BECKERT'S SEED 



THIS wholesale list contains a list of such varieties of vegetables and flowers as are generally used by market -gardeners 

 and florists, and. in addition, our Specialties and New Introductions of approved merit. Of the many Novelties 

 brought to notice every year, there are but few, indeed, that possess any intrinsic 

 value. We offer only those that we find, after careful tests, are worthy of introduction.
