Iceland Poppy ^‘Empress^ 
This remarkable new giant flowered 
Iceland Poppy is excellent for cutting 
and delightful in the garden. The 
flowers are very large and well formed, with 
deeply fluted or wrinkled petals. In color it is 
unique, lovely shades of salmon-rose and pink 
never before seen in Iceland Poppies. A hardy 
perennial which starts blooming with the early 
Tulips in the spring and continues throughout 
the summer and fall. Blooms the first year 
from seed. Pkt., 20c. 
DELPHINIUM 
COLLECTION 
6 PLANTS $1.00 
We have a surplus this year of 
several types and varieties of Del¬ 
phinium plants. We will make up

All are field grown plants that have 
already bloomed in our nursery. 
Sweet-Scented Marigold 
Gigantea Sunset Giants 
The largest flowered Marigold 
ever produced, averaging 5 inches, 
and some flowers attaining a size of 7M inches. But most remark¬ 
able, instead of the usual Marigold odor the flowers have a definitely 
sweet fragrance, a feature which places them among the outstanding 
novelties of the 1937 season. Sunset Giants is a mixture ranging 
from deep orange through golden orange, deep golden yellow, light 
yellow, lemon yellow, and a delightful new shade of primrose. 
Plants are usually from 3 H to 4 feet high and the gigantic flowers 
are produced in great profusion, making a most gorgeous display.

2nd Prize 25.00 
3rd Prize 15.00

IT COSTS NOTHING TO ENTER THIS 
CONTEST. The misspelled words are not the 
names of seeds, plants or bulbs, but are common 
words that can be found in any dictionary. To 
be eligible for a prize, the following simple rules 
must be complied with: 
RULES—On a blank sheet of paper, print three 
misspelled words, placing each word in a separate 
line near the top of the sheet. Spell the mis¬ 
spelled words just as they are spelled in this cata¬ 
log, and following each misspelled word, and on 
the same line, write the number of the page on 
which the misspelled word appears. Near the 
center of the sheet of paper, write a sentence 
in which all three of the words appear correctly spelled. Near 
the bottom of the sheet, plainly write your name and address. 
Write or print nothing on the sheet of paper other than that 
which we have here mentioned. Either pen and ink or pencil 
may be used. Enclose it with your order for seeds or plants 
or send it in a separate envelope. 
There are only four prizes to be awarded, so if more than 
four persons find three misspelled words, we will award the 
prizes to those who have sent in the neatest correct paper and 
have written the most clever sentence. The first prize is 
$100.00 cash; 2nd prize, $25.00; 3rd prize, $15.00; and 4th 
prize, $10.00. 
This contest closes May 1st, 1937, and prizes will be paid as 
soon after that date as it is possible to determine the winners. 
No one living within ten miles of Galesburg, Michigan, or 
employed by the Burgess Seed & Plant Company, can enter 
this contest. 
Remember, it costs nothing to enter the contest, and you 
will not at any time be asked to send any money or do any 
work. This oner is made simply to get our customers to read 
this catalog more thoroughly, and to familiarize them with our 
wonderfully complete line of seeds and nursery stock.
