E. J. STEELE 
EK ARE all sold on the gigantic size, beauty and outstand- 
ing quality of Turner mums, King Alfred daffodils, Laddie 
Carnations, or American Beauty roses, but we do not all 
know as yet that mastodon Jumbo pansies belong in the above class 
of Floral Aristocrats! 
Ten years ago we knew its class and now thousands know be- 
cause they have seen them grow. “Seeing is believing!” As origi- 
nators of Jumbos we want vou to see them grow; preferably in our 
gardens, in your gardens, or in anybody’s gardens. Quality always 
commands attention interest and builds desire. Super quality in 
flowers is what charms the lover of flowers and creates the ambition 
to produce the best that money can buy. 
So it is that Jumbo is a “top hat” strain built up to please the 
“top hat” customer but originated by a real dirt farmer. 
Come and see them in all their glory now and if you come early 
you ll find them in bloom ahead of nearly all other strains.

Overlay manure with half inch of the best soil you have, thoroughly pulverized.

Use spray of water to moisten surface, after ight burlap cover is on. 
Allowing plenty of ventilation, keep your beds moist, quite moist, but not soaking wet, until plants come up. 
Sees 
We use cheapest grade of burlap to retain moisture. As soon 
as plants begin to come through freely we remove burlap per- 
manently, and sift tops of beds with thin layer of peat moss. To 
avoid damping off, water young seedlings VERY SPARINGLY. 
Never allow your beds to become dry. Any dryness after seeds 
sprout is absolutely fatal. These directions are for sowing in the 
open field, but will apply when using flats or cold frames. WE 
USE 125 TO 150 SQUARE FEET TO SOW AN OUNCE OF SEED 
BROADCAST. 
CAUTION — Alternate your pansy crop with some other crop. 
THE UNUSUALLY HIGH GERMINATING QUALITIES OF 
STEELE’S MASTODON PANSY SEED is a revelation to all 
extensive growers who use our stock. 
Manager 
Owing to uniformity required in producing separate colors, the 
average size 1s not equal to the types of flowers found in our mix- 
tures. We strongly advise mixtures for your main crop, and you 
save money thereby.
