4. HENRY FIELD’S SEED SENSE FOR FALL, 1947—Henry Field Seed & Nursery Co., Shenandoah, Iowa ~

“Enjoy Ordering” 
“Dear Mr. Field: Received your Seed 
Sense again and think it is a real paper. 
Enjoy ordering your shrubs, trees and 
bulbs because I have such good luck with 
them. Here is a picture of a Catalpa 
tree I ordered from you. Has been out 
about 18 mos. The first spring it only 
had about 5 leaves and look at it now. 
The smaller guy is my brother and the 
other my husband.’’—Mrs. David Brewer, 
Rt. 4, Box 281, Paragould, Arkansas, 


All from One Seed 
“Dear Sir: This Heavenly Blue morn- 
ing glory was grown from one seed. 
Thought it would be interesting for your 
Seed Sense. Some of the blossoms were 
6 inches in diameter. Had a beautiful 
flower garden. That is my husband in 
the picture.”’’—Mrs, R. A. Somers, Rt. 1, 
Chanipaign, Dlinois. 
Fooled Again!! 
‘Dear Mr. Field: Here is my little 
granddaughter dressed as a bride. Her 
name is Marian Johr and she is 4 years 
old. The flowers were gathered in the 
woods. We had a fine Henry Field gar- 
den last year. Enjoy Seed: Sense very 
much,.’’—Mrs. Oscar Johr, Rt. 1, Gran- 
ton, Wisconsin. 
Fooled again! 
send a rose anyway. 
But guess I’ll have to 
Hey; 


Takin’ It Easy in Va. 
“Dear Mr. Field: Am sending you a 
snapshot of my 3 yr. old son, Larry. This 
was his favorite pastime at milking time 
all summer, Hope you can use it in Seed 
Sense. We like your garden seeds very 
much.”—Mrs. Fred J. Pugh, Riner, Vir- 
ginia. 
Surprised at Size 
eee Se ae 
“Dear Sir: Received my rose bushes and 
was really surprised at the size of them. 
They are so much nicer than the ones I 
ordered from Texas. Everyone says they 
are the very fimest they have ever seen. 
Thank you for my free gift”’—Mrs. J. T. 
Leerskov, Box 94, Bromide, Oklahoma, 
“Tiny” Spring Bulbs 
Most of us don’t plant enough of the 
tiny spring bulbs. I guess the reason is 
that their bloom is so small that the 
tulips and hyacinths and daffodils in the 
catalog overshadow them. Every spring 
when the first crocus shows its bright 
bloom, I wish I’d set out more. And this 
goes for the Grape Hyacinths, Glory-in- 
the-Snow and Scillas, too. They bloom so 
early, that even in spite of small size 
they are-as welcome as spring itself. 
A good hoeing sometimes is worth even 
more than a light shower. 
Send in Your Pictures 
Yes, I still want your pictures and the 
more pictures I receive the better I like 
it. I enjoy seeing how my garden seed, 
nursery stock, etc. produces for you. And 
don’t forget to send some chicken, corn 
and field seed pictures, too. It’s a lot 
more fun putting out Seed Sense if I have 
a lot of good customer pictures for it. 
And remember I still pay 50c for every 
picture I use. 
A Boy and His Pony 
“Dear Mr. Field: 
This is my son, Frank 
J. Marshall, age 10, on 
his pony. We have 
some beautiful Lilac 
bushes and Spirea in 
our yard that came 
. from Henry Field’s and 
are the same age, 10 
years old.” — Mrs, 
Frank J. Marshall, 
West Rd., Munnsville, 
New York.

Some HLF. Chickens 
Mrs. Roy Frazier, Arthur, Nebraska, 
sends this picture of her husband and 
herself taken with some of her mother’s 
White Rock pullets which were purchased 
from Henry Field’s. Mrs. Frazier says, 
“T am sending you a big order soon.” 
H.F. Packets Most Generous 
SGPT Lae, Sei ath ait See na Re esa a a ae OR 
“Dear Mr. Field: I really have good luck 
with your seed and the packets are the most 
generous I have ever seen or bought.”’—Geo. 
F. Copeland, Rt. 1, Carnegie, Oklahoma, 
Order by Number 
I always like to give my customers the 
best. service possible, and I know that is 
what all of you want. One of the things 
that will help both of us is to order by 
number, and use my order blank or any 
piece of paper. The number is always 
prominently displayed so you can’t miss it. 
Henry’s Haunted House 
You'd be amazed and maybe scared too 
if you could come down in the big nursery 
storage cellars here at Henry Fields. This 
year is paying off on an experiment we’ve. 
been conducting for some time. We're 
using electronic tubes, long blue ones 
that give a haunted atmosphere to the 
cellars, that absolutely kills fungus germs 
of any kind that might attack the nursery 
stock. So when H. F.. nursery comes out 
cleaner to you than ever before, you’ll 
know that this is part of the reason. 
You should come visit us and see some 
of these new improvements. We've got 
a lot to show you, and we’re always glad 
to have you.

of 300 Sweet Spanish onion plants I 
purchased from you. We raised $ bu.,

like your seeds very much.”—Mr. and 
Mrs, Albert Lange, Sr., Rt. 4, Ashley, Dl
