Low Prices 



vs. 



Quality Seeds 



We know that it is of the utmost importance 

 today to our customers to consider most carefully 

 the question of cost on all purchases owing to 

 smaller purchasing power. However, in consider- 

 ing costs, the factor of true values should not be 

 overlooked in favor of price alone, especially so 

 in the purchase of seeds wherein their true values 

 are hidden and where one can ill afford to run 

 risks which form an inseparable part of seeds 

 bought on a basis of cheapness. 



Our constant aim and desire has always been 

 to furnish dependable seed stock and service, and 

 by this continued policy for fifty-seven years a 

 confidence has been established in Beckert's Seed 

 Store stocks that has always been among our 

 most cherished possessions. With this point in 

 mind, we offer again this season the same de- 

 pendable seed and service at fair prices as has 

 been our custom for over half a century.

Beckert's Seed Store 



Away back in 1884 our firm placed on the 

 market their first introduction, "Beckert's Brown 

 Curled Lettuce," which from the very start was 

 considered one of the best lettuces of the loose 

 leaved heading class. Other valuable introduc- 

 tions followed this Lettuce from time to time and 

 today we look with pardonable pride on the fol- 

 lowing varieties introduced by our firm.
