A PAGE FOR VISITING WITH HENRY FIELD CUSTOMERS 
bat ONLY GENUINE HENRY FIELD SEED WENT INTO THEIR GARDENS 








“Man” Behind the Plow 
I always like to print the pictures of little 
gardeners like Billie Thomas, 2 years old, of 
Shelbyville, Mich., because they remind me 
of my own grandchildren. Billie is the 
grandson of Mrs. Ed. Carleson, who grows 
Henry Field seed, and maybe he will be a 
eustomer some day, too,

Dear Mx. Field: We are more than pleased with the seed we boaght from you last spring. 
I am afraid you would doubt me if I tried to teli you about the success I had with my 
Victory Garden, so I am enclosing a picture as evidence. The potatoes average over one 
pound each, some of the squash weighed more than 50, and our corn raised from youn 
Hybrid Sweet Corn Blend was excellent—our friends raved about it. After I got the ex- 
hibit set up, I sat down to look over your catalog to get a line on seed I will want for next 
year, and my daughter snapped the picture.—L, O, Cummins, Marshfield, Mass.

trick. We sold 17 bushels and had this pile eat and ean for 2 families, ‘and sold $10

Two of a Kind 
Mr. and Mrs. Everett Jones of Brighton, 
¥il., say they haven’t seen a picture of twins 
im Seed Sense. So here are the Jones daugh- 
ters, Barbara Elien and Beverly Edna, aged 
41% years. I bet they eat their spinach every 
day.

Here's four mighty proud young gardeners from Kanorado, Kans. They’re the children of 
Mrs. Melvin A. Runge, who says they worked hard all summer planting and tending their 
own special plot, and even if “Ma” did help with the canning, they feel like it’s their own.
