HAVE YOU BOUGHT 



YOUR PANSY SEED? 



In the past a large per cent of the pansy seed has come from 

 Germany. This source Is now cut off. 



You need not worry about this very important Item, as there 

 are several firms in the United States that are growing pansy 

 seed equal and superior to any foreign grown seed. 



The firm of William Toole & Son is one of these. 



We are just starting ta harvest what promises to be the 

 largest and finest crop of pansy seed Wm. Toole & Son have 

 ever grown. 



William Toole & Son are pioneers in the raising of pansy 

 seed in America. 



Thlrty-flve years' experience In selecting, breeding, studying, 

 and growing pansy seed and plants especially to suit the wanti 

 of American people, have resulted in our superior strain of 

 pansy seed. 



Our aim is to grow the kind of seeds we would lllie to buy 

 ourselves. 



Our endeavor is to combine a wide range of bright and 

 pleasing colors with large size flowers, heavy substance of 

 petals, together with an attractive round flower, many of 

 which are ruflled and lightly fringed.

 duce. Besides colors and shades of our own selection it con-
