16 HENRY FIELD'S SEED SENSE FOR AUGUST, 1952—Henry Field Seed & Nursery Co., Shenandoah, Iowa. 
Ready to Make Another 
H.F. Garden 
‘Dear Mrs. Field: I am enclosing a pic- 
ture of my son, David Eric, and his grand- 
pa, getting ready to make another Henry 
Field garden. We always have a good 
garden with Field’s seeds. We especially 
enjoy the popcorn and sweet corn.’’—Mrs. 
J. L. Crumley, Rt. 3, Richland, Mo. 
To carry care to bed is to sleep with a 
pack on your back. 
How We Ship to You 
If some of you folks who have sent in 
large orders don’t get everything at the 
same time, it probably is because we have 
split up your order according to when dif- 
ferent items should be planted. Orders 
are filled when stock is in best condition 
and during proper planting time. Seeds 
and non-perishable goods are sent imme- 
diately. But perennials, house plants, 
evergreens, bulbs, ete., are sent in sepa- 
rate packages, even when sent the same 
day as the rest of your order. 
So you needn’t worry if you don’t get 
everything at once. ‘ Just read the papers 
that come inside the package. They will 
give you full details. 
“Green Thumb” Phlox

of Deanna Fraser,

front of a big red 
phlox. Her mother, 
Mrs. Clara Fraser, 
639 S. Snyder, Fre- 
mont, Nebr., says 
she got the phloxin 
one of our “Green 
Thumb” perennial 
collections andthat 
it grew into a truly 
beautiful plant.
