FIELD'S SEED SENSE FOR 

No ae Bhirbee fiers! 
It you're having trouble getting help 
on your place, here’s an idea for you. 
Just train your dog to do some of the 
work for you like Mrs. R. M. Shaw of 
Whitewood, South Dakota, has’ done 
She says, “Our dog, Shorty, car- 
rying a pailful of vegetables from the 
garden. You can see a Field’s Daisy 
Muskmelon on top. Shorty likes them 
as well as we do. Seed Sense came yes- 
terday and I read it from cover to cover. 
It is very interesting and has many help- 
ful hints.” 
Plant the 2 to 3. Ft. Size 
A great many folks always ask me 
what is the best size fruit tree to plant. 
Any of the sizes is all right. The larger 
the tree, of course, the more expensive 
and generally the sooner it comes into 
bearing. 
But generally, for most folks, I rec- 
ommend the 2 to 3 foot size (although 
the others are perfectly all right). This 
is the size the orchard men plant. It 
generally transplants easier with less 
shock and with a better chance of com- 
ing through the transplanting than the 
bigger size. And’ then too, it saves 


But whichever size you plant (and 
they are all all right) be sure to.reserve 
them early. We are going’ to run out 
this year, I’m afraid, and it’s going to 
have to be strictly first come first served. 
Sweet Cherry Bargain 
Don’t miss this special collection of 
‘SWEET cherries for real treat in fruit. 
I don’t have many, but while they last 
will send 1 Black Tartarian—the sweet- 
est black one, 1 Field’s Golden, the sure 
bearing yellow one, and 1 English Mor- 
ello—the mid-season dark red one all 
for. $1.59, postpaid. All are 2 to 3 foot 
trees and well rooted. 
Strawberry Plants Okay 
“Dear Fields: I ordered two hundred Sen- 
ator Dunlap Strawberry plants from your 

nursery some time ago and I received them 
two weeks ago and was certainly well 
pleased with my order. I set the plants out 
immediately and they ALL lived and are 
doing good. Some few of them are in bloom 
We are very proud of our patch of 
Strawberry plants and think Field’s Nursery 
is all right!”—Abner A. Gant, Oxford, Kan- 
Sas.

MARCH, 1943—Henry Field Seed & Nursery Co., Shenandoah, Iowa 
The Newest and Finest 
Development in Roses 













Here’s a picture of Mr. Brownell, the 
originator and grower of the famous new 
Brownell hybrid tea roses which are 
Sweeping the country because they are ab- 
solutely winter hardy. 
The ,picture will give. you an idea of 
how profusely they bloom and of their 
beauty, but their real wonderful merit is 
their ability to go through even the most 
severe winters without winter-killing. In 
tests run for the past years even in north- 
ern Minnesota and like latitudes they 
came through severe winters without be- 
ing harmed a bit. 

Hybrid teas have always been a little 
tender and needed winter cover, but we 
suarantee these to go through the winter 
unharmed and will replace FREE any 
which die. 
Mr. Brownell did not release this won- 
derful strain of roses until he had tested 
it carefully and developed many beautiful 
colors in this hardy strain. All are profuse 
bloomers and if anything larger and more 
double than ordinary hybrid teas. We 
have a selection of these famous Brown- 
ells on page 71 in the catalog. BY ALL 
MEANS TRY SEVERAL THIS YEAR.

buds_on it last year so Mrs. Thompson 
had.her picture taken with it to prove it. 
Regal lilies are so gorgeous. Everyone 
should have a few in their garden.
