Read This Guarantee 
We absolutely guarantee to deliver all seeds and plants, anywhere in the United States, in good 
growing condition. We also guarantee all plants to be healthy, vigorous and true-to-name, and all seeds 
fresh, true-to-name and tested for germination. 
On all nursery stock we will, unless otherwise stated in this catalog, replace free of charge all that 
fails to grow. 
There are no strings tied to this guarantee, the only conditions being that tKe full catalog pur¬ 
chase price be sent with the order and that the guaranteed nursery stock that fails to live and grow be 
reported to us not later than July 1, 1937. House and Pot Plants are not classed as Nursery Stock. 
For guarantee on house and pot plants, see page 72. 
It is our sincere desire to do everything that is humanly possible to make every sale a satis¬ 
factory transaction. Satisfied customers are our most valuable asset. While you will find us at 
all times willing to do anything and everything we can to please you, it must hereby be agreed that 
in no case shall the Burgess Seed & Plant Company be liable for more than the original purchase 
price of the stock. We believe this to be the most binding and most liberal guarantee ever made 
by a responsible seed house or nursery. 
We Pay the Postage, Express or Freight 
Except When Prices Are Plainly Given as Not Prepaid i 
WE PAY THE POSTAGE, EXPRESS OR FREIGHT to your town, anywhere in the United States, and to 
the U. S. Possessions and Canada, on all seeds offered in this catalog, except at the prices which are plainly 
given as not prepaid. We also pay the postage to all foreign countries, except that the customer must pay for 
any transit charges over and above the regular postage rates. We deliver prepaid, anywhere in the United 
States, all plants offered in this catalog, except where otherwise specified. 
Burgess’ seeds are sold direct to the planter and not through local dealers. It has been our aim to insure 
that our customers sow only the best seeds obtainable. With that aim in view you can readily see the neces¬ 
sity of our dealing direct with the gardener. We have more than one million satisfied customers. 
OUR NURSERY, GREENHOUSES and SEED DEPARTMENT are entirely separate.^ Many customers prefer 
having their seeds shipped early, their bedding plants late, with the fruit and ornamental section in season be¬ 
tween. Even when this arrangement is not specified, we sometimes thus exercise our discretion, for the cus¬ 
tomer’s best interests. 
ALWAYS SEND REMITTANCE WITH ORDER. Our terms are the same to all. Our business is done on a 
cash basis. This is a direct benefit to all our customers, as we are not compelled to increase our selling price 
to you in order to cover other people’s bad debts, and at our low prices we can’t afford to open any accounts 
or fill C.O.D. orders. W’hile we prefer that remittance be made either by post office or express money order, 
bank draft or registered letter, we will, for amounts of less than one dollar, accept clean postage stamps. 
REMEMBER—We cannot accept Canadian or foreign postage stamps, as we cannot use them.
