“Dear Mr. Field: Here is a picture of 
my 2 children Becky age 11 and Ronnie 
age 3. They are enjoying some water- 
melon grown from H. F. seeds. They also 
enjoy many other vegetables grown from 
your seeds. I cannot praise you enough 
for keeping down prices. Thanks so much 
for the free gifts I received with my or- 
der.”’—Mrs. Jesse Wrenn, Rt. 6, Bex 171, 
Lexington, North Carolina. 
I think Ronnie has almost more than 
he can handle. Don’t you?—H. F. 
What Do You Think? 
“Dear Mr. Wield: Have planted your seeds 
for 2 yrs. and am very well. pleased with 
them. Last year we bought 3 Ibs. of your 
Stringless Green Pod beans. We canned 30 
at. of green .Jbeans, shelled out and canned 
24 pt., guve beans to the neighbors and 
picked 60 Ibs. of dry ones. I thought that 
was pretty good. What do you think??— 
Mrs. W. H. Heisler, Hopedale, Ohio. 
I think so, too.—H, Fy

Hard to Beat 
“Dear Mr. Field: Have ordered my gar-

3 yrs. and have had the best luck with 
Field’s seeds. I really believe every seed 
fZrows. Planted ¥% Ib. of Little Marvel peas

George Petersen, Green Island, Iowa,

The “Honeysweet” Strawberry 
A New Hybrid Everbearer 
Do you remember the wild strawber- 
Ties you used to pick when you were a 
kid? Of course, you do. And you have 
never since been able to find any straw- 
berry so sweet.and so fragrant and set so 
thick on the vines. Of course, they were 
small and lasted only a short time but 
they were so good, 
Well, someone got the brifht idea of 
crossing or hybridizing them with some 
big, modern everbearing strawberry like 
the 1166 with the idea of getting a hybrid 
with the wonderful flavor and fragrance 
of the wild berry and the large size and 
everbearing habit of the other parent— 
and he almost succeeded, too. 
The new “half wild” everbearer, “Honey- 
sweet.” Small—but, oh! so sweet. 
The hybrid he got has all the sweet- 
ness and fragrance of the wild berry, the 
same vigorous growth and hardiness and 
the same prolific blooming and bearing— 
and everbearing. In fact, the ‘‘everbear- 
ingest”? berry I ever saw. Blooms and 
bears all summer, the first summer and 
right on. 
But he was disappointed in the size: 
Bigger than a wild berry but not the big 
berry he hoped for. They are up to an 
inch in diameter, no larger, but real lit- 
tle nuggets of honey. Hardy as blue- 
grass, loaded with bloom, and fruit, the 
most delicious you ever ate, but small. 
J have a good crop of plants and while 
they last will fill orders at 25 for $1.50; 
50 for $2.50; 100-for $4.75, postpaid.

Over 100 Eggs Daily 
“Dear Sir: Got my chickens from *you 
last year and from 150 hens I got over 100 
eggs every day all winter so I am really 
proud of my Henry Field chickens.”—Mrs,. 
Fred Gutschow, Rt. 1, Blair, Nebraska. 
Bloom 23 Yrs. 
“Dear Mr, Field: Just wanted you to 
know I had a good garden again this year 
as I always do when I order your seeds. 
Sent my first order to you 23 years ago 
which was for 10 grape vines and 10 gladi- 
olus bulbs. There has never been a short- 
_age of grapes at eur house since and have 
given hundreds of gladiolus bulbs away. 
The crocus are a breath-taking sight each 
spring. Three roses I ordered from you 20 
yrs. ago aré “still as beautiful as ever.”— 
‘Kate Mick Yates, Rt. 4 Box 5, Weston, West 
Virginia, 
Disturb roots as little as possible when 
transplanting.

You'll Be Sorry! 
Orders for baby chicks have taken a slump all over the country—even here at 
Henry Fields. 
Most ways I can’t blame you growers. 
What with the high cost of 
feed, and the dilly-dallying of the government, chickens didn’t look much like a 
money-making proposition early this year. 
But there’s one thing we can’t overlook. 
half, the supply of meat and eggs gets cut in half. 
HAVE to raise—fast and HIGH. 
Ke ders are pouring in now that used to come in Jan. and Feb. Don’t put ine off 
too long. 

If we ALL cut our orders for chicks in 
When that’ comes about,, prices
