"THERE'S PANSIES, 



THAT'S FOR THOUGHTS" 



Tlio iiaiiu; "pansy" is deriv('d from a French word siffnlfylng a 

 tliouKlit. 



In Kn^land tlie custom Is iirevalcnt of wearing a pansy if one lias 

 a friend at the Front, and we are told that in France pansies are used 

 more than any otlier Hower to decollate solditM's' (jravcs. 



Tiiese beautiful customs of our Allies will surely spread in this 

 country, increasinfj the popu aiity of the always popular pansy. 



Prejjare now for next year's increased demand hy planting Toole's 

 Pansy seed. 



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 wants 

 of American people, have resulted in our superior strain of 

 pansy seed. 



Our aim Is to grow the kind of seeds we would like 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 ruffled and lightly fringed. 



TOOLE'S GIANT PRIZE STRAIN 



This strain contains the best pansies we know how to pro- 

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

 tains such novelties and varieties from other growers as we 

 have found worth while after careful trials. 



It will produce flowers of large size, splendid form and sub- 

 stance and in the widest range of shades and colors, racket,
