_ Some Elephant Ear! 
“Dear Henry: This picture was taken 
Jast fall of my wife and her Elephant 
Ear which we ordered from you last 

spring. The largest leaf measured 24 x 
_ 21. Also ordered Bleeding Hearts and 
grapes which were fine. The Bleeding 
Hearts bloomed beautifully.’—A. B. 
Myers, Box 155, Archer City, Texas. 
_. A Good Investment 
Se ene aE ee eee aet 
“Dear Mr. Field: 20 years ago we bought 
_ 3 apricot trees from you. We have sold 
+ 
d 
Poeeaine Most Out of Flowers 
bushels and bushels from them, gave to 
neighbors and friends besides canning’ all 
we needed for home use. I raise lovely gar- 
dens and flowers from your seeds. Have 
mever sent an order to you that has not 
been filled satisfactorily.”—Mrs, James R. 
Roller, Tipton, Indiana. 
Flowers are appreciated most the first 
year they bloom. That’s another reason 
for planting them in the Fall. Gives 
them a chance to get started and make 
up the root growth that really sends 
them off in the Spring. 

If your potate crop has produced a 
surplus for storage, they should be dug 
carefully, to avoid injury, and allowed to 
dry in the sun for a few hours only. 
What Is Your Guess? 
No, it doesn’t look 
much like a potato 
| growing does it, but 
, that’s what Mrs. B. C. 
Colmer of Woodhull, 
Illinois says it is. Mrs. 
Colmer writes, “I 
i found a potato grow- 
in the basement, 
planted it and staked 
| it up as it grew and 
, it grew to 6 ft. 7 in. 
when this picture was 
taken and still grew. 
When we dug it up it 
had 3 potatoes under 
it, 1 red and 2 smaller 
white ones. It was so 
odd many people 
would stop and look 
at it. I am only 5 ft. 
2 in. tall.’’ 


“They Were Wonderful” 
Mrs. Thomas Cox, Kellacey, Ken- 
tucky sends this picture of herself and 
some Banana squash raised from H. F. 
seed. She says, ‘They weighed from 
15 to 26% Ibs. Thank you, they were 
wonderful.”’ 
H. F. Dwarf Apple Coming 
Can’t tell you much about it yet, but 
want you to know I have a new DWARF 
apple tree coming along. Think it will 
be ready to introduce next spring. A 
realiy practical dwarf, that will bear 
heavy and easy. Price will be right, too.
