that are subject at present to high rates 

 which are interfering with the move- 

 ment of freight or, rather, have the 

 tendency to stifle business, instead of 

 restoring confidence to promote buying. 

 It is our firm conviction that a sub- 

 stantial reduction in rates on basic com- 

 modities will considerably hasten our 

 return to normal conditions." 



FAHMERS BUY SEEDS AGAIN. 



The middle-western farmers appear 

 to be rising out of the dumps and buying 

 seeds to make up for their last year's 

 economy. February 27. the Henry Field 

 Seed Co.. Shenandoah, la., received G.l.^S 

 orders, amounting to $18,534-27, against 

 2,476 orders, amounting to $8,025.91, for 

 the same Monday a year ago. 



"This is more than double last year's 

 orders and is also bigger than the same 

 Monday in any previous year, the best 

 previous record for the last Monday 

 in February being 3,837 orders, in 

 1918," says' Henry Field. 



"It is bigger," he adds, "than any 

 other day we have ever had in the his- 

 tory of our seed business. Tlie biggest 

 previous day in our business brought 

 5,115 orders, which came at the peak 

 time, late in March. We cannot believe 

 that we have anywhere near reached 

 our peak yet this year, for it wculd be 

 entirely out of reason to expect the peak 

 to come in February. We think the real 

 peak will come, as usual, late in March. 

 A noticeable thing about our orders this 

 year is that they are running strongly 

 to garden seeds, bulbs and small nursery 

 stock, and comparatively light on field 

 seeds of all kinds. 



"February 27 was not a freak day, 



Kunderd's Gladioli 



are now so well known and are in such great demand that you, 



as a grower or florist, cannot afford to be without them. No 



other strains are now so popular, nor can you secure so many 



beautiful blooms from any other. They always bring top prices 



in the markets. 



Heretofore there has not been a sufficient supply to afford growers a 

 share in their great sale.

 ninety" choice varieties listed and described in my 

 wholesale price list. All authorities are agreed that my 

 new strains represent by far the greatest improvement in 

 gladioli today. 



You will miss many of your best customers if you let
