J. STECKLER SEED CO., Ltd. 



The House that, for more than the fifty years it has 

 been in business, has clung firmly to its original idea 

 of supplying seeds of the highest grade only, gaining 

 thereby the confidence and loyal friendship of a 

 steadily increasing number of planters. » 



Seed is the foundation of the farmer's success. Without seed that will grow his 

 crops are bound to prove failures and his time and labor are wasted. 



To prevent such loss, it is to the interest of the farmer to secure seed that he 

 knows will germinate. The most certain way of doing this is to purchase only from 

 the most reliable seed house, the house that has made its reputation by years of 

 honest effort, combined with a thorough study of the business and a scientific knowl- 

 edge of what seed must be. 



The seed business is more exacting than that of any other line. No house can 

 expect to jump into it and supply its patrons with the best seed at once any more 

 than a young medical student can expect to perform successfully the most intricate 

 operation. This is the reason why the farmer, for his own interest, should purchase 

 his seed only from the house that has established its reputation. 



Service has been our motto and our reward is in the knowledge that we have 

 lived up to it. Appreciating the fact that the tiller of the soil in large or small 

 degree is a valued and useful citizen it has always been our ambition to second his 

 efforts to the best of our ability. He is a producer and our interests are mutual. 

 He may at all times rely upon our faithful and hearty co-operation. 



A great many seed planters think that a 10 to 50 cent seed order is too small 

 to send. It's not. We are glad to have your order, no matter how small, and the 

 better results in your garden make it worth while for you to send to us. Remember 

 there is no order small or large that is not welcome at STECKLER'S. 



If you don't just know what to order, tell us the size of your garden or how much 

 you want to spend — we will do the rest and we will cheerfully select suitable seeds 

 for you. 



If there is any information you want that is not given in this catalogue, write 

 us about it. We will give your inquiries our prompt and careful attention. 



Respectfully, 



J. STECKLER SEED COMPANY, LTD. 



JOSEPH STECKLER, President. 



RICHARD P. STECKLER, Secretary-Treasurer.
