4 _ HENRY FIELD’S SEEP SENSE FOR APRIL, 1940 —Henry Field Seed & Nursery Co., Shenandoah, Iowa 
A Few Henry Field Nursery Stock Boosters —and What They Grew! 
A ’Mum Like You Could Grow, Too 
Here’s what you can grow if you buy your “mums” from 
Henry Field. Mrs. Wm. Scharfenbert, Morrison, Ill., grew 
this Pink Cushion from one of my plants and has a lot more, 
too. They are literally loaded with blooms for weeks on end 
and are a sight to behold. You’ll find them on page 4G in the 
catalog and I can send you 6 — 2 red, 1 Pink Cushion, 1 Bronze, 
1 yellow and 1 white all for 98c postpaid. 
Field’s Hydrangeas Admired 
“Everyone admired the hydrangea plants we got from you 
and planted on either side of our steps, and they were lovely. 
I’m enclosing another nursery and garden seed order. My 
husband and two kiddies are sitting on the front steps of our 
home.” 
That’s Hydrangea A. G. and blooms in the spring. The other 
Hydrangea (P. G.) has more pointed blooms and blossoms in 
the fall. 
198 Out of 200 Lived & Grew Fast 
“Out of the 200 Chinese Elm I got from you, 198 lived. They 
were 12 to 18 inches when set out and now, iy 2 years later, 
are 8 to 10 ft. tall. Everyone admires them.”—Mrs. H. H. 
Linke, Eustis, Nebr. 
You can’t beat Chinese Elm for fast shade and windbreak. 
They grow like sin. A lot more people are planting windbreaks 
this year— I think because of the govt, program. They most all 
like the Special—■ 
70 Big 24 in. Chinese Elm for windbreak, $1.01 postpd. 
Likes Senator Dunlaps 
“We certainly like your Senator Dunlap strawberries. Had a patch 
of 4 rows 120 ft. long. We picked them every other day. This is 
ONE day’s picking. We canned 115 quarts one season, besides all 
we could use fresh.” 
We certainly are having a run on strawberries this year, and 
we should. Everybody has room for a strawberry patch and 
ought to have it. Plant prices are low, too.—H. P. 
The Chinese Elm and How It Grew 
—In One Year! 
You just can’t beat these Chinese Elms if you 
want shade in a hurry. Here’s a good bit of 
proof sent in by a good customer of mine, Mrs. 
AV. E. Walker of La Veta, Colo. The picture on 
the left was taken the summer of 1938 and the 
one on the right the summer of 1939. The girl, 
Evalyn Gail Ritter, grew too, but not like the 
Chinese Elm did. 
There’s no sense spending your whole life 
waiting for what you plant to grow—especially 
shade trees. Set Chinese Elms and have the 
shade while you’re living. If you want a real 
shade tree ofi'er, here’s one: 
Big, heavy-rooted Chinese 
Elm, 4 3-4 ft. tall. Heavy 
caliper and strong roots 
Carefully selected and 
packed.
