SOME HENRY FIELD CUSTOMERS AND WHAT THEY GREW 
ee YOU CAN, TOO, IF YOU PLANT GENUINE HENRY FIELD SEED 

1 Picking Peas 
“Dear Mr. Field: Here is a picture of my 
son, Norman Stanley, 14 mo., with one pick- 
ing of your Little Marvel peas from two 
short garden rows. Garden stuff is hard to 
raise here on the plains with the hot winds 
but we have better luck. with 
your seeds than with any other we have 
ever tried.”—Benj. F. Reiss, Meade, Kansas. 


Plenty of Food Here 
Mrs. Jake Kramer and family ought not 
to starve, with food rationing or not, with a 
picking of beans like this one. She says, 
“Pve used your seed ever since I was mar- 
ried and KNOW they are really good. Last 
year I had more tomatoes than you can 
imagine and this year had beans galore. 
Canned all I could and gave the rest away. 
Pieture is of my 2 nephews and niece in 
garden with some of your beans.” — Mrs. 
Jake Kramer, Sheldon, Ia. 

These Cans Not Rationed 

Here’s a picture of food not rationed. It’s 
some of the garden stuff put up by Miss 
Gertie De Groff of Topeka, Kansas. And 
doesn’t it look fine, too? Not only does home 
canned stuff taste better than commercial 
packs, and save money, too, but nowadays 
when canned stuff isn’t available, this comes 
as a lifésaver. 


An Idea of What a Garden Will Grow for You 

Ollie Hamersky of Maryville, Mo., who sent in this picture, gives you a small idea of 
part of the things that can be raised in a garden with little effort. 
a little elbow grease, you can laugh at food rationing. 
With a few seeds, and 
Besides the Irish potatoes, sweet po- 
tatoes, beets, peppers, carrots, eggplant, cabbage, tomatoes, and rhubarb you see here, you 
can have plenty of other vegetables and fruit to keep your family supplied summer and 
winter alike if you garden. 
All raised from Field’s seeds. 

Tomatoes Wouldn’t Stop Growing 
“Dear Mr. Field: I ordered some tomato 
seed from you last spring and in: my order 
was the new Grape tomato which didn’t 
know when to stop growing. The children 
are holding just one plant and it is loaded 
with tomatoes. Those are Field’s Red Head 
in the wagon.”—Olga Musil, Hector, Minn. 

159 Qt. Pickles from 2—5c Pkts. 

“Dear Mr. Field: We really like your gar- 
den seeds. FE bought 2—5c packets from you 
and canned 159 qts. pickles and used at least 
1 bushel of slicers. They were National 
Pickling. These are my two granddaugh- 
ters, Mary Irene Osborn and Gladys Ilene 
Morgan.”—Mrs. Lulu Williams, Roach, Mo. 

Likes My Seeds 
“Dear Mr. Field: Here’s a picture of my 
granddaughter, Lorena Ruth, age 9, admir- 
ing your Alaska peas. They were a pretty 
sight. We gathered over a bushel of peas 
from a 3 oz. packet. We enjoy reading your 
Seed Sense.’’—Mrs. S. S. Hear, Perry, Mo.

“Dear Folks: Here’s a picture of myself 
and some of the fime beans, cucumbers and 
sweet corn I raised from Henry Field seed. 
We canned about 52 quarts of beans, lots 
of sweet corn and bushels and bushels of 
pickles. Vm a booster for your seed. They 
gzrow.’—Mrs. E. A. Malone, Dow City, Iowa.
