A Big Demand for Pansy Plants 

 is Looked for Next Spring 



It is expected that our American people will 

 follow the beautiful custom of our European allies, 

 who wear pansies to show that they have friends 

 in active service. This will mean a big demand. 



Toole's Pansy Seed is 

 Carefully Grown 



For 35 years we have been growing high qual- 

 ity Pansy Seed^ Toole's Giant Prize Strain is 



the result of our painstaking labors. The flowers 

 are large, well formed, with pronounced color 

 markings. 



Packet, 20c; Trade packet of 1000 seeds, 40c; 

 ^ ounce, 90c; % ounce, $1.25; 1 ounce, $5.00. 



This superb strain can also be supplied in 

 special separate color mixtures of Blues, Black, 

 Browns, Reds, Yellows, White, Fancy-edged Sorts 

 and Masterpiece at the same price.

i 



stead of the slower process of educa- 

 tion that would naturally precede vol- 

 untary seed control systems. 



In looking to future developments 

 in the commerce of seeds, members of 

 the American Seed Trade Association 

 would do well to carefully consider 

 whether they may be of greatest serv- 

 ice to themselves, their fellows and 

 their country by devoting their ener- 

 gies toward obstructing the natural 

 trend of the times, or, on the contrary, 

 to move in advance and help to mold 

 public opinion along lines that may 

 generally be recognized as being in tlie 

 best interests of all. 



Two Kinds of Men. 



The need for legislation to regulate 

 the commerce of seeds would probably 

 not have existed had the trade in seeds 

 been confined to persons who would 

 be accepted as members in this asso- 

 ciation. I understand that good busi- 

 ness morals is the first qualification 

 on the part of applicants for member- 

 ship. It is well to recognize, however, 

 that jobbing in the seed trade has 

 been and probably will continue to be 

 the privilege of people whose first in- 

 terest is not always the jiroi^er pro- 

 tection of agriculture. 



It was at first a source of some dis- 

 appointment and worry to me when, 

 at the commencement of our efforts to- 

 ward seed control in Canada, I seemed 

 to be unable to convince a few of our 

 good seedsmen that a proper measure 

 of seed control was as much in their 

 best interests as for the protection of 

 agriculture. After twelve years of ex-

It's al'right to say the 



world owes us a living, 



but it isn't a half bad 



idea to remember some 



of the "owing" is on our side too.

SNAPDRAGON SEED 



Time has arrived for sowing seed of 

 Snapdragon for winter blooms. Snap- 

 dragon will yield greater profit than any 

 plant you can use, and this is a year 

 when results must be reckoned with. 



Plants will be ready to bench three 

 months from sowing of seed. A dollar 

 or two invested in snap seeds will give 

 an abundance of plants equal in results 

 to a hutdred dollars invested in carna- 

 tions, roses or bulbous stock.
