Good Seeds Cannot Be Boushi Anywhere for Less 



STECKLER*S Seed House Is at Your Door 



J. J. Steckler 



The efficiency of the United States Mail and the ease of ordering from 

 the book lias practically placed our seed store at your front door. Whether 

 you wish information or seeds, you are as close to us as your mail box. 



And remember, the seed store is always the place to buy seeds, plants, 

 and bulbs. To produce, store and distribute such items has been a lifetime 

 study with us. All of our thought and facilities are devoted to giving you 

 first quality and prompt, efficient service. This is our business and not a 

 sideline, so we must give better service. 



After years of experience, we not only know best where and how to pro- 

 duce each kind of seed, but we know how to store, clean, and test seeds so 

 as to give you stock of good breeding, high vitality, and greater producing 

 qualities. Knowledge is the basis of the seed business and this unseen ele- 

 ment often controls the yield of your crops. 



Therefore, since you have an old, experienced, reliable seed store, so close, 

 so easy to reach — practically right at your front door — why not avail your- 

 self of the superior service of such an organization?
