INTRODUCTION 



To our Friends and Customers: 



It gives us great pleasure to announce that we begin our twelfth year 

 in our new store, "THE STECKLER BUILDING." 



For eleven years we have enjoyed the good will of the Southern 

 planters and the public and the liberal patronage and many testimonials which 

 have been showered on us attests to the value of STECKLER QUALITY. 



While we are the "Oldest Seed House in the South," we are always 

 watchful of the best interests of our patrons, and in our new location with our 

 present facilities we are the "Newest Seed House in the South." 



Being the Largest Mail Order Seed House in the South, we send 

 our Catalogue out with the full assurance that there is no misrepresentation, 

 it is worthy of a careful consideration and tells the plain truth. We can give 

 you the best service, and while our seeds may sometimes cost a little more 

 they are worth much more. 



Remember Steckler's Seeds are Best* 

 Best Seeds Always Grow* 



We always appreciate a visit from our patrons and invite them when 

 in the city to call at our new store and make same their headquarters. 



With heartfelt thanks for the many evidences of friendship and cour- 

 tesy extended us during past years and hoping the same spirit may continue, 



we are, 



Very truly yours, 



J. STECKLER SEED CO., Ltd.
