14 HENRY FIELD’S SEED 
New Aurelian Hybrid Lilies 
Reselected Strain 
No. B5000S. 
These lilies are the 
result of 20 years 
of work by Mr. 
Carlton Yerex of 
Oregon. We found 
them on his place 
last summer and 
were so overwhelmed by their beauty, 
that we urged him to let us list them 
tis spring. Mr. Yerex has just sent us 
a lot of 100 of these reselected bulbs 
and they are an improvement over the 
regular Aurelian Lilies in beauty. (Reg- 
ularly Aurelian hybrids listed on page 
33 of our spring catalog at $1.98 each.) 
The flowers have wide flaring trumpets 
as large or larger than an ordinary 
hand, and come in beautiful color com- 
binations, including the most gorgeous 
sunburst effects you can imagine. Blooms 
are 6 in. or more across and as the 
lilies grow older, they form clumps of 
magnificent blooms. Bulbs are entirely 
hardy and can be easily grown most any- 
where. In fact, these are easier to grow 
than ordinary Phlox or Chrysanthemum 
plants and will live longer, too. Just plant 
6 in. deep. These reselected hybrids have 
never before been offered on any market. 
They are being offered at $2.98 each, as 
long as they last. We must request that 
customers do not order more than two 
bulbs this year. 


New Improved Spirea Anthony 
Waterer 
Probably one of the brighest, showiest 
small shrubs we have is Spirea Anthony 
Waterer. We have developed a small stock 
ef a new Spirea, called Spirea Japonica 
Coccinea, which grows just like Anthony 
Waterer, but whose flowers are much 
brighter crimson and do not fade the way 
the flowers of Spirea Anthony Waterer do. 
We wish we had enough to entirely re- 
place Spirea Anthony Waterer in our big 
spring catalog but we don’t. So, we are 
oifering the ones we do have in this issue 
of Seed Sense. For those of you who are 
not familiar with Spirea Anthony Water- 
er, it grows about 2 ft. high and gets al- 
most as broad. During the summer, the 
top of the plant is covered with flat heads 
of brilliant red flowers which make a very 
bright showing. Leaves are small and 
ferny. This is one of the most satisfactory 
of all small shrubs and is very useful for 
home planting. No. A1497S. Price: 59c 
each, postpaid. 
Climbing Tomato 
Here is a tomato the neighbors will 
want to look at for sure. It will grow 10 
to 18 ft. tall and 
often yields 2 to 3 
bushels of toma- 
toes on one vine. 
The tomatoes are 
good, too. Big, 
meaty and have a 
small seed cavity. 
Fine for slicing. 
Because it is such 
a shy seeder, we 
have only a little 
seed to offer this 
year. No. 4380S. 
Pkt. 25c, postpaid.

Grow Your Own Cherry Pies 
Most everyone seems to want a couple 
of pie cherry trees, and no wonder. They 
are easy to grow and take little care. 
Trees never grow so tall but what most of 
the fruit can be picked from the ground. 
They grow most anywhere and bear so 
abundantly you can eat out of hand, can, 
or make pies to your heart’s content. 
Here’s an offer of two leading varieties: 
1 New Montmore (McClain) Cherry and 
1 Early Richmond Cherry. Both are 344 
to 5 ft. size trees. Plus Free Gift of 1 
Nanking Bush Cherry. 
The New Montmore is a great improve- 
ment on the well-known old Montmorency. 
Cherries are larger, darker and better fla- 
vored. Because the cherries about dou- 
.ble their size the last week before ma- 
turing, they should not be picked until 
they begin to turn a blackish red. Here 
is part of a letter written by G. M. Bent- 
ley, former head of Department of En- 
tomology, University of Tennessee, and 
State Entomologist, about the New Mont- 
more: 
“In the season of 1948 from an eight- 
year-old tree the yield was three bushels, 
all a deep red color and larger size than 
the ordinary Montmorency. ...I have no- 
ticed the following in regard to this vari- 
ety of cherry: They are unusually vigor- 
ous growing trees. They begin blossoming 
and yielding as two-year-old trees. I have 
noticed there is very little cherry leaf 
spot on this variety. ... I am looking 
forward to the time that I may have a 
sizable planting of the McClain’s (Mont- 
more) Cherry.” 
So, as you can see, this McClain’s, or 
New Montmore as we call it, is certainly 
an outstanding cherry. It’s one that will 
be of constant pleasure to you year after 
year. 
The other variety in this offer, the 
Early Richmond, is one of the leading va- 
rieties that comes into bearing around 
Shenandoah about the last of May. A pop- 
ular cherry, this one, too, will give you 
years of enjoyment. 
The FREE GIFT, the Nanking Bush 
Cherry, is very popular. Its cherries make 
good eating and the plant is a beautiful 
ornamental shrub. Actually, this free gift 
is just a teaser. We know after you see 
it, you’ll want a dozen or so more. 
No. A2718XS. 1 New Montmore and 1 
Early Richmond. Plus free gift of 1 Nan- 
king Bush Cherry. All for only ‘$2.98, ex- 
press not prepaid.
