‘ Picture of a Friendly Lady 
“Dear Sir: This is just a friendly letter 
to say how much joy and happiness I am 
getting from the shrubs, and especially 
roses, I received from you. Everything 
sent was in perfeet condition and proved 
to be all you said and more.’’—Mrs. F. M. 
Parris, Rt. 2, Blue Ridge, Ga. 
Don’t Sow Too Much Seed 
Here is some good advice. Sow your 
garden seed thinly—don’t sow too much. 
Over seeding is wasteful and requires 
thinning out plants and that’s a back- 
breaking job. For best results just follow 
the directions on the seed packet. 
Enjoyed Rose Collection 
“Dear Mr. Field: Last spring I bought a 
set of three roses (“I Pick ’Em’”) from you 
and they were the largest ones our family 
had ever seen. They bloomed continuously 
all summer. We certainly enjoyed them.’’— 
Jeanne Groscost, 191 English St., James- 
town, N. Y. 
FREE GIFTS with Your Orders 
Giving full measure plus a little extra 
has been a custom here at Field’s for a 
long, long time. We get hundreds of let- 
ters every season saying ‘‘thanks” for 
something extra. You will always get a 
free gift with your orders. The bigger the 
order, the bigger the free gift or the more 
of them. 

Wonderful Marigolds 
“Dear Mr. Field: This snapshot is of a 
clump of Marigolds 5 ft. 8 in. in height. I 
believe every seed germinated as I had so 
many plants. Everyone agreed with me 
that your seeds were wonderful to pro- 
duce plants such as these.’’—J. L. Daugh- 
erty, 6403 N.E. Union Ave., Portland, Ore. 
Can’t Beat Quality of 
“Old-Time” McIntosh Apple 
How many of you know how good the 
Mcintosh apple is? Here’s what the au- 
thority of all fruit books, the Cyclopedia 
of Hardy Fruits, by U. P. Hedrick, who 
was Horticulturist of New York Agricul- 
tural Station for years and a foremost au- 
thority of fruit, has to say about it: ‘If 
one were compelled to choose the apple 
of apples as the seasons varieties passed 
by, choosing in respect to the qualities 
which, united, gratify the greatest num- 
ber of senses, few would hesitate in nam- 
ing McIntosh sovereign of all. The fruits 
of McIntosh are uniquely beautiful, out- 
wardly and inwardly, the flavor is hardly 
surpassed, and the whole apple is most 
agreeably perfumed.” Now that language 
is sort of ‘‘school-bookish,’’ but such a 
statement coming from an authority like 
the Cyclopedia of Hardy Fruits, is some- 
thing to pay attention to. 
We here at Field’s are starting a cam- 
paign to get everybody acquainted with 
this old-time: apple, which, by the way, 
originated in Dundas County, Ontario, 
Canada, on the MeIntosh Homestead about 
1870. As you can see, this apple is no 
spring chicken. The wonderful thing 
about it is that it seems to be getting more 
popular each year, working slowly west- 
ward from the East, where it is now the 
No. 1 apple in most every state. 
If you have never sunk your teeth into 
the juicy flesh of this apple, it’s about time 
you tried it. Now don’t think that we 
have>a great surplus of McIntosh apples 
and are trying to unload them on you cus- 
tomers. 
many McIntosh as we do most other _bet- 
ter-known varieties. The fact is, we think 
you folks are really missing something 
and ought to be waking up to this partic- 
ular variety, We know its excellent qual- 
ity and we know that every single one of 
you who buys one and gets acquainted | 
with its fruit, will thank us for suggesting 
you try it. 
Prices: No. A3064S. 2 to 3 ft. 59c each, 
3 for $1.65, 5 for $2.59; 3 to 4 ft. 69c

Fire Chief Petunia — 
An All-America Winner 
At last we are 
able to offer you a 
really red petunia 
—the first and- 
only of this color. 
Its name is. Firé 
Chief. This brand 
new petunia is a 
Gold Medal winner 
and an All-Amer- 
ica Selection. It re- 
ceived more points 
than any annual 
flower has received 3 
since the All-America trials were started 
17 years ago. Quite a record, we think. 
Its outstanding feature is, of course, that 
it is the only really red petunia ever de- 
veloped. All others have lacked the glow- 
ing brilliant scarlet-red of the Fire Chief. 
It is dwarf in habit but grows erect and 
branches freely, making a compact clump 
abow 1 ft. high. Foliage is rich medium 
green. Its flowers are about 2% in. 
across, of lasting quality and velvety text- 
ure and literally cover the plant. Wonder- 
ful for borders, beds, edgings, pots and 
boxes. Believe us when we say Fire Chief 
beats them all for brilliant Spheres. -No, 
1169S. Pkt. 50c, postpaid.
