Beckert's Price List for Market-Gardener 

 and Florists for 1931 



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 entitled to wholesale rating. 



It is a strictly business catalogue. There is no room for illustrations or descriptions. 

 Those who are not familiar with the varieties we offer will find them fully and accur- 

 ately described in Beckert's General Spring Catalogue. Our market-gardeners and florist 

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



Needless to say, we have made every effort to maintain and improve where possible 

 the high standard of Quality in all we handle that Beckert's have been noted for since 

 1877. We have always specialized in the needs of market-gardeners and florists. We can 

 honestly say that for fifty-three years our satisfied customers have been our best adver- 

 tisement. Only a business that is conducted on the "Square Deal" principle throughout 

 can long survive and constantly grow, serving each year an ever-widening circle of 

 friends and customers. 



From our old patrons we solicit 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 

 everything that Beckert's sell. 



The prices in this catalogue cover cost of bags, boxes, and packing, but do not in- 

 clude transportation charges from Pittsburgh. Delivery outside of Pittsburgh will be 

 made at customer's expense.
