Big Day When He Comes Home 
Here is Linda Young, niece of my 
good customer Mrs. Grace King, 1312 
So. 18th St., Centerville, Towa. She is 
holding a picture of her daddy, and is 
under the protection of the American 
eagle. Her aunt says ‘‘thank you for 
Seed Sense and also your very nice cata- 
logs. Sure do enjoy them.” ° 

Thanks for Sending Catalogs 
I wish I could personally shake the 
hands of all my good customers who 
sent back their catalogs this spring. As 
some of you know I didn’t have enough 
eatalogs to go around. So many new 
gardeners are. becoming H. F. customers 
that I can hardly keep up with them, 
and what with the paper shortage it’s 
setting to be a realxsproblem. This sea- 
son is going to be as bad as last; and I 
want to use as little paper as possible 
as a war economy, but I’ DON’T want 
anyone to be without a catalog if I can 
possibly help it. 
~ You.can help me here, and I will be 
very grateful to you if you will. Just 
check back in your memory on whether 
you received more than one catalog. 
Maybe one came to the Mrs. as well as 
the head of the family. Or maybe son 
George and daughter Ann got one, too. 
If you don’t need more than one copy, 
and if you are getting more, please tell 
me about it. Then I can send the extra 
copy to someone who needs it. 
Weather-Proof Corn Blend 
Yes, my special weather-proof corn 
has been a life saver on many farms and 
it is still very popular. It is the same 
thing as taking out an insurance policy 
on your crop to plant some of our 
weather-proof corn blend. 
Many times a hot spell during critical 
tasseling stages may destroy pollen, and 
that means a poor set on the ear, That 
is where the blend really comes through 
throwing pollen over a three week pe- 
riod and gives you extra pollen to help 
insure a better yield and set on the ears 
of corn. You will find complete details 
on weatherproof blend on the Mule 
Hybrid corn page. Be sure and include 
several bushels along with your fall or- 
der. : 



Taste Good? 
“JT have been one of your customers 

- for more than 35 years,” writes Mrs. D. 
E. Brogan of Sheridan, Missouri. ‘This 
picture shows my 2 great grandsons, 
Harry Murphy of Sheridan, Missouri on 
the right and Philip Hill, left, who lives 
at Grant City, Missouri. His father is 
in the service in Italy.” , : 
Glad to hear from such an old cus- 
tomer again and to see the young gar- 
deners coming along. Nothing is better 
for the kids than a garden, and the ear- 
lier they start the better. H. FP. | ef 

Popping Corn 
Hundreds of people have been writing 
me all summer wanting to know where 
they could buy good popeorn. We have 
a. dandy fine acreage growing here 
around Shenandoah. By the last of Oc- 
tober or first of November we will have 
plenty of poptorn for everybody. It’s 
guaranteed to pop too. I am offering 
you my new Hybrid South American, 
the big yellow kind, pops with a tremen- 
dous volume, and is guaranteed in every 
way. Special price 5 lbs. for $1, post- 
paid in zones 2, 3 and 4. Zones 5 and 6, 
add 12¢ for postage. 
6. Bu. from 500 Plants 
Mrs. Alvin Knepper of Wauneta, Neb- 
raska says she would liké to see more 
twins in Seed Sense,-so here are her 

twin girls, Donita and Berneta, age 5 _ 
yrs. ‘“‘Fhese are Henry Field’s Sweet 
Spanish Onions,” she says. ‘‘This is part 
of 6 bushel raised from only 500 plants.’ 
Looks like most of those onions weigh 
a pound apiece or more. H. FP. 



























From Her Soldier Brother | 
a : 
“Dear Mr. Field: Here is my pictur 
taken in my Hawaiian grass skirt thai 
my brother sent me from Honolulu 

With seasoning hard to get there is 
~ no reason why everyone shouldn’t grow 
some of his own. We have some mighty 
fine sage plants and offer them for fall 
delivery at 39c each, or three for 98¢, _ 
postpaid. Three of these will give you | 
a world of sage leaves. There is noth- 
ing so fine for seasoning sausage, dress- 
ings, and etc., as home grown sage. 
Save Seed 
It’s been a long, long time since the — 
legume seed situation has been as criti 
cal as it is this year, All seedsmen ar 
short on Alfalfa, Red Clover, and Alsike. 
There isn’t near enough seed to meet 
the demand for planting. Back up the 
Government’s plea for harvesting mo aes 
acreage for seed and save your last cut- 
ting of Red Clover this fall for seed pur- _ 
poses. Also if you have a good set on ~ 
your Alfalfa cutting, save that too. : 
Fields Seeds in New Guinea 
“Dear Mr. Field: I know you are inter- 
ested to know how your seeds grow in dif- 
ferent parts of the world, so I am writin 
to let you know how they do in New Guinea. ay 
_ “1 planted some of your White Radish and _ 
they came up in 48 hrs. We are geing to 
Start eating them in a few days. [I also — 
planted beans, onions and carrots. They all 
are looking very nice. I also have some of 
your Daisy Muskmelon and [I think if the _ 
bugs leave them alone they will make a crop. 
There are no weeds here and the ground is 
rich, Also ideal weather. It is really win- 
tertime here and it rains almost every night. 
Please send me Seed Sense. Id be glad to — 
set it.”—Pfic. Elmer W. Barrock, ¢/o Post- 
master, San Francisco. : b 
Well, here is Seed Sense. Only wish you |

your garden. Write me if you need more 
seed. H. F. ? : ;
