Two of a Kind

'  2-4-D Best Weed Killer 
Have had lots of letters about 2-4-D, 
_ the new weed killer that really does the 
Lid job, and I can’t recommend it enough. 
I listed it on page 9 of the catalog, but 
ie didn?t put in the numbers and letters. 
i WEEDONE is the trade name and you'll 
. find a complete description. Get your 
a orders for it in early. This fine product 
- has had so much good notice from state 
colleges and magazines everywhere that 
I’m sure to be sold out soon. 
Does It Quick 
“Dear Mr. Field: Your Bug Dust is the first 
and only thing that I have ever used that 
really gets rid of pests, and does it so quick.” 
Everett J. Keeney, Rt. 1, Bucyrus, Kansas. 
| Hate to Admit It 
Yes, I hate to admit it, but last spring 





tomers who have been coming to me for 
years for fruit trees and flowers and other 
nursery. But I just couldn’t help it. 
In the first place, you sent in so many 
~ orders that it almost swamped me just 
reading them. I had an awful time get- 
ting help and some orders went out late. 
‘That was bad enough, but what hurt me 
_ the most was that I couldn’t even fill 
some of them. _ Just. didn’t have the 
ek 
This year it’s different. I’ve & more 
help: (lots of the boys are back at work 
bittom the war) and I’m going to get my 
orders out on time. But there is still 
some doubt about whether I’ll have 
enough nursery to go around. A few 
items are going to be short I know right 
” now. Others will, too, as spring advances. 
Not too many, I hope. So get your orders 
in as quick as you can. I always send 
out first orders first, and you or what 
ae that means.

_ HENRY FIELD'S SEED SENSE FOR MARCH, 1946—Henry Field Seed & Nursery 


Large and Beautiful 
‘Dear Sir: I received your .copy of 
Seed Sense and enjoyed it very much. 
Here is a picture of my little girl in the 
flowers. She is standing beside a white 
Gladiolus. .The blooms were very large 
and beautiful.’”—Mrs. Dale Baughman, 
327 Tuttle St., Alpena, Michigan. 
_ Shrubful of Roses 
Nothing more beautiful or more color- 
ful than the shrub roses. Half shrub 
and half rose. They bloom all season, 
are absolutely hardy and grow any place, 
You 
should have at least a couple. One TI left 
out of the catalog is Rosa Rogosa Hansa. 
And don’t be afraid of the name. It’s 
one of the best. Large—deep red—so 
bright in color you can see it for half 
a mile. Will send for 89c each or 3 for 
$2.49; Ask for No. L-91. 
Mrs. Field’s Baked Beans 

1 cup dry beans (or 1 qt. cooked beans) 
6 small onion, sliced or minced 
1 tsp. salt (and pepper to taste) 
4 tbl. tomato ketchup 
4 cup brown sugar (or part sorghum 
or other molasses) 
3 cups bean liquid or water 
6 slices bacon or salt pork 
Soak the dry beans overnight in plenty 
of water. Pour off the water and add 
fresh water and boil for % hour or until 
they begin to soften. Drain off liquid 
(but save it) and put beans in a baking 
dish. Add other ingredients and lay the 
bacon on top. Bake 4 hours or more at 
low heat. Baking slowly and for a long 
time is the secret of good baked beans. 
Keep covered at first but leave the cover 
off a little at the last. Some-use a little 
ginger or mustard as. seasoning—but let 
your own taste be your guide as to that.

Stakes for tomatoes should be set in 
the ground at the time of sowing the 
seed or setting the plants rather than 
later to avoid injuring the roots.
