HENRY FIELD’S SEED SENSE FOR MARCH, 1940—Henry Field Seed & Nursery Co., Shenandoah, Iowa 
A Few Henry Field Garden Seed Boosters and What They Do 
One of My Market Gardener 
Customers 
Market gardeners know good seed. 
That’s why I’m glad Harry Clark (left 
above) keeps coming back to us for his 
seed. Where he buys, a lot of his neigh¬ 
bors buy, because they know he knows 
what he is doing. His garden includes 
2 acres tomatoes, 1 acre cabbage, 2 acres 
egg plants, peppers, carrots, parsnips and 
2 acres strawberries and 1 acre raspber¬ 
ries. Some garden, isn’t it? 
Real Radishes 
Here are Richard and Laurie Anderson 
with an armload of Field’s Earliest Red 
Ball radishes. They are the niece and 
nephew of Miss Ethel Rye up at Hanlon- 
town, Iowa—a good customer of mine. 
Buy Beans for “Fill-In*’ 
Don’t forget, when you send your gar¬ 
den seed order to include some extra 
beans for planting on the ground you will 
have vacant later on when you take off 
your radishes, lettuce, early potatoes, etc. 
Beans can’t be planted until the soil is 
warm anyway and this ground will handle 
another crop if you have some beans 
ready to plant in the vacant spots. 
Head Lettuce Despite Hot Weather 
“Dear Mr. Field: I had a wonderful 
garden from your seed, especially my let¬ 
tuce. I planted your Prize Head and we 
had large, crisp heads long after the 
weather grew hot.” The young ladies in 
the lettuce patch are Leora and Eveyln 
Stoddard, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. 
Hugh Stoddard of Auburn, Nebr. 
Head of Our Frost Proof Cabbage 
“Dear Mr. Field: Here’s a picture of 
myself and son, Charles^ with a head of 
your frost-proof cabbage. We had a won¬ 
derful garden. Our town lot only has a 
garden 25x32. I spent my evenings read¬ 
ing your catalog and planning my garden. 
6 rows Alaska peas produced all the peas 
our family of 5 could eat for 2 weeks. 
Between the peas, we planted popcorn. 
Following our green beans, w r e planted 
Crowder peas. In our carrot and cabbage 
space we planted tomatoes and Okra. On 
the fence—guinea beans.”—Mrs. George 
E. Rock, Stillwater, Okla.

Bug Dust Saved Cabbage 
“Dear Mr. Field: These are my chil¬ 
dren, LaVerne and Anna just bringing in 
the cabbage for Kraut. This cabbage was 
all saved by Henry Field’s Famous Bug 
Dust.”—Mrs. Frank Johnson, Bagley, 
Iowa. 
When you send your garden seed order, 
don’t forget to include a dime for your 
garden seed inoculation. It’s enough to 
treat 6 lbs. of seed. Use it on your gar¬ 
den peas and beans and you will find 
they’ll come faster, do better, and at 
the same time they will be building up 
your garden soil as this inoculation helps 
the plant take nitrogen from the air and 
fix it in your soil. Every good gardener 
is using Nitragin, If you aren’t, you 
ought to start. 
Don’t Forget Inoculation
