“Dear Mr. Field:. 
“Sending a picture of myself and one 
picking of my beautiful American Beauty 
Asters. I got a pkg. for 9c last spring and 
got 90 plants from it. Sure enjoy pick- 
ing bouquets for these fall weddings. 
Made pickings Sept. 7, again Sept. 18, 
again Sept. 27. They make beautiful 
bridal bouquets because they have such 
long stems and are so perfect and large 
for a cut flower. Surely cannot be beat 
as they are nice cut for 10 to 14 days. I 
will never be without Henry Field’s seed.” 
—Mrs. W. H. Theel, Douglas, Minn. 
Believes in Big Garden 
“With a dollar collection of Henry 
Field’s garden seed and a few cents worth 
of bug dust ordered at the same time we 
can raise enough goed eats to keep a 
family the year around. 
My neighbors believe in big gardens 
‘too. They use your garden seeds and your 
Bug Dust too, and will verify every word 
I have said.’’

ELSE POULSEN ROSE—lPve had dozens of enthusias- 
tic reports. on this beauty with its constant bloom 
and hardiness. This freeblooming’ Polyantha is the 
ideal pink cemetery rose. 
PINK FLAME HONEYSUCKLE—A, vine that con- 
stantly bears fragrant colorful blossoms which are 
as good for cutting as for garden display. Besides 
using as a vine, I have placed them through my 
perennial borders where I keep them cut back into 
low shrubs. — oes 
x good way to show your patriotism is by planting 
plenty of Red Bud trees. They are native Americans 
and a credit to their country. (Catalog page 41.)

Flax for they self sow pleasantly.”

enhances the colors of every flower.”

the bugs don’t find them.”

dishpan. I sunk this in the garden where it gave

side and they went right on blooming.”

had fiowers FOUR AND FIVE INCHES across. I re- 
ceived first premium on them at our Fiair and they

This is a pieture of my sister 
Helen who broadcasts her flower 
talks every morning at 9 A. M. 
She is one of the country’s fore- 
most authorities on flowers and 
though she doesn’t have time to 
write a long letter, she wanted 
to pass these gardening tips from 
her radio letters on to you Seed 
Sense readers. You’ll find them 
interesting and full of ideas. 
Don’t these letters from 
other flower lovers, like 
yourself, make you just itch 
te get out, and get started 
planting? I think they prob- 
ably do. And that’s the im- 
portant thingz—GET START- 
ED and then the fun really 
begins. This is going to be 
a grand season. Start early, 
use good seed, have lots of 
fun, and you’lil find your 
flowers will reward you a 
thousandfold in happiness 
and pleasure.
