Burgess’ Annual Flowers 
Flowers are enjoyed by everyone and are so easily raised that any home can have an abundance of blossoms during the entire 
year. We list with the annuals a few varieties of biennials and tender perennials which bloom and do their best the first year 
from seed and are usually treated as annuals. The seeds we offer are the products of years of careful selection, and no better strains 
are to be obtained at any price. ALL FLOWER SEEDS ARE DELIVERED POSTPAID AT PRICES GIVEN.

(Tall Giant Flowered Snapdragon). 5 feet 
high ; flowers of magnificent size. A very fine 
strain, but not the rust-proof. A fine mixtureof colors. Pkt., 8c; y 8 oz., 30c; oz., 50c.

Giant Rust-Proof Antirrhinums (Snapdragon) 
In point of beauty very few flowers approach the Antirrhinum or Snapdragon, yet this most 
beautiful flower has been relegated to a more or less inferior place because of the ravages of the 
rust disease. After several years of painstaking experimentation a strain has been developed 
that is immune to rust. 85% of the plants, when exposed to the most severe rust conditions, 
will remain completely immune in all instances. 
The All-America Selection Committee, realizing the development of rust-proof snapdragons 
was so outstanding in the annals of hoiticulture, and the contribution so great to American 
gardeners, they issued a "Certificate of Honor" to Rust-proof Antirrhinums. While this com¬ 
mittee makes Gold Medal Awards, Awards of Merit, etc., to various new novelties and introduc¬ 
tions each year, this is the first Certificate of Honor ever to be awarded.
