Field. Can’t tell you what it is before

Watch 
I have always sold my garden seeds 
by number and my customers have al- 







ways told me it was a handy way to or- 
der and it certainly does help us seed- 
house folks in filling the order. 
We decided if this was so good in gar- 
_seed, we would just apply it in the 
nursery too. So you'll find for the first 
1e this fall, all nursery stock goes by 
“number. When you order, just put the 
umber on the order blank. If you wish, 
ut in the name as it might help a little. 
If there are several colors under a va- 
riety, be sure and state the color you 
these kind of times, anything we 
o to speed up the orders, work to 
dvantage as well as our’s so will 
i very much having you order 
rsery items.by the number given 
ont of the item. Always state the

I want everyone of you customers to 
That’s real- 

numbering Seed Sense along with it, so 
as not to have two sets of numbers. 
There’s something real personal there 
for all you flower lovers. 
Ive talked a lot about our cabin down 
in the Ozarks over the years, and about 
our gardening activities there. Well, 
now everyone of my customers is going 
to have a chance to have ‘‘a little of the 
Ozarks” in his own backyard. I’m list-— 
ing. a good many of my wild flowers that 
will do well in everybody’s garden. 
These flowers were all grown on our 
little farm in Missouri. Mrs. Field and 
I personally grew them, and we are per- 
_sonally selecting them and_ shipping 
them out to you direct from the Ozarks. 
This means there will be no delay, and 
the plants will reach you in the shortest 
time possible, : > 
But send your orders on to Shenan- 
doah as usual, right along with your or- 
der for fruit trees, shrubs and Hybrid. 
Short on Lilies 
This isn’t another wolf, wolf story, it is 
an actual fact. I have never seen lilies as 
scarce as they are now. We are listing 
them this fall and hope to have enough to 
take eare of all orders. What the story 
will be for spring, J] don‘t know. I know 
that we have a lot of them but when 
they’re gone, there will be no more. If 
you want lilies, be sure and order them 
this fall and even if we do have them next 
spring, they will be no cheaper and most 
likely considerably higher. Another 
thing, most varieties of lilies really do 
' better if planted in the fall. So get your 
lily order in early. 
Nursery Growing Fast

“Dear Mr. Field: The fruit trees received 
0. K. and they are real nice. The ones we 
‘ordered two years ago are growing very 
fast.”—Mrs. Ella M. Neil, Aldrich, Missouri. 



Hurrah for Sugar Lumps 
OS 
“Dear Mr. Field: My 2 sons Freddie, 9 
yrs., and Larrie, 8 mos., enjoying. -o"72—— 
watermelons. They planted a lot of your — 
Sugar Lumps and also a mixed pkt.”—_ 
Fred J. Pugh, Box 114-A, Riner, Virgina. 
_ Every kid should have his patch of wa- 
termelons, and I can’t think of a better 

_kind to plant than my little red, whi 
yellow Sugar Lumps.— a 4 
~~ |] have 
tables and field crop m 
never have offered anything ich ha 
had such universal acceptance as my 
new Hybrid South American Popcorn. 
~ You all know how the hybrid field 
corns compare with the old fashioned 
open pollinated varieties. Well, exactly 
the same thing may be said about the 
new Hybrid:South American Popeorn. It 
stands up perfectly, just like a ramrod. 
You can pick it with a corn picker, it 
has uniform ears, it’s a tremendous 
yielder—we’ve had yields of 70 bushels 
to the acre here at Shenandoah. It pops 
with a tremendous volume, the eating 
quality is the best. 
We didn’t have enough seed to go 
around last spring and had to turn down 
lots of orders but we have increased 
our plantings this. year. With a fair 
fall, we will have plenty of seed for 
most everybody. Order now this fall— 
at my 1943 prices. Price: triple size (3 
oz. packet) 20c; 1% 1b..45c; 1 1b. 75e; 3 
lbs. $1.95; 10 Ilbs.. $5.85, postpaid. 
Write for prices on larger lots. 
State and U. S. Certified

far the best buy, we are carrying several 
of the state numbers for those customers 
who want them. Here’s the list and the 
price:

Ohio to Nebraska and yields well on 
any soil, especially light soil. Drought 
resistant. Ears about 3% feet. About 
110 days.

IOWA 306—110 to 115 days, a good re- 
placement for 939. ‘Trifle later and 
yields more.

U. S. 18—Good Reid Yellow Dent type, 
single ear, deep kernel. Best suited to 
rich soil. Large ear.
