& urpeeds Bulbs for Fall Plan ting 

American Grown Bulbs for American Gardens 
All bulbs listed in this catalog, except Bermuda Easter Lilies, are American Grown and have been 
produced with the utmost care to assure you the best results. 
It is easy to grow beautiful flowers from Burpee’s Bulbs. Some are for indoor culture only, others 
for outdoors and some for both. In the description of each class, we give specific information as to how 
to grow and where they do best. Full cultural instructions are printed on the bags containing the bulbs. 
Anemones, Ranunculus and Hardy Lilies can be planted either in the fall or spring, but as they 
are generally planted in the fall, they are included in this book. All other bulbs offered must be 
planted in the fall; they cannot be had at any other season of the year. As the supply of bulbs is 
limited, we suggest that you order as soon as possible. 
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO OUR CUSTOMERS 
For the convenience of all customers living west of Ohio we have opened a branch > 
in Clinton, Iowa. Send your orders to us at Clinton, Iowa, if it is nearer to you 
than Philadelphia, Pa. 
ORDER EARLY Bulbs ordered before they are ready to 
send out will be booked for delivery and orders filled, in 
rotation as received, as quickly as possible after the bulbs 
reach us from our growers. All Bulbs, with just a few ex- 
ceptions, 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 will 
do better if planted before the ground freezes.

be delivered prepaid anywhere in the U. S. or its possessions 
at the prices quoted, except large quantities of vegetable 
roots and Mushroom Spawn, listed ‘‘not prepaid.” 
BURPEE GUARANTEE We guarantee the vitality and 
purity of Burpee’s Seeds and Bulbs to the full amount of 
the purchase price. You can have your money back any 
time within a year if you are not satisfied with the results. 
Even with the highest quality seeds and bulbs, success in 
gardening depends largely upon cultivation, soil, and weather 
conditions. Therefore, in no case shall W. Atlee Burpee Co. 
be liable for more than the amount actually paid us for 
seeds or bulbs. All goods listed in this book are sold under 
this guarantee; they must produce satisfactory results or 
your money will be refunded.
