“The Best That Grow/’ 
The beauty of your garden next spring 
depends, to a great extent, on what you 
plant this fall—the material available is 
wide and varied. Tulips, Daffodils and 
Hyacinths are ideal for bold displays in 
solid beds or borders, or in groups of a 
few dozen here and there among peren-' 
nials, in the front of shrubbery, or in odd 
nooks and corners. And who does not 
admire the dainty loveliness of Snow¬ 
drops, Scillas, Chionodoxas, Crocus, etc., 
in beds, borders or rock gardens! 
Plant Burpee’s Bulbs and Save Money 
All bulbs listed in this catalog, with a few exceptions, must be planted in the 
fall; they cannot be had at any other season of the year. Nearly all are ready for 
delivery after the middle of September, and all hardy varieties can be planted 
outdoors any time from then on until the ground freezes hard. Daffodils, however, 
will do better if planted before the ground freezes. Practically all ‘‘fall bulbs” can 
be grown in pots or bowls in the house during the winter. Short cultural directions 
are given in this book, but if more complete instructions are wanted, ask for Burpee 
Leaflet No. 31, “Bulbs for Winter and Spring Blooming.” 
Prices on some classes of bulbs are lower than they have been for many years. Need 
we urge you to take advantage of these savings and plant generously this fall! 
Free Delivery 
All Bulbs and Seeds offered in this Catalog will be delivered 
to you by parcel post or express prepaid. 
Order Early 
Bulbs ordered before they are ready to send out will be 
booked for delivery and orders filled in rotation as received 
just as quickly as possible after bulbs are in the proper 
condition for planting. At the low prices quoted, it will pay 
you to send for your bulbs early. Seeds will be sent on 
receipt of order. If you have not depended upon Burpee 
for your seeds and bulbs, do so this year; a trial order will 
be appreciated.
