PREFER BURGESS’ SUPERIOR 
eeds, Bulbs and Plants 




CHOOSE FROM OVER 1,000 HEALTHY, VIGOROUS 
VARIETIES THAT YIELD LARGER, BETTER QUALITY CROPS 
Join the ranks of thousands of other discriminating growers in all parts of the 
world who attribute their garden success to Burgess’ Seeds and Plants. In this new 
1943 Burgess Catalog, you will find a truly amazing variety of flowers, fruits, vege- 
tables, roses, vines, ornamentals and novelties. These are hardy, healthy, Northern- 
grown varieties that thrive even under difficult growing conditions. It pays to buy 
the BEST seeds and plants ... that’s why it pays to BUY BURGESS seed. Time, 
labor, fertilizer, etc. are the greatest expenses of gardening. The cost of the seed 
and plants is one of the smallest. Actually it costs you just as much to sow poor 
seed of ordinary quality as it does to sow the best. Why be satisfied with less when you 
can have healthy plants and good yield from Burgess Seeds... and still SAVE 
MONEY ? 
YOU GET MORE FOR YOUR MONEY WHEN YOU 
Ss USE BURGESS TREATED SEEDS : 
Burgess’ SPECIALLY TREATED Seeds prevent seed-diseases, ‘“damping-off,” 
etc. Actually our scientific treatment of the many varieties prevents more than one- 
half of all plant diseases . .. yet our seed costs no more and often less than that 
offered without this protection. Back of every order we ship are 30 years of plant 
breeding, research and improvement which have enabled us to produce consistently 
superior, pedigreed strains of vegetable and flower seeds, that yield larger crops of 
better quality. Thousands of rich acres are required to grow the hardy, Northern- 
bred seeds, bulbs and plants you buy each year. Burgess’ Seeds and Plants are 
sold direct to you and never through local dealers. You'll Find Burgess’ Dependable 
Service and Fair and Reasonable Prices your assurance of complete satisfaction.

The Burgess 
GUARANTEE 
W JE positively guarantee all 
seeds and plants sold by us 
to be exactly as described in this 
catalog, and free from disease and 
insect pests. We also guarantee 
them to be true to name, and wilh 
replace free of charge any that 
may prove otherwise through a 
possible error. 
We guarantee all seeds and plants to 
reach you in good growing condition, so 
it is hereby agreed that if any shipment 
made to you becomes damaged through 
delay or other causes in transit, you 
will be protected against loss, provided 
we are notified within ten days. The life 
of a plant after it reaches the planter 
in good condition depends entirely upon 
conditions over which we have no con- 
trol, so we cannot be held responsible 
if later the plant fails. A tree, shrub 
or other plant is a living organism, as 
much ‘as a cow, horse or man. It 
breathes, drinks and feeds, and is sub- 
ject to attacks of disease and insects. 
Even with Burgess’ superior quality 
seeds and plants, success depends 
largely upon cultivation, soil and 
weather conditions. It is agreed that 
in no case shall the Burgess Seed & 
Plant Co. be liable for more than the . 
original purchase price.
