num Lifetime Gates. Lifetime Gates are 
undoubtedly the finest gates made—bar 
none, Cheap to own, too—your first cost is 
your last. Made of tempered aluminum, like 
that used im large aircraft wings, Lifetime 
Gates are extremely strong, yet are light- 
weight and attractive. And they are guar-

“You were but green-sheathed buds 
A few short hours ago. 
And now you weight your slender stems 
With chalices of snow. 
I cannot touch this wondrous power, 
Nor hear, nor taste, nor see, 
But_know the moving hand of God 
Translated mystery 
Through simple alphabet of rain 
And signs of golden sun, 
Until through these familiar things 
The miracle was done.”

Free Wedding Roses 
Here’s some good news! We are again 
able to give a free rose bush to anyone 
sending in a picture of their recent wed- 
ding or Golden (50th) wedding anniver- 
sary. Had to send out peony plants last 
spring (as some of you folks know) be- 
cause of the critical rose shortage at that 
time. Looks like the shortage is over now 
and we’re indeed happy to be able to send 
out roses again. $ i 
Reason we send these roses is because 
we want people to have them as a sort 
of a personal gift from us in honor of 
their wedding or anniversary. All you 
have to do is send us a photograph and | 
tell us about it. If you don’t have a pic- 
ture send an announcement or something, 
though we would prefer a picture. Can’t 
tell you what kind of rose we’ll send but 
you can be sure it will be a good one. And 
we'll send it at the proper planting time.

The one above is 10 feet long and 52 inches 
high. Has 6 panels, weighs 46 Ibs. and sells 
for just $29.85, F.0.B. nearest shipping point. 
If you are interested in finding out more 
about: Lifetime Gates, just drop us a line, 
We'll be glad to send you complete informa- 
tion. 
No C.O.D.’s, Please 
Unfortunately, we just can’t ship C.O.D. 
There are so many delays in shipping this 
way that it isn’t practical. Nursery stock 
should be planted just as soon as possible 
after leaving here, and if it has to wait 
around to be delivered it may not do too 
well. So, this is for your own protection. 
Then too, C.O.D.’s always cause a lot of 
red tape, which in turn causes higher, 
prices. We know you folks want to buy 
things at as low a price as possible, so by 
not having C.O.D.’s, we can keep our 
prices down. 
Loves Fruits and Vegetables 
“Dear Mrs. Field: Am enclosing a pic- 
ture of our little girl who is 10 months 
old. Would like to see it in Seed Sense. 
We enjoy Seed Sense and profit by your 
planting tips. Dona Gene sure loves her 
fruit and vegetables.’’—Mrs. Elmer Pau- 
ley, Mt. Carroll, Ill.

healthy. They can’t make her any cuter, 
though.—Mrs. H.F.
