About Shipping 
Dr a a ad 
Every year there are a few customers 
who write in saying that some of their 
nursery order is missing. Sometimes, of 
course, we make a mistake, but not often. 
What usually happens is that an order is 
split up according to when it should be 
planted. We fill your orders when our 
‘stock is in best condition and at the 
proper planting time. Garden seeds and 
non-perishable goods are always shipped 
immediately. Perennials, Vegetable 
Plants, House Plants, Evergreens, Pan- 
sies, Wild Flowers, Strawberries and 
Bulbs come in separate packages even 
‘when sent the same day. Some plants 
and nursery stock are shipped in sepa- 
rate packages, so you may receive sev- 
eral shipments on one order. Heavy 
‘seeds are shipped by freight. So look 
over the papers in your order very care- 
fully. They’ll tell you all about it. You 
can always depend on Henry Field to 
‘send good stock, on time, and at a fair 
prise: Sete orios : 
Real Jr. Salesman

from you were sure nice, too. 
AY, Yrs. Plus 30 
This picture was sent in by Mrs. Guy 
Stonestreet, Rt. 2, Cumberland, Mary- 
land. It is her son, Sonny, and his pet 
horse, Rose, coming in to dinner. Sonny 
is 414 yrs. old and Rose is 30 yrs. old. 
The picture was taken while they were 
helping with the fall seeding. His mother 
says, ‘‘We are new customers of yours. 
Answered an ad in a magazine for yellow 
carnation and Seed Sense and both came 
through fine. The plant wintered in Al 
condition. We were very much pleased 
with it and sure enjoy Seed Sense. 
All Roses Bloomed 
‘Mear Sir: I ordered 10 roses last spring 
from you. They all lived and are truly beau- 
tiful. My neighbors all admired them, so 
wouldn’t be surprised if you receive more 
rose orders from my neighborhood.”’—Mrs. 
Earl V. Moore, Rt. 2, Benton, Illinois. 
My Nursery Guarantee 
Yes, I guarantee all my nursery stock 
and the following are some of the reasons 
why I do: 
(1) My nursery stock is all state 
. inspected. 
(2) Free from disease. 
(3) Of the heaviest quality. 
(4) First-class in every way. 
(5) True to name. 
If you are not absolutely pleased with 
my nursery stock when you receive it, 
return it promptly at my expense and I 
will replace it or refund your money, 
whichever you wish. I guarantee it to ar- 
rive in first-class, live-growing condition. 
If, after it is planted, it fails to grow, I 
think we should divide the blame. I'll 
take one-half and you and the weather 
the other half, and Ill replace at half 
price anything unsatisfactory through 
any fault of the stock. Fair enough, 
don’t you think? 
Satisfied with Everything 
“Dear Mr. Field: I sure like the results I 
get from your seeds. Have used them for 
several years. The new contest melon was 
sure fine. They really tasted good. Had 
some of the prettiest flowers I have ever 
seen, so many colors. Many people wanted 
seed from them, so I told them where I 
bought the seed. The chickens I ordered

up to put it in this March Seed Sense. I 
didn’t have enough for the catalog. This

see that I thought'very much of. It is 
really a purple, large flowers, a beautiful 
thing. This is a new purple variety. I 
like it and I think you will, too. No. BN75. 
Price: 50c¢ each, postpaid.

“Tomato King” 
“Dear Henry: Here is a shot of some 
of your Red Head tomatoes and of myself. 
Tomatoes and Asters are my hobby. Tried 
your new orange tomato last year and it 
was very good. I am an old Missourian 
myself, but haven’t seen the Ozarks, or 
areal big mule either, for 40 years. They 
call me ‘Tomato King’ out here.”’—John 
Albert, 5916 Rainier Ave., Seattle, Wash-
