^ Read This Guarantee 
It is our desire to do everything that is humanly possible to make every sale a satisfactory trans¬ 
action. We therefore make, as a condition of each sale, the following liberal guarantee: 
SEEDS and BULBS—We absolutely guarantee to deliver all seeds and bulbs in good growing 
condition. We also guarantee them to be true-to-name, healthy, vigorous, and of high quality. 
TREES, SHRUBS, FIELD GROWN ROSES and BERRY PLANTS are guaranteed to reach you in 
good growing condition and, because they are usually dormant when shipped, we will replace free of 
charge any that fail to gjrow, if such failures are reported to us not later than July 1st, 1938. 
HOUSE PLANTS, PERENNIALS and POT GROWN ROSES are guaranteed to reach you in good 
growing condition, and we will replace free of charge any that do not, provided we are notified within 
ten days from date plants reach you. We do not ship perennials or pot grown plants outside of the 
Continental United States except at customer’s risk. 
There are no strings tied to this guarantee, the only condition being that the full catalog price 
be sent with the order. It is further 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 
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 
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. Send remittances by post office or express money order, bank draft or registered letter. 
Do not send loose coin or currency unless registered. 
Plants Delivered Anywhere in the Unite 
States in Good Growing Condition
