Takes Two to Lift It 
“Dear Mr. Field: It was all my two 
grandsons could do to lift this Banana 
Squash raised last year from your seed.

that you kept this, one stored for a long 
time. That’s what comes from planting 
good Henry Field seed. You get the best 
there is.—H.F. ;

New Way to Ship Perennials 


For a number of years, we have been | 
experimenting with different ways of han- 
dling perennials so our customers will 
get best results. We have come to the 
eonclusion that the best way to handle 
them is to ship them by themselves, not 
; ‘with the other nursery stock. We hadn’t 
decided on this when the catalog went 
out so we are telling you this story in the 
¥ Seed Sense. If you order shrubbery, fruit 
trees, or other items and you ‘don’t get 
your perennials with them, don’t worry 
about them. The perennials will come 
along later. 
Pays to Plant Best 
“Dear Henry: Just a few lines as IT am 
sending for some Sweet Corn and Turnip 
seed. EI want to tell you I got the best re- 
sults from my seed that I got from you. 
Every seed came up, so it surely pays to 
plant the best.”—Mrs. C, F. Moyers, Hunt- 
ington, Mo. . 
Ate Plenty and Canned 140 Qts. 
“Dear Mr. Field: I received the garden 
seeds 0.k. We planted your hybrid sweet 
eorn last year and had worlds of it, despite 
“the drought, and was it good! I canned 140 
qts. for myself and the married children 
canned some too. We ate all we wanted 
twice a day for a month.”—Mrs,. Van Huber, 
Route 2, Belton, Mo, | . 

_ Mrs. Fleming’s Pet Squirrel 
Mrs. Fleming lives in Champaign, Illi- 
nois. She raises a fine garden every year 
and is a Henry Field booster. I wonder if 
the Squirrel ever digs up the; corn and 
melon seeds. =:

- More on Gardens vs. Ration Points 
I know you'll be interested in the tele- 
gram sent to the big Victory Garden Con- 
ference in New York by Chester Bowles, 
headman of the O.P.A. It proves what 
I’ve been saying in Seed Sense right 
along. Here it is: 
The tremendous contribution made during 
1943 by Patriotic Victory Gardeners helped 
make possible the recent removal of all ration 
points on green and wax beans and reductions 
of such important items as canned tomatoes 
and peas. Victory Gardeners deserve appre- 
ciation of entire nation for their invaluable co- 
operation in increasing total food supply. The 
Nation urgently needs continuing expansion of 
this patriotic and indispensable program in 
especial consideration of enormous anticipated 
requirements in 1944. 
~ Now let’s show Mr. Bowles. and the 
country what we gardeners can really do 
this year in our gardens. er

70 Plants Make 22 Gallons 
““Dear Henry: These are some of the 
strawberries that I grew last June from 
the Bellmars I got from you a year ago. 
I had 35 Belimars and 35 Senator Dun- 
laps. I picked 22 gallons and 2 quarts. 
Picked every one myself. My son, How- 
ard, said that last summer was the first 
time he got all the berries he wanted. 
We ate berries for dinner and supper for 
4 weeks. Everybody that saw them said 
they were the largest and best berries 
ane ever saw.”—T. I. Harriman, Opdyke,
