Want Own Garden 

“Dear Mr. Field: I’m enclosing a pic- 
ture of Hubert and Herbert, our 7 yr. 
old twins. They want to raise their own 
garden this year. Don’t think there is 
anything better for a child than to raise 
his own garden and flowers.’’—Mrs. Herb 
Toenjis, Daytons Bluff Sta., Rt: 4, St. 
Paul 6, Minnesota. 
I certainly agree, Mrs. Toenjis. H.F. 


20 Yr. Customer 

“Dear Mr. Field: Have been a steady 
customer of yours for 20 yrs. I’m en- 
closing a snapshot of myself and some of 
the wonderful squash I raised from your 
seed this year. Really have some won- 
derful strawberries, too.’’—Mrs. S. E. 
Fasnacht, Box 110, Diller, Nebraska. 
12 Ft. Sunflower 
“Dear Mr. Field: 
This is our 3 yr. 
old son, Timothy 
Dean, holding the 
head of a large 
sunflower raised 
from your seed. It 
measured 18 in. 
after it was dried, 
so don’t know 
what it would have 
measured before it 
shrank. They grew 
better than 12 ft. 
tall. All our fruit 
trees are doing 
fine. The flowers 
were beautiful.’’— 
Mrs. Paul Eells, Rt. 1, Wilder, 




Idaho. 
Time Out for Lunch 
“Dear Mr. Field: I’m sending you this 
picture of my grandchildren, Barbara, 
age 5, Gale, age 4, and Morris, age 3, 
feeding their pet pigs. I always order 
my seeds from you and am always well 
satisfied.’”’—-Mrs. Nettie Kessinger, Fre- 
mont, Missouri. 

Green Thumb Saves Violet 
“Dear Mr. Field: Want to thank you for 
the sample of Green Thumb Plant Feod you 
sent to me. I had a 3 yx. old African Violet 
which I was about to throw away as- it 
wouldn’t bloom. I put a teaspoon of the 
Green Thumb in a saucer with water and in 

about 2 weeks it was blooming. Thanks, 
very much.’’—Mrs. Hackley, 1214 Walter 
Avenue, Louisville, Kentucky. 
She’s writing about the Green Thumb 
Plant Food I tell about on 
Spring catalog.

Likes Fair Deal & Quality 
“Dear Mr. Field: Have ordered your 
seeds and nursery stock the past 2 yrs. 
and have been well pleased with the fair 
way you deal and the quality. We cer- 
tainly raised an abundance of crops from 
your seeds. Am enclosing a picture of 
our son, Bobby, and some of the water- 
melons, muskmelons, pumpkins and 
squash grown from your seed. The large 
one he has in his hand is a Banana musk- 
melon which was 26 in. long.’’ —Mr. 
Everett Corwin, Osborne, Kansas. 

My Nursery Guarantee 
Yes, I guarantee all my nursery stock 
and the following are some of the reasons 

why I do: 
(1) My nursery stock is all state in- 
spected. 
(2) Free from disease. 
(3) Of the heaviest quality. 
(4) First-class in every way. 
(5) True to name. 
If you are not absolutely pleased with 
“my nursery stock when you receive it, 
return it promptly at my expense and I 
will replace it or refund your money, 
whichever you wish. I guarantee it to ar- 
rive in first-class, live-growing condition. 
If, after it is planted, it fails to grow, I 
think we should divide the blame. I'll 
take one-half and you and the weather 
the other half, and I’ll replace at half 
price anything unsatisfactory through any 
fault of the stock. Fair enough, don’t 
you think?

Good Crops from Plants 
“Dear Henry: Have been ordering a little 
stock of different kinds from you and will 
Say everything has done just the best. Had 
a wonderful crop of large sweet potatoes 
from your plants. Received way more cab- 

bage plants than I ordered and I know it is 
safe to say every plant made a nice solid 
head of cabbage.”—R. 
Elmwood, Nebraska.

16 Blooms—1 Stalk 
Mrs. Walter Hand, Rt. 1, Washington, 
Indiana, sends this picture of herself and 
her Regal Lily. She says, ‘‘I bought the 
bulb from you 2 or 3 yrs. ago. It had 16 
large blooms on one stalk. A real 
beauty.” 


Amazed at Hedge Growth 
“Dear Henry: This spring I ordered your 
Chinese Elm for hedge. Every plant lived 
and never have I seen anything grow like 
this hedge. Vm 100% satisfied with every- 
thing received from you.”—Ralph N. Smith, 
504 Harrison, Goshen, Indiana. 

90” Caladium 

“Dear Sir: Am sending you a picture 
of myself with a Caladium I ordered from 
you last spring. It is 90 in. high and the 
largest leaf measures 47 x 35. It is cer- 
tainly a beauty. The Climbing Cucumber 
and Heavenly Blue Morning Glory were 
fine. Enjoy Seed Sense very much.’’— 
Mrs. R. L. Carrall, 310 E. 8th St., Paws 
huska, Oklahoma.
