Mule Hybrid in N. Y. 
You can find my Mule Hybrid almost 
anywhere you want to look. This is James 
H. Lieurance, Rt. 2, Cozenovia, N. Y. He 
didn’t say what number he was growing. 
Wish he had. This field looks good for 
so far East. “I was 74 last October. and 
_ tended that field of corn myself,” he says.

Bigger Than She Is 
“Dear Mr. Field: My little grand- 
daughter, Barbara Ann Held, age 2, with 
the giant New Guinea raised last year. I 
had so much garden stuff to can & put 
away in the cellar that I sure will con- 
tinue to use your seeds.’’—Mrs. Earl 
Glienke, Markville, Minnesota. 
Do You Have an Extra Catalog? 
Give It to Your Neighbor 
One of the biggest headaches I have 
these days is to get enough paper to send 
everybody a catalog that wants and needs 
one. Wish you would help me here. 
Lots of you customers send your or- 
ders under different names each year. 
That is, one year “‘ma’’ sends in the order 
with her name, then “pa’’ does and next 
maybe son John and daughter Jane. Well, 
it all ends up by some families getting 
more than one catalog under several first. 
names, when they only need and want 
one. y i 
If this has happened in your family, I 
wish you’d tell me about it next time 
you write or order, and in the meantime 
| give the extra catalog to your neighbor. 
This way you will help the paper short- 
age and me too. 
Plant Nursery Immediately 
Don’t delay planting nursery stock, and 
especially don’t let it stand around in a 
hot, dry place. It should get into the 
ground as soon as possible. We will Ship 
you stock in perfect condition for plant- 
ing, but we cannot guarantee that it will 
remain so unless you cooperate. If you 
have to hold off. planting, heel the stock 
in the ground where the roots and part 
of the trunk will be protected with moist 
earth. Never expose roots to the sun or 
air for any great length of time. 
Best Flock Ever

Field: Picture of 
my mother, Mrs. 
Eva Lee, and her 
chickens. She

Back to Mule Hybrid 
“Dear Henry: We haven’t had a good 
crop of corn for 2 years, so that’s why 
we are switching back to Mule Hybrid. 
This is Theresa Conway feeding the chick- 
ens some of Henry’s corn—and did they 
ever do good. I canned 34 qts. in one 
picking of your stringless yellow pod 
beans & only had one row.’’—Mrs. Peter 
J. Conway, Rt. 2, Lansing, Iowa.
