieties,  rich  soil  and  good  culture  will  win  with  the  Everbearers 
but  the  greatest  of  these  is  GOOD  culture. 

PROGRESSIVE— (Rockhills  No.  16)  Originated  by  Harlow  Rockhill  of  Iowa  and 
said  by  him  to  be  his  best  variety,  among  the  many  he  has  produced.  Large  size  and 
fine  quality.  Productive. 

SUPERB— Per.  Large,  dark,  roundish,  dark  colored,  glossy,  of  first  quality.  Plant 
is  about  average  size,  strong  grower  and  winters  well.  A good  plant  maker.  One  of 
the  best.  Succeeds  best  on  light  soil. 

AMERICUS — Per.  One  of  the  best  of  the  fall  bearing  varieties.  Plant  is  a strong 
grower,  healthy  and  winters  well  after  bearing  in  the  fall.  Fruit  large  and  of  fine 
quality.  Does  not  fruit  quite  as  early  in  fall  as  some  but  holds  in  fruit  later  than 
others.  On  heavy  soil  this  is  very  sucessful.  Medium  plant  maker. 

Price  50c  per  doz.;  $3.00  per  100.

SAXALEA  GUERNSEYS 

In  1914  we  began  the  breeding  of  GUERNSEY  Cattle.  We  have  some  young  stock, 
bull  calves  and  a few  females  to  offer  and  shall  be  glad  to  hear  from  any  who  are  inter- 
ested, and  in  case  we  do  not  have  any  stock  of  our  own  there  are  several  breeders  near 
here  with  whom  we  are  in  touch  and  it  might  be  possible  for  us  to  refer  you  to  some  one 
who  would  have  the  stock  you  are  looking  for. 

Our  foundation  cow,  Imp.  Ceres  of  Sarnia  No.  53728,  has  just  finished  a year  under 
semi-official  test  and  produced  350.3  lbs.  of  butter  fat  under  ordinary  herd  care,  running 
on  pasture  and  milking  twice  a day.  Our  herd  is  strong  in  May  Rose  blood  and  we 
shall  follow  that  strain  of  breeding  and  blend  with  it  Masher  63  and  other  leading 
families. 

Our  herd  sire,  Park’s  Billy  France,  No.  34537,  is  by  Rhea’s  King  of  the  May,  through 
whom  he  traces  to  Imp.  King  of  the  May  and  Imp.  May  Rose  King.  His  dam,  Billy 
France’s  Fillpail,,  now  in  our  herd,  made  54  lbs.  of  butter  fat  in  30  days  as  a two  year 
old,  and  traces  to  Fillpail  IV.  of  the  Hall  and  Billy  France. 


Write  us  when  you  are  in  the  market  for  a sire  and  we  will  do  all  we  can  to  supply 
your  wants  or  put  you  in  touch  with  someone  who  can. 

Respectfully  yours,
