Hybrid Reservations 
Place your order now for your entire 
supply of Henry’s MULE HYBRID that 
you will want for 1945 spring planting. 
You might just as well save the differ- 
ence by booking your order now at Hen- 
ry’s low opening prices. We followed 
this practice for years to always give 
the early buyer a special discount, and 
the same thing holds true this fall. Be- 
sides the buyer who places his order for 
Mule Hybrid Corn now, knows that he 
will be first on the list to have the corn 
reserved. That is important consider- 
ing the late, wet spring and the fact 
that many hybrid companies will have 
lots of soft corn which will reduce the 
normal seed supply. Don’t forget Hen- 
ry’s corn this year, It is “stand guar- 
anteed and will be ready for Jan. ist 
shipment. It is all carefully shelled and 
graded, treated with corn ‘dust and 
ready for the planter box. You won’t 
find a better grade, or higher germinat- 
ing corn than we have to offer you right 
now.

Plants for Quick Results 
Many folks I know are buying proper- 
ties now, and many more are going to be 
building new homes before long. When- 
ever you move on to a place, or build a 
new home, the first thing you want is 
something that will give you results right 
away in the way of ornamentais and 
fruits. I just thought it might be of in- 
terest to give you a list of those that ,sive 
about the quickest results. * 
In ornamentals roses are ideal. They 
bloom profusely the first summer. This 
is particularly true of our Hybrid Teas, 
and Baby roses. The spring blooming 
roses of the climbing variety, will not | 
bloom the first year. Shrubs, these gen- 
erally bloom the first year. Spirea An-— 
thony Waterer; (the dwarf red spirea) 
Hydrangea A.G., Hydrangia P.G., Spirea 
Billardi, Butterfly Bush, Crepe Myrtle and 
There are some others, but 
these are particularly good. ,
