HENRY FIELD’S SEED SENSE FOR APRIL, 1942—Henry Field Seed & Nursery Co., Shenandoah, Iowa 

SOME HENRY FIELD NURSERY CUSTOMERS AND 

5 Dishpansful! 
Don’t these look good? Think of it—5 
dishpansful of strawberries at one picking. 
That’s real living. You can do it, too. Straw- 
berries don’t take as much room as folks 
think, This was sent in by Lucille Holthusen 
of Rock Rapids, Iowa, with a garden seed 
order, 

Real Iris Garden 
This is Mrs. Will Weisbrad, of Fenton, [a., 
out in her Iris garden, All these were iris 
from our nursery and she says they are al- 
ways in full bloom for Decoration Day 
flowers. Sent in with a nursery order. 


~ Beautiful Thing! 
Mrs. Maud Howard with son James, of 
Braidwood, Ill., who sent in this picture said, 
“The snowball we bought of you is the most 
beautiful thing anyone could want.” And I 
think I agree with her after looking at it. 

No Shrubs 5 Yrs. Ago 
a 
‘Dear Mr. Field: The Spirea I got from 
you are so pretty. There was no shrubbery 
when we moved here 5 years ago and now 
look. This is my daughter, Marjorie, stand- 
ing near the steps. I think your Beta Grape 
can’t be beat for juice and the everbearing 
strawberries I got of you did fine this year.” 
—Mrs. A. L. MeQuitty, Rockport, Mo, 

Field Plum in Bloom 

This shows something else about fruit 
trees that’s important—their lovely bloom 
in the spring. This is a Henry Field Com- 
pass Cherry Plum (a hybrid that’s a dandy) 
grown by Mrs. Geo. Igou of Dow City, Iowa. 
Yields 5 Bu. Year 
“Dear Mr. Field: This is Mr. Martin pick- 
ing dark red delicious apples from a Henry 
Field tree. Yields 4 to 5 bu, every year and 
the apples are extra fine and large.” Sent 
in by Helen M. Sohrum, Monroe, Nebr. 


45 Apples 1st Year! 
“Dear Mr. Field: There is a picture of my 
daughter, Muriel, standing by a 2 yr. Anoka 
apple tree we got from you. The first year, 
it had 15 apples on it and the second year 
about one-half bushel. You can’t say too 
much for your nursery stock.”—Paul Stem- 
ber, Ozawkie, Kans. 
If you want fruit in a hurry, plant Anoka. 
—H. F. 

Rhubarb That Is Rhubarb 
Think of all the pies and sauce in one of 
these stalks of Henry Field rhubarb grown 
by Mrs. Carl Kelling of Renwick, Ia. That’s 
what I eall growing fruit fast. And that’s 
something for you gardeners who are grow- 
ing a garden for the first time this year— 
don’t plant just seeds, put in plenty of 
rhubarb, asparagus and the like, too. You’ll 
be glad you did. 

Iowa Rose Arbor 
| RAE SET SED 
It’s pretty hard to beat a beautiful climb- 
ing rose over a gate. They’re always a 
gorgeous sight. This is one in the garden 
of August Blads shown here with his 
daughter, Alice. :
