= | “PLANT IT ONLY IF IT DOES WELL IN TEXAS!” 
\ We Texans have a lot to be thankful for . . . a versatile, pro- 
lific earth, for one, and a green-thumbed climate which helps 
| all planted things grow just a little bigger and a little better 
than the average. But this lovely old dirt of ours is a 
bit choosey and won’t take everything to its bosom to 
teach the little growing tricks it takes to make sturdy, 
vigorous stems and vines and lovely blooms and per- 
fect fruit. No, podner, this Texas soil of ours has 
chosen only a few of the best varieties of vegetable, 
flower and grass seeds to raise and years of experi- 
ence and field trials have proven its wisdom. For this 
reason Staffel’s lists nothing in this catalog which we 
know will! not do well in this section without the benefit 
of special, painstaking care. It’s written for the com- 
mercial grower who expects a profit for his labor, the 
average home gardener who wants to see good crops 
and lovely flowers come harvest time and the pro- 
fessional gardener whose economic existence de- 
pends on the quality of his fruit. Sure... we run a 
short listing in both flowers and vegetables, but bear 
in mind that you can buy everything listed without 
asking, “WILL IT DO WELL IN TEXAS?”
