Beckert's Wholesale Catalogue for 1927 



is intended for the use of market-gardeners, florists and commercial 

 growers only. For their own protection, as well as ours, we ask them 

 to see that it does not fall into the hands of those who are not en- 

 titled to wholesale rating. 



It is a strictly business catalogue. There is no room for illustra- 

 tions or descriptions. Those who are not familiar with the varieties 

 we offer will find them fully and accurately described in Beckert's 

 General Spring Catalogue — our retail price-list — a copy of which 

 we mail to every customer, retail and wholesale. Our wholesale 

 customers, however, should order at the lower prices given in this 

 list. 



Needless to say, we have made every effort to maintain and im- 

 prove where possible the high standard of QuaHty in all we handle 

 that Beckert's have been noted for since 1877. We have always 

 speciahzed in the needs of market-gardeners and florists. We can 

 honestly say that for fifty years our satisfied customers have 

 been our best advertisement. Only a business that is conducted on 

 the "Square Deal" principle throughout can long survive and con- 

 stantly grow, serving each year an ever-widening circle of friends and 

 customers. 



From our old patrons we soHcit a continuance of their patronage, 

 assuring them that our service in the future will be of the same high 

 class as it has been in the past. To those who have never purchased 

 from us we say, give us a trial, knowing that a fair trial has never 

 failed to convince a critical buyer that he can absolutely depend on 

 anything that Beckert's sell. 



The prices in this catalogue cover cost of bags, boxes, and packing, 

 but do not include transportation charges from Pittsburgh. De- 

 hvery outside of Pittsburgh will be made at customer's expense. 



If goods are wanted by parcel post, an amount sufficient to 

 cover postage charges must be added to the order. A complete table 

 of Parcel-Post Rates is given on the inside back cover of this cata- 

 logue. Fluids and poisons are not mailable. 



Our terms are Cash with Order, except to customers who are 

 personally known to us or have an approved credit rating. 



C. O. D. shipments may be made by express (not by freight) if 

 an amount sufficient to cover express charges and guarantee accep- 

 tance upon arrival accompanies the order. Small shipments may 

 be made by parcel post, C. 0. D. Under no circumstances will we 

 ship perishable goods, such as bulbs, onion sets, etc., C. O. D. 



l^lease help us to fill and ship your orders accurately and with 

 all possible dispatch, by noting carefully the following instructions:
