z HENRY FIELD’S SEED SENSE FOR FALL, 1948—Henry Field Seed & Nursery Co., Shenandoah, lowa 





Back From fhe Garden 
“Dear Mr. Field: Our little 2 yr. old 
daughter, Marilyn, wants you to see 
some of the fine watermelons which 
were grown from your seeds. Had loads 
of them and sure enjoyed them.”’— 
Mr. and Mrs. Verle Mayo, Stanford, 
Nebraska. 

Best Chicks From Fields 
“Dear Mr. Field: Here is a picture of 
myself and my 10 weeks old Henry 
Field chicks. They were the best and 
most paying chicks J ever had.’?—Mrs. 
J. G. Fry, Columbus, Kansas. 

Picnic For Two 
Mrs, Robert G. McDonald, Prescott, 
Arkansas sends this picture of her 
little twin boys. It looks to me like 
they’ve been enjoying some Henry Field 
watermelon, Mrs. McDonald says, “I 
era your seeds and bulbs are won- 
erful.’”’ 

Never Fail with H. F. Seed 
“Dear Mr. Field: I am sending you 
a picture of myself with a wheelbarrow 
of H. F. Vegetables. Each one is per- 
fect. It is not easy to grow things in 
Wyoming, but with your seeds I never 
fail to get a fine crop.’’—Mrs. Tward- 
oski, 616 Ludvig St., Rock Springs, Wyo- 
ming. 
A Problem on Names 
I get so many nice letters from people 
telling me how much they enjoy the 
catalog. Now I want everyone of you 
who want one to have one but I have 
a little problem I’d like to talk over 
with you. Sometimes when your order 
comes in it comes under Mrs.’s name. 
Maybe next time Mr. sends the order 
under his name, then maybe daygh- 
ter or son. That way one family may 
receive 2 or maybe 3 catalogs. So if 
this is true in your family, I’d sure 
like to know it next time you send in 
your order, and if you get an extra 
one, give it to a friend or neighbor, 
maybe he’ll enjoy it, too.

eS ee aaa 
“Dear Mr. Field: Received my last order 
of trees in good condition. We now have 13 
of your trees in our orchard. Set 4 of them 
out about a week ago and the peach trée 
is budding out now. We certainly like your 
trees. Also, thank you for my free gift. 
Certainly enjoy the Seed Sense.”—Mrs. Bet- 
A? Young, Rt. 1, Box 171, Sharpsville, In- 
iana, 

Two At a Time?? 
“Dear Mr. Field: I have been a cus- 
tomer of yours for 35 yrs. or more. Had 
a rambler rose that had 105 roses in 
one cluster and all opened but one or 
two buds. Was a, beautiful thing. Am 
enclosing a picture of my son’s baby 
girl with the calves. We all enjoy Seed 
Sense and would like to see this in it.” 
—Mrs. Maggie Brinson, Waynoka, Okla- 
homa, c-o Mrs. A.,C. Zook. 
Here it is. H. F. 
You Can’t Have Tulips 
Unless You Fall Plant 
Remember the gorgeous display of 
Tulips last May? Well, the only way to 
have a bed of your own is to plant them 
this Fall. All the Dutch bulbs must be 
Fall planted, so get your order in and 
plan for the big Spring parade of color. 
From Way Down South 
“Dear Mr. Field: My husband has been a 
customer of yours for several years and 
likes_your seed and nursery stock fine, I 
wish you could see the grape vines he or- 
dered from you 3 yrs. ago. They bore clus- 
ters of grapes the first year and they sure 
are fine. We grew the largest watermelons 
in our community from your State Fair 
melon seeds. The sugar lumps sure have the 
right name, They are the sweetest melon I 
have ever eaten. Our Giant Mastodon straw- 
berries are the finest we have ever grown.” 
—Mrs, Orpha Moore, Rt, 1, Salem, South 
Carolina. 
Get Ahead on Fruit 
You’ll notice I’ve got more fruit listed 
for Fall than ever. That’s because you 
folks have been learning to Fall plant 
and are really satisfied. Always have 
done it myself. It’s the way to get ahead 
—getrthings going and root stock devel- 
oped so plants will really start growing 
QUICK in the spring and continue to 
grow FAST. 
Notice the page for Southern Gardens, 
too. Here are some of the things you 
people south of Shenandoah can plant 
this Fall which ordinarily do not-do so 
well North. 


is fine mulch for late 
shedding 
Peat moss 
started hardy perennials, 
moisture well, and preventing heaving. 
from thawing and freezing. 
More NEW Things 
You’ll find more new things in this 
Seed Sense and Catalog than I ever listed 
in the Fall. Look it over carefully be- 
fore you order so you won’t miss any- 
thing. New plants are the spice of any 
garden. Want you to have some of them.
