24. HENRY FIELD’S SEED SENSE FOR FALL, 1945—<=Henry Field Seed & Nursery Co., Shenandoah, Towa 

Popcorn. 
Field Hybrid is a vigorous grower. 
ries 2 ears to the stalk and can be picked with a mechanical picker. 
the poppingest popcorn you ever saw, and the best tasting too. It has just aides hull 
to hold the kernel together. 
We didn’t have near enough seed to go around this year. Big growers who grow for 
regular popcorn machine men and commercial poppers want all the seed. Next spring 
be sure to plant some Henry Field Hybrid South American Popcorn. If you grow a big 
acreage, better write me this fall so I can be sure to save the seed for iad 
We're Still Raising 
4 Wagon Box Hogs | 
— Wagon BOX Bs? 
Yes, we’re still raising those wonder- 
fully big Poland China ‘‘Wagon Box’’ 
Hogs you’ve heard so much about. . Don’t 
have very many, and there seems to be 
more demand for them than we can sat- 
isfy, but if you are interested, write and 
we'll tell you what we have, or will have 
this fall. Can’t make promises on de- 
livery, unless inquiries come in early. 

Tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant and 
ground cherries are closely related and 
belong to the same family. 

“MAGGIE” 
The Seedhouse Monk 
A great favorite of the youngsters who 
visit the seedhouse. She has very definite 
likes and dislikes, Always looks everything 
over carefully the second time. Here she is 
giving the “once over” to some of the new 
Ranger Alfalfa. She likes alfalfa blossoms 
very much—even better than bananas.

The picture above shows you more than I can tell you in writing. You can 
see for yourself it is a great yielder—50 to 60 bushels per acre are common. The Henry

Planting Berries 
Although a lot of berries can be spine’ 
in the fall, 
careful about it. I have planted alniost 
all of them in fall, but some don’t do so 
well, and about half of them winter kill. 
I recommend that you plant red raspber- — 
ries like Latham and Rudy. Wait until 
spring for the rest of them. 
Evergreens Need Moisture 
One thing fall planted evergreens need 
is moisture. They do a lot of growing in 
the late months, and if they get dried out, 
they don’t have the chance to really de- 
velop. 
Nothing but H. F. Hybrid 
“Dear Henry: I have planted your corn 
for several years now and use no other kind. 
I raised 625 bushels on 6 acres last year.”— 
Sam B. Noe, Union, Iowa. 
A Golden Text 
“If any provide not for his own and spe- 
cially for those of his own house, he hath 
denied the faith, and is worse than an in- 
fidel. (Secon | Timothy 5-8.
