Pansies for Profit 



Tliere Is an enormous demand for pansy plants, as you know. Good 

 pansies bring a profitable price and it is profit you are in business for. 



To firrow good pansies you must first liave good seed; seed from a 

 carefully selected Strain such as you can buy of Toole & Sou. Then of 

 course you must grow them carefully. .. ^ 



Our part Is to furnish a carefully selected strain of pansy seed, strong 

 in germination, which we do. 



Your part is to grow them carefully, and fully as important ask a 

 price for them that will leave you a profit. 



William Toole & Son are pioneers In the raising ol 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.
