: New Merion (B-27) Bluegrass 
5 Henry Field’s offer you the new Meri- 
on Kentucky Bluegrass, released this fall 
for the first time for home planting. 
Twelve years of testing is behind this 
new, better strain. 
Absolutely the latest thing in Blue- 
grass, Merion has a dense, dark green 
turf of extra vigorous growth. It spreads 
rapidly, crowding out Crabgrass and oth- 
er weeds. Actual tests have proved this. 
} Other advantages of Merion are: (1) it 
has better color and appearance; (2) is 
more heat and drouth resistant; (3) has 
high resistance to leaf spot, making it 
possible to mow it closer than regular 
Bluegrass. Then too, because the plants 
are more healthy and spread faster, you 
use less seed when planting. On reseed- 
ing lawns, figure a pound to 600 to 800 
sq. feet. 
If you want the finest, greenest, most 
luxuriant lawn you can possibly have, be 
sure to sow this new Merion (B-27) Blue- 
grass. Our supply of seed is very limited, 
| but while it lasts we are selling it for. 
" 2.10 per half pound, 3.95 per pound, post- 
paid. Orders must be limited to not more 
than 5 pounds per customer,

Lot Hardy Grimm Alfalfa 
Our Lot Hardy is strictly northern 
grown Grimm Alfalfa. It’s fancy quality 
Alfalfa at a saving in price. This lot-of 
northern grown seed is fully 97% pure— 
free of: bad weeds. Don’t worry about 
winter hardiness on this fine lot of 
Grimm, as the long branching roots help 
prevent winter heaving. The color is not 
as bright as our top quality, but the value 
and hardiness is there. We sold more of 
this lot last spring than any other Alfal- 
fa. Because of the Alfalfa shortage, we 
suggest you order this early as the sup- 
ply is very limited. 
If a penny saved is a penny earned, you 
earn lots of pennies by ordering DIRECT 
FROM HENRY FIELD. 
Certified Buffalo Alfalfa. 
Buffalo alfalfa is the new, extra leafy, 
wilt resistant alfalfa. It is ideal for Iowa, 
Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska; Illinois and 
other midwestern states because it is 
highly resistant to wilt that causes hay 
losses and death of alfalfa plants through- 
out so many areas of the Middle West. 
And it’s a heavy yielder of fine stemmed | 
hay. Recovers quickly after cutting, too. 
Buffalo is winter hardy, coming from 
parents of hardy strains. Seed cost is a 
little higher than regular strains of alfalfa 
but is more than worth the difference be- 
cause of its many advantages. Ask your 
state college or county agent. Be sure 
to plant Buffalo this fall. We suggest you 
get your order in early as demand for it 
will be heavy. Certified, Blue Tag seed in 
sealed bushel bags. 
Plant Ladino Clover 
Ladino will produce up to twice as 
much protein as other legumes. Ladino 
Clover pasture can carry up to a cow and 
a-half per acre, and other livestock in 
proportion. Primarily, Ladino is a pas- 
ture crop, rich in lime and phosphorus 
and a high milk producer. 
Don’t let the price scare you. One 
pound of Ladino Clover contains approxi- 
mately 680,000 seeds and planted in your 
pasture at the rate of one pound per acre, 
will equal 15 seeds per square foot. Ladi- 
no will give you the most complete live- 
stock. and poultry pasture at the lowest 
cost of any legume crop you can plant, 
regardless of the first cost of the seed. 
This perennial lives over from year to 
year, is widely adapted, and suited to the 
same soils and climate as regular clover.
