Burgess’ Hardy Vegetable Seeds 
are the Best for AH Climates 
The home-gardener and the commercial grower will find in our Vegetable Seed Department a list of the most dependable 
varieties—the best of both the old and new sorts. We do not offer as many varieties as some seedsmen, as we weed out the 
less desirable sorts, and offer only the best. We have endeavored to make selection easy by describing accurately and tell¬ 
ing both the advantages and disadvantages of each sort. 
The best test of a seed is the crop it produces. Burgess’ Hardy Michigan Seeds have no superior. 
We are supplying many of the most critical market-gardeners, in every State in the Union, with the best and purest strains 
of Vegetable Seeds. The steady increase in our market-garden trade each year, and the fact that the gardeners who began 
buying from us when we first started in business are still numbered among our best customers, is the best evidence that our 
seeds give satisfaction. 
WHITE GOLD 
The Best Early Potato 
Ever Introduced 
Potato Eyes by Mail 
Thousands of our customers who want to grow a few of our 
White Gold Potatoes this year, will probably hesitate ordering 
on account of high express charges on a peck or bushel of seed. 
For the benefit of our customers who want to get a start with 
this most excellent of all potatoes, we are furnishing good sound 
potato eyes by mail. These eyes are carefully packed and we 
warrant them to arrive in good growing condition, no matter how 
far away. Remember, the potato eyes are sent postpaid. This 
is your opportunity to get a start with this wonderful potato. 
60 eyes should produce a bushel or more of good potatoes. Some 
claim 3 to 5 bushels from sixty eyes, and one customer in 
Alaska reports 350 lbs. from 30 eyes. 
Orders for the South can be sent at any time during the win¬ 
ter with perfect safety. Orders for the North and West can be 
sent whenever the customer desires them. When ordering Potato 
Eyes, be sure to give the date you want us to ship them to you, 
as eyes keep in good condition only 2 to 3 weeks after cutting. 
Ten Days Earlier Than Any Other White 
Potato 
White Gold is by far the earliest white Potato, which enables 
the grower to get on the market when prices are high. It is 
also a profitable main crop sort, due to its big yield and fine ap¬ 
pearance and quality. 
White Gold has the size and shape of the Green Mountain, 
though the eyes are shallow and it is slightly netted in appear¬ 
ance. The yields compare favorably with late varieties such as 
Rural New Yorker and Carman. The outstanding feature, how¬ 
ever, is its earliness, for here is a white Potato of good size 
and appearance, a big yielder, and ten days earlier than Irish 
Cobbler, Early Ohio or Bliss Triumph. It is also a good winter 
keeper and of splendid cooking quality. Naturally the price of 
seed of this new variety is somewhat higher than ordinary varie¬ 
ties, but it is worth many times the difference in cost, as grow¬ 
ers will derive greater profits because of its earliness.
