Burgess’ Perennial Flowers 
SEEDS AND PLANTS 
Perennials are those which flower several years in 
succession and are used for permanent plantings. We 
list with perennials the biennials which are not usually 
treated as annuals, and those that are in perfection 
the second year. All varieties listed on tliis and pages 
.')8 to 70 inclusive are hardy perennials unless otherwise 
stated. Information relative to the blooming season of 
different varieties has been secured througli tests on 
our own seed farms here in Michigan. 
We take pride in offering our stock of perennial plants to 
the public because of their superior quality. Our plants are 
not light grade seedlings offered by so many growers at bar¬ 
gain prices. Neither are they overgrown clumps that have out¬ 
lived their usefulness and difficult to transplant. With very few 
exceptions they are blooming age field grown plants. All our 
plants are free from diseases and in.sects and carefully selected 
to be true to name. For best results plant Burgess’ high grade 
perennials.
