Visitors' Day in the Trial-Grounds 



Our trial-grounds, which we maintain for the benefit of our customers, as well as ourselves, are of ever-increasing interest to the many 

 visitors whom it is our pleasure to entertain during the summer months. Last season, besides a large number of flower-trials, we made in the 

 neighborhood of 1,000 distinct tests of many strains of vegetables. The illustration below shows a happy crowd of girls and boys looking 

 over the trials. This picture was taken at the occasion of the annual outing of the business family of Beckert's Seed Store. 



Besides affording us a chance.to study the relative merit of the different classes and kinds of vegetables and flowers, the trials also enable 

 us to judge the progress made in horticulture the world over. We do not confine ourselves to trying varieties handled by us, but we make it 

 a point to test each year the best introductions of all leading seed-growers the world over. Thus do we look out for the interest of our cus- 

 tomers who will always find us in a position to serve them with the best in seeds regardless of what it costs us to secure them.
