Extra Good Luck 
“Dear Mr. Field: Enjoy your Seed 
Sense and catalog a lot. We bought 
Austra White chicks from you and had 
extra good luck with them. Am enclos- 
ing a snapshot of my two grandsons, 
Arlis and Kenneth, holding an Austra 
White rooster. Hope to. see it in your 
Seed Sense sometime.’’—Mrs. E. F. 
Creed, Box 156, South Haven, Kansas. 
Hardy Amaryllis or 
Magic Lily 
BAN-14—Have been trying to work up 
a stock of these rare hardy bulbs for a 
long time but it’s been a slow job. They 
don’t multiply very fast and I’ve just 
managed to pick up a few here and 
there to get started. You all probably 
have seen this marvelous plant. In the 
spring a bunch of leaves come up like 
a cluster of Daffodil leaves. In early 
summer these leaves die down and a 
short time later out of the bare ground 
there pop some stems that quickly shoot 
up to two feet and on the tops of these 
stems several large lilac-pink lily blos- 
soms form that are beautiful to see. 
As long as they last, large flowering 
sized bulbs, $1.00 each; 3 for $2.75, 
postpaid. 
How I Ship to You 
Every year there are a few custom- 
ers who write in wondering when their 
order is going to come. Probably you 
received part of it and just think we 
have forgotten the rest. We haven’t. 
Sometimes, of course, we make mis- 
takes, but not often. What happens is 
that the order is split_up according to 
when the nursery should be planted. 
Take a fall order, for instance. Let’s 
say the order called for Tulips, Orien- 
tal Poppies, Iris, and some flowering 
shrubs and trees. We’d divide such an 
order up into three different shipping 
dates. We’d mail the Oriental Poppies 
and Iris in August, the Tulips in late 
September or October and the trees 
and shrubs in late October or even 
November, depending on the season 
when stock was in best condition for 
you. So don’t worry about your order 
if everything doesn’t come in one pack- 
age. Look over the papers in the order 
carefully. They’ll tell you about it. And 
anyway, you can depend on Henry 
Field to send good stock, on time, and 
at a fair price. 
HENRY FIELD’S SEED SENSE FOR FALL, 1948—Henry Field Seed & Nursery Co., Shena 
Don’t Use Sawdust for Mulch 
Those of you who are close enough 
to Shenandoah to hear my talks on the 
radio know that last winter we had a 
lot of discussion on using sawdust fer 
mulch. Somehow the idea got to circu- 
lating and some of my friends wanted 
to know what I thought. So I asked 
my listeners who had tried it to tell 
me what they had found out. Well, the 
consensus was that it too often hurt 
the plants. The idea sounds good, but 
apparently there is something in the 
sawdust that hurts a lot of things. 
My Nursery Guarantee 
My nursery stock is of the heaviest 
quality, free from disease, all state 
inspected, and first-class in every way 
or I don’t send it out. That’s why I 
can guarantee it. I also guarantee my 
stock to be absolutely true to name, 
If it proves otherwise, you can have 
your choice of replacement free or a 
full refund on the entire purchase 
price, 
If you are not pleased in every way 
with my nursery stock when you re- 
ceive it, return it promptly at my ex- 
pense and I will replace it at once 
or refund your money, as you prefer. 
I guarantee it to reach you in first- 
class live, growing condition, After 
you have planted it, if it fails to 
grow, I think we ought to divide 
up on the blame. Vil take one-half 
and you and the weather take the 
other, and V’ll replace at half price 
anything unsatisfactory through any 
fault of the stock. Fair enough, don’t 
you think?
