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


55th Anniversary; 
“Dear Mr. Field: I am enclosing with 
my order a picture of my mother and 
father, Mr. and Mrs. R. V. Nix, taken 
a few days before their 55th wedding 
anniversary. Had a fine garden from 
your seeds last year. My Gladiolus 
were beautiful. Enjoy Seed Sense and 
read it over and over.’’—Mrs. L. W. 
Gaza, Manning, Arkansas, 
Payment in Nursery 
Lots, of times we receive orders from 
you customers which include some ex- 
press collect and some postpaid items. 
If these two go out together, which 
sometimes happens, you have to pay 
charges on the full shipment which isn’t 
fair. Rather than make up two pack- 
ages we decided it would be better to 
put in extra nursery stock to MORE 
than make up for the extra charges you 
paid on the postpaid items. I think 
this is a good deal and you really get 
a good bargain out of it. 
57 Blooms at Once 
“Dear Mr. Field: Just had to tell you 
about our Paul’s Scarlet Climber we got 
from you last fall. This spring it had 57 
large roses on it all in bloom at the same 
time, Our tulips were perfect. All bloomed 
and the bulbs increased 3 times in number. 
Your free gift of a phlox was wonderful.”— 
Ernest C. Lacy, St. James, Missouri.

Picking Cherries for 
Mother 
‘Dear Mr. Field: Here. is a picture 
of my little girl, Emma Jean, age 5, 
picking cherries from a bush cherry I 
ordered from you a few years past. It 
bears very well and they make the 
finest jelly I ever ate.’’—Mrs. E. P. 
Alderman, 515 Smith, High Point. North 
Carolina, ; 
Order by Number 
Ordering by number is. very import- 
ant and not only helps us but also helps 
you. When you order by number it 
makes it a lot easier for us to fill your 
orders and assures you of faster and 
better service. I know that’s the kind 
of service you all want and that’s the 
kind I want you to have. The number 
is always prominently displayed so 
you can’t miss it. 
Good Luck in Texas, Too 
“Dear Mr. Field: We formerly lived in 
Kansas where we raised all kinds of fruit, 
vegetables and flowers, Last fall I ordered 
some Tulips, Hyacinths and Jonquils from 
you. Planted them rather late and have 
had the most beautiful blooms you ever 
saw. Some people here have never even 
tried raising them. Think you will have 
some new customers here. Thanks for the 
free gifts.”—Mrs. Geo. Oaks, 819 Pime St., 
Dalhart, Texas, 
From Holland to You 
That’s the way all my Tulips, Daffo- 
dils, Hyacinths and most bulbs go out to 
you. Nothing better than Dutch bulbs 
and of course I send out only the best. 
Big sizes, too. The kind that will be sure 
to bloom BIG the first year. 
Almost Magic 
Gets eee as — ad 
“Dear Henry: We planted 3 Ibs. of your 
Tender Green beans and canned 85 qts., gave 
away about half a bushel and ate about a 
bushel while fresh, They are the most won- 
derful beans I’ve ever heard of. Almost 
magie Vd say.”—John B. Brezeale, Rt. 4, 
Greer, South Carolina.

Re 
Slips Don’t Count 
At first glance I couldn’t quite figure 
this one out either, but Amos Hubbard 
of Billings, Missouri says it’s his daugh- 
ter, Harleen, trying to get on the cow 
and that she finally made it, too. Well 
that’s a new way of transportation on 
me,
