Made Good Syrup 
“Dear Mr. Field: This is me in my cane 
patch grown from H. F. seed. This cane 
was very large and over 17 ft. tall. We 
had about %4 acre of it. It made good 
syrup, the color of honey. Livestock liked 
it too. We cured some and put it up for 
hay.’’——Chas. Weaver, Mt. View, Missouri. 
Use Old Nick 
Last year we introduced Old Nick seed 
treatment for Hybrid Corn. It worked 
equally as well on popcorn and sweet 
corn, too. We are sure you will find ita 
big help in protecting your newly planted 
crops from mice, pheasants, squirrels, 
wireworms, crows, and other pests. It 
saves time, easy to apply and costs only 
8c to 4c per acre. A big 12 oz. bottle, 
enough for 4 bu. of corn, only $1.00, post- 
paid. Use it on your vine crops such as 
melons, squash and cucumbers too. It is 
cheap insurance. 
White Dogwood 
Probably 
the most 
‘beautiful of 
all the Ozark 
wild flowers 
is the White 
Dogwood 
(cornus flor- 
ida). You 
have doubt- 
less heard of 
1.0) Mansy. 
times, but 
few of you 
have seen, it 
unless you 
have been in 
the Ozarks in 
April. Few 
realize that it can be grown here, and 
anywhere from here on south. It prefers 
partial shade. 
It is a large shrub or small tree, about 
like a small plum tree, and in early spring, 
before the leaves come, it is literally cov- 
ered with large white or pink flowers, 
which hang on for at least 3 weeks. The 
blooms look some like apple blossoms but 
are two or three times as large, and are 
followed in the fall by bright red berries 
which stay on all winter —if the birds 
don’t get them. 
I can supply small young trees from my 
Ozark garden, postpaid, at 35c each or 3 
for $1.00, or larger ones at 60e¢ each or 2 
for $1.00. Ask for HF-32 and HF-33. H.F. 



Ill Get ’?em Grandma 
“Dear Henry: My little grandson, Stan- 
ley Brainard, 3 yrs. old, standing on a 6 
ft. step ladder beside a planting of H. F. 
Joana Hybrid Sweet Corn. It was planted 
July 4 and we had sweet corn from the 
latter part of Sept. till the middle of Oc- 
tober. The corn grew 10 to 12 ft. high. 
We think it is the best corn we ever had. 
We also grew your Early Giant and had 
it several days earlier than the 65 you 
advertise. Also had Stringless Green Pod 
Beans in 48 days. From 2 pkts. of seed I 
canned beans for a family of 7 and gave 
away basketsful.’’—Mrs. Nelson Cowdery, 
Box 37, Hartford, Ohio.

Calf Eats Popcorn 
“Dear Henry and Mrs. Field: This is the 
second year we have planted your So. Amer- 
ican Hybrid Popeorn. When it was. 6 inches 
high a calf broke into the garden and ate 
the tops off a number of hills. You couldn’t 
tell the difference now, however, to see the 
nice, large bright ears there waiting to be 
picked. Those large, golden kernels pop so 
tender and flaky and they’re truly weleome 
little guests on a long, wintry evening when 
the wind howls and the snow swirls around 
the corner.”—Mrs. John Rudnick, Rt. 1, Au- 
dubon, Iowa.

41 Lbs. on Dry Land 
“Dear Mr. Field: This is my daughter, 
Dorothy Doran, with pumpkin raised on 
dry land from H. F. seeds. Pumpkin 
weighs 41 Ibs. It is No. 764, Yankee 
Field, in your catalog and is certainly 
good for stock or pies. Dorothy is fond ~- 
of pumpkin pie.’’—Mrs. John Doran, 
Miles City, Montana. : 
More from Beans 
Beans have not had their fair share of | 
“Garden Glory.’’ No other vegetable will — 
grow so easily or is as widely adapted. 
Beans will grow most anywhere, on poor ~ 
soil, in partially shaded Blaces: and with 
other crops. a ey 
You can plant them most any “time: too. rN 
Here we plant beans as late as the last of aes 
July or the first of August, following | 
tatoes or other early things. It only | takes” i. 
from 45 to 65 Jaye to make a crop of ae x 
beans. aa 
There are so many kinds too, it is no as 
trouble to pick out just the one to suit is 
your need. Personally I like Field’s First 
Harly about as well as any. It is an all — 
around bush pod bean. Not only does it 
make beautiful straight 7 inch pods for 
table or canning but the seed. being large © 
and white is ideal for drying for winter 
use. You can use it either way. That is 
why we call it the “‘double, duty” bean. 
It is priced at % lb. for 29c, it lb. for 46c 
or 3 lbs. for $1.10, postpaid. : 
Then there is the old standard Burpee’s 
Stringless Green Pod. It is always good, v 
the pods are a little shorter than First 
Early and they have a tendency to curve 
just a little. The price on this one is 4% 
lb, for 25c,-a lb. for 45c¢ or 3 Ibs. for 
$1.10, postpaid. Se? 
If you like Wax Beans or Yellow 
Podded Beans try the Rust Proof Golden 
Wax. The same price as Burpee’s. : 
Somewhere around in the garden plant 
some pole beans, perhaps next to the 
fence or maybe there will be some rows 
of sweet corn or field corn to support 
them. The Fillbasket Pole Bean is my 
pick, it’s the white seeded variety and 
makes fine dry beans for winter, too. I 
originally got this from my neighbors in 
Missouri; read what I say about it on 
page 18 in the catalog. s 
If you want a good Pole Lima Bean 
plant the Hopi Indian Lima.- The story 
pees that is on page 18 of the big cata 
og 
Don’t forget to inoculate your beans. 
A 10c packet of Legume Aid is enough to 
treat about 8 lbs. of beans or peas. Full = 
directions are printed on the packet. In- 
oculation makes them bigger and better. |
