Correct Price of Vigoro 
An error was made on the price of 25 
lbs. of Vigoro Fertilizer in our Spring 
Catalog. On page 50 of the Catalog, 25 
lbs. of Vigoro is listed at $1.00. The cor- 
rect price, however, is $1.60 for 25 Ibs. 
The other prices on Vigoro are all right. 
Brags About Sweet Corn 
“Hello Henry: Henry, I’ve just got to 
brag about the 4 Ibs. of sweet corn I got 
from you last year. I canned 150 qts. My 
husband also fed two bushels a day to the 
hogs, so I can’t, even guess how much it 
made. I sure want 4 Ibs. more this year!’— 
Mrs. Paul Campbell, Rt. 1, Centerville, Iowa.

: 3 Good Ways 
to Save Money 
U6 
1. SPECIAL FLATS are graded 
perfectly and plant easily and uni- 
formly. You save because a bushel 
of Special Flats contains more ker- 
nels of corn than Large Flats. Plant. 
12%-20% more acreage. Saves you 
over 50c an acre. 
\ 
2. ROUNDS are as regularly graded 
as flats and plant just as uniformly 
with a round plate. They also stand 
colder weather. Have same breeding 
as flats and give as good or better 
crop. They save up to $3.35 per 
bushel on your seed corn. 
3. BLENDS are scientifically blend- 
_jed of many different adapted varie- 
ties so as to lengthen the pollen sea- 
son, thereby insuring a good set 
despite the weather. Over a period 
of years, United Blends will out- 
produce any single hybrid. They

12 Ft. Hybrid So. American 
Popcorn 
“Dear Mr. Field: Here is a-picture of 
myself with the popcorn I raised from 
your Hybrid South American popcorn 
seed. Many of the stalks were 12 feet

really is good eating!’’—Ross K. Har-

New Carnation-Flowered - 
Dwarf Pomegranate 
One of our men was down in Tennessee 
recently and was struck with the beauty 
of this new plant and brought some back. 
So, we now have stock to offer folks living 
in the area from middle Missouri south. 
The plant is a very showy small shrub, 
growing only 3 to 4 ft. high, with shiny 
bronze-green, almost evergreen foliage. 
And the tips of the branches have large 
scarlet, double carnation-like flowers on 
them most of the time. The flowers are 
followed with big attractive red fruit. This 
|is a much larger flowered, improved strain 
of the older pomegranate usually sold. It 
may lose its leaves for a short time during 
the winter but quickly regains them. Likes 
full sun, grows well in cultivated soil or 
in desert regions. You folks in dry areas 
should really appreciate this new low- 
growing shrub for that reason. No.
