THE SOUTH'S LEADING SEEDSMEN 



SINCE 1865 



It was in 1865 that Richard Frotscher began 

 to distribute to the people of the South, pure 

 selected seeds and plants, grown on Southern soil 

 under Southern skies and Southern conditions. 



The marked superiority of these seeds and 

 plants for Southern growing was instantly recog- 

 nized. Success was immediate and orders began 

 -^Mrrrii^^^ to pour in. 



In 1896, so extensive had become the op^a- 



The Trade Mark tions of the business, it was found necessary to 



Quality in Seeds reorganize and the J. STECKLER SEED CO., 



Ltd., was incorporated. 



Since that time, adhering strictly to the principles of purchasing 



and selection originated by the "Veteran Seedsman of the South," 



there has been a continuous, steady increase in the business until 



now. Actually thousands of the South's most successful growers 



are buying their seeds from us, exclusively, while as many more 



are getting such valuable results from STECKLER SEEDS they 



have used that they are fast approaching the class of 100% users. 



This record of achievement is the result of two things — 



( 1 ) TTie sale of only the most carefully selected seeds and plants, 



grown under conditions most favorable to sturdy reproduction, and 



(2) A constant study of the requirements of our customers and 



our eagerness to meet these requirements with the most cheerful, 



painstaking, efficient service. 



Relying on your keen appreciation of the importance to you 

 of these two factors in the success of your crops, we solicit your 

 patronage and assure you of our hearty co-operation at all times.
