Caution! Read Carefully 
Due to the fact that we are unable to meet the present and anticipated 
demand for our pansy seed we offer the following suggestions to make our 
limited stock go as far as possible. 
Our perfect climate makes possible seal-tipped seed, capable of maintain- 
ing maximum viability if stored properly. 
You should buy only the amount you require for planting this year 
and if extra precautions are taken during hot spells you can be assured of 
a heavy germination. Do not use disinfectants that are not recommended 
especially for pansy seed. Copper oxide is best for this purpose and Semesan 
is satisfactory. 




E. J. STEELE 
If you plan to make several plantings this year, tell us when and we 
will ship your seed to reach you at the proper time. Hot climates are not 
safe to store pansy seed unless kept under mild refrigeration. 
Read our directions over twice and then again. We cannot emphasize 
too strongly the importance of caution in germinating your seed this year 
to get the most possible seedlings from the minimum quantity of seed. 
Each and every strain listed is a genuine ‘“Steele’s Mastodon.”
