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


Reservation Blank For Hybrid Seed Corn For 1943—Get 25c Bu. 
Discount 


A lot of farmers have been writing in wanting to book Mule-Hybrid corn NOW 
for 1943. They realize that with the labor shortage, it may be impossible to grow 
enough hybrid seed for next year. 
And they’re mighty wise. There’s always the possibility too of a bad season and 
the farmer with his reservation in is going to get hybrid when the one who has 
waited will have to be the one left out. And with prices the way they are, this is 
no time to be without plenty of good seed. 
So I decided to print the reservation blank here in Seed Sense for your con- 
venience. You’ need send no money, just reserve what you want. We'll set that 
aside for you so you will get seed, if anyone does. When our low opening price 
is announced, we’ll notify you what it is and you can then send a small down 
payment to hold the seed or cancel, For reservations in before Sept. 1, 1942, I'll 
allow you 25c bu. discount from our low opening price. Fair enough?

LAST CALL ON MULE-HYBRID CORN! 
All Numbers Are Selling Out Fast 
Get YOURS Now 
This has been a wild year for hybrid 
corn! First a shortage of seed stocks and 
now the government allows an increased 
acreage which has brought a tremendous 
demand. 
We're selling out of some numbers 
fast as you can see on the price list be- 
low and the remainder won’t last long. 
If there ever was a time to get protected, 
this is it. 
Worst of it is, there won’t be hardly. 
any open pollinated corn to fall back on 
when hybrid is sold out. There is very 
little left in the country. 
So figure out what you’re going to need 
—an extra bushel or a whole planting 
and shoot that order in. You save at 
Henry Field’s because you buy direct, but 
that’s only as long as the supplies last.
