Good seed and its products — a commendable exhibit of one of Canada's largest Seed Houses 

 at the- Canadian National Exhibition, Toronto, Ont. 



The Steele, Briggs Seed Campaay staa'ted 

 in the seed business 43 years ago in a small 

 way, and have made such rapid progress 

 and have given such good satisfaction to 

 their thousands of customers throughout 

 Canada, as well as many other countries, 

 that to-day they are the largest Seedsmen 

 in Canada and one of the largest in 

 America. 



The basis of all their dealings from the 

 very beginning has been absolute reliability, 

 and they have a great many customers who 

 have been doing business with them for 

 thirty-five years. 



Recently they have established New Trial 

 Grounds at Oakville, Ont., which comprise 

 28 acres, and they have spared neither 

 money nor effort to equip the grounds in 

 the most efficient manner. There every 

 variety of vegetable, flower and field seeds 

 are given a thorough test every year; thus 

 they know their stocks and can eliminate 

 any variety not true to type or not hardy 

 in our Canadian climate. 



Mr. Arthur W. Annandale, Secretary of 

 the Steele, Briggs Seed Company, Is resi- 

 dent on the farm, and all trial work is 

 under his personal supervision. He has 

 spent his whole lifetime in the seed busi- 

 ness, in Scotland, England, U.S.A., and the 

 last 22 years with the Steele Briggs Seed 

 Company in Canada. 



Ever on the. alert, procuring and proving 

 new varieties, enlisting the hardiest and 

 ibest, keeping tstandard sorts 'Up to the 

 highest mark — this policy has made Steele, 

 Briggs Seed for purity and quality unsur- 

 passed by any In the world. 



To-day there is no settlement in Canada 

 where Steele, Briggs seeds are not known 

 as a housphoi<i word — no State in America 

 where some of their stocks are not in de- 

 mand — ^no country In Europe where tielr 

 ishipments do not go. Australia an,d New 

 Zealand call for their seeds; South America 

 gets them; South Africa and Japan. The 

 confidence accorded them by customers, 

 bankers and seed-growers in all parta of 

 the worW le a tribute to solid foundation 



principles and an earnest effort to carry 

 (them out. 



The persistent growth of their trade has 

 been something more than a mere happen^ 

 so, and the fact that they have the largest 

 establishment of its kind in Canada, and 

 one of the largest on the continent, speaks 

 for itself. 



The variety and excellence of Steele, 

 Briggs Seeds have gained for them the con- 

 fidence of many thousands of customers, 

 and they are not unmindful of the esteem 

 and confidence of those many friends whose 

 (Support and encouragement have made the 

 business wihat It is. 



Steele, Briggs assume the name of 

 "Seedsmen." This means more than 

 "Seed Dealer." The latter is usually great 

 on newspaper advertising. G-lowing 

 description of "Best ever Seeds" is the 

 magnet he depends upon. He adopts new 

 varieties as the Seedsiman proves and in- 

 troduces them. 



The Steele, Briggs Seed Company main- 

 tain that the 'business of the true Seedsman 

 should include the Testing, Proving and In- 

 troducing of new Varieties. The field for 

 this work in Canada is vast indeed. An 

 Important place for the Seedsman here is 

 hand-in-hand witli the pioneer who blazes 

 the trail past the frontier and puts his plow 

 into unknown soil— hardships and disap- 

 ipolntmenit are his, but with patience and ex- 

 perience come knowledge and success. 



Steele, Briggs' "Lion" Brand in Clover 

 and Timothy Seed has became a household 

 word throughout Canada, and as it has 

 always stood for the very highest standard 

 in Clover and Timothy, growers know that 

 when they purchase "Lion" .brand it is the 

 best obtainable. 



The firm have branches in Hamilton, Ont., 

 and Winnipeg, Man.— Advt.
