OUT OF THE LETTER 
BASKET 
_A Nice Friendly Letter 
Mr, Henry Field: 
~ 
"Your very human 1940 catalog received 
lay and I thank you. It is more than a cat- 
g to me; no other like it. I have told many 
others about you and your plants and below I 
ta few to whom I wish you would mail your 
atalog if they have not written for one. 
“My roses bought spring of 1936 are still 
and none finer in this town. You can be 
oud to have them in my garden because it is 
show place in springtime. 
“I want to plant some French Lilacs so want 
to know if you can furnish a greater variety 
an you list. I want from 12 to 25. You do 
t state size of these plants. This I want to 
ow. Wall you please give me this informa- 
soon? Would like 10 colors if I order 25, 
plants that will bloom next year. Your 
catalog is such a joy to me. I want these 
flower buyers to have it also. Mrs. Killman is 
| beginner in gardening and I am selecting a 
list of roses she expects to.order from you. I 
ow varieties and you have the stock, so 
re! That from a Field Fan. She will likely 
‘der other things when she receives the cata- 
g. Hope all order something. Let me know 
9 
t away about the lilacs.

HENRY FIELD'S: SEED SENSE FOR APRIL, 1941—Henry Field Seed & Nursery Co., Shenandoah, 

What! I’ve Got to Pod All These? 
“I wish Mr. Field’s seeds didn’t yield 
So much. [ don’t see how [I can ever get 
these all podded.”” This is Gene Gruen- 
backer, 3 yr. old son of Albert Gruen- 
backer of Colwick, Kansas. The peas, 
says Albert, are my Fillbasket and Amer- 
ican Wonder. 
Raised on Field’s Seeds 
“Dear Henry Field: 
Since I can remember, my folks used 
Field’s seeds, for the garden. 
Now I have been married for five years, 
and I'm raising my two children on a 
Henry Field garden, too. Both of them 
were Started on Henry’s tomato juice 
when they were real little. 
My five year old boy saw some potato 
bugs on the plants and came in and got 
the Bug Dust and gun, and used it. We 
didn’t have any more trouble. 
From our garden, made with your 
seeds, we ate all summer and lived out of 
the cellar from what we had canned, that 
winter.’’—Mrs. Harold Bechler, Route 2, 
Sac City, Iowa.

Not High Hat 
This little girl certainly couldn't be ac- 
cused of being high hat. In fact, her hat 
couldn’t be much lower without being a 
dress. Mrs. A. Copper of Myton, Utah, 
sent this picture in, but she forgot to tell 
me the name of the little girl out in her 
garden, 

Atlas Gave Triple Crop 
“Dear Friend Henry: I think Atlas 
Sorgo can’t be beaten by anything. It 
produced almost three times as much fod- 
der per acre, and it’s better feed. The 
stock like it better than they do Hegari

Your Atlas took over 8 lbs. of twine to 
tie it.’—Robert Drake, Walnut, Iowa.
