2 HENRY FIELD’S SEED SENSE. FOR MARCH, 1950—Henry Field Seed & Nursery Co., Shenandoah, Towa — 


Look at Those Smiles! 
“Dear Mr. Field: I am sending a pic- 
ture of our two little girls, Beverly and 
Joann, with the pumpkins they raised 
from one plant. They were so proud of 
everything they raised from your seed. 
We’ve been using your seeds ever since 
we married and like them a lot.’’—Mrs. 
A. James Martin, Smithsburg, Md. 


Never Saw Such Potatoes 
“Dear Sirs: I am enclosing a picture of 
us and the sweet potatoes we raised from 
your plants. You never saw such vines. 
We got 6 bu. altogether and only 3 or 4 
plants died. The largest potato weighed 
a little over 2% lbs.”—Mrs. Howard 
Mikesell, Culver, Ind. 

Junior Seedsman 
“Dear Mr. Field: 
I sold 24 Junior 
Seedsman collec- 
tions this year. It 
was the first time I 
have sold your 
seeds, but I knew 
how to sell because 
I had sold tickets 
for our pie supper. 
Iam planting your 
carrots.as a 4-H 
project.’* — Rich- 
ard Wescott, Jas- 
per, Missouri. 



Regal Lilies Did Well 
“Dear Mr. Field: Enclosed find a pic- 
ture of Regal Lilies grown from bulbs 
ordered from you. They really did well. 
There were as many as 32 flowers on one 
stalk. We enjoyed them a lot.’’—Mr. 
Harry C. Dierker, Concordia, Mo. 

Letter from Canada 
“Dear Mr. Field: When we visited in Iowa 
I brought back some of your seeds. The 
Kentucky Wonder Beans certainly did well 
—pods grew from 10 to 14 inches long. An- 
other bean, I can’t recall its name, was an- 
other great yielder. The corn was hit by 
frost, but the asters and zinnias were beau- 
tiful till late fall.”—Mrs. Omar F. Crabb, 
Rouleau, Sask., Canada. 


Load of i. F. Banking 

“Dear Mr. Field: Here is a picture of 
our children with a load of pumpkins we 
raised from Henry Field seed. Kenneth 
is 6, Irene is 9, and Gean is 7. We always 
get our garden seed from you because we 
know we'll get the best.’,—Mr. and Mrs. 
Joe Hasenfratz, Rt. 3, Marion, Kansas. 
Henry Field’s Premiums a Hit! 
Hundreds and hundreds of our good 
customers are saving money by buying 
Henry Field’s Premiums with their regu- 
lar merchandise. If you haven’t read 
about this plan, turn to page 24 of our 
big Spring Catalog and get full details and | 
look over the different premiums. 
As you can see, these premiums are all 
high quality, well known merchandise. 
No junk. No coupons involved, either. The 
best thing about the plan is that you get 
these premiums at almost half-price—in 
Some cases less than half price. Reason 
we can offer them at such low price is 
because we buy direct from the manufac- 
turers in large quantities and pass the 
saving on to you. 
Here, in short, is how the plan works: 
Say for example you want to buy the West 
Bend Waterless Cooker. It has a regular 
retail value of $7.95, but will cost you 
only $4.83 with a regular order for seeds, 
nursery stock, ete., for $4.83 or more. 
That’s all there is to it. You just buy an 
equal amount of anything listed in our 
catalog. The Premiums are sent postpaid 
* on a money-back guarantee basis.

Looks from here as if someone was 
heading for a fall. Emil Schank, Rt. 2, 
Savannah, Missouri, sends this picture of 
his 7-year-old son, Dorrell. 
now, though. 
Just Had to Write 
a . oe 
“Dear Henry Field: Just had to write a 
few lines to let you know how pleased we 
are with the seed and nursery stock we or- 
dered from you. Your seeds are the nicest 
we have ever seen. 
awfully nice, too.’—Mrs. Roy Briscoe, IE 
3955 Nercross Rd., Tucker, Georgia. 

Two Magnificent New Hardy 
Asters 
These Asters are pictured in our big 
1950 spring catalog on page 31, but didn’t 
have much room so the pictures don’t 
really show their true beauty. We have 
grown lots of hardy Asters but never 
have we seen any with flowers as big and 
beautiful as these two new varieties— 
Peace and Plenty. 
Peace. No. B1022S. We have tested this 
grand new English variety, had it in 
bloom here last year and are convinced 
it outclasses any blue Hardy Aster in both 
size and beauty that we have ever seen. 
Flowers are immense—the largest blue 
Aster ever grown at Henry Field’s, and 
the clear sky-blue petals are spoon- 
shaped, giving a distinctive beauty to its 
blooms. Blossoms are semi-double, about 

2 in. across and are produced in great 
quantites. Blooms in early September and 
lasts well into October. Plants grow 3 to 
4 ft. high. Makes a beautiful ornamental 
in the garden and also furnishes abundant ~ 
flowers for cutting.

Price: 65c each; 3 

We bet that — 
Dorrell is getting pretty used to falls Ea

Plenty. No. B1023S. A bright lavender. - 
A sister to Peace and is just as beautiful 
in every way. Huge semi-double 2 in. 
blossoms are borne in great profusion in 
September and early October. As the 
plants grow 3 to 4 ft: high, they will add 
a great deal of color to any garden. You 
just can’t go wrong with this. Price: 65c 
each; 3 for $1.65, postpaid. 
No. B3000XS. Collection of two each 
of the above Asters for just $1.98, post- 
paid.
