“"BURGESS' BLIZZARD- BELT BRAND" 
SEEDS & PLANTS 
"Best for All Climates” 
Back of every order we ship are 40 years of plant breeding, 
research and improvement which have enabled us to produce su- 
perior pedigreed strains of vegetable and flower seeds that yield 
larger crops of better quality. Thousands of rich acres are re- 
quired to grow the hardy Northern bred seeds, bulbs and plants 
sold by Burgess each year. The Burgess’ Seed Breeding Station of 
300 acres, located in the heart of the seed growing district near 
Galesburg, Michigan, is devoted to vegetable seed breeding and 
stock seed production, and may be said to be the cornerstone of a 
business based on quality of seed and confidence of satisfied users. 
Burgess’ Seed Breeding Station 
is under the direction of Gordon 
Morrison, nationally known horti- NOTICE 
culturist, and one of America’s Because of delays and extra 
most skilled propagators. He and favelved ei ines 
his: vegetable seed breeding staff ¢*Pense Involved in making 
select for seed production those ©.O.D. shipments, we can- 
not accept C.0.D. orders 
from this catalog. Please 
ccoperate by sending full 
plants that approach perfection in 
terms of productiveness, hardiness, 
remittance with your order. 
drought and disease resistance, at- 
tractive appearance, superior flavor 
and texture and nourishing value. 
Thousands of dollars are spent each 
year in keeping our seed stocks pure and producing our improved 
strains. This kind of plant breeding is costly, but is one very im- 
portant means of insuring gardening success, 
Burgess’ Seeds are represented by resistant varieties which 
thrive in the presence of soil-borne diseases that destroy ordinary 
varieties in some gardening areas. As a further contribution 
toward the gardening success of tens of thousands of our grateful 
customers, we have devoted the skill of our technical staff and the 
use of our special equipment to the proper chemical treatment of 
most varieties of vegetable and flower seeds.’ This chemical treat- 
ment insures clean seeds for healthy gardens. 
Free Seed Treatment for Our Customers 
Gardening snecess is known to be assured in large measure by 
proper chemical treatment of seeds before planting, to destroy 
germs borne upon the surface of the seeds. 
These seed treatments are expensive and bothersome, particu- 
larly for beginning gardeners who lack knowledge of necessary 
treatments and how to employ them. 
As a service, without added cost to our customers, we com- 
menced the treatment, several years ago, of vegetable and flower 
varieties known to respond favorably. This has proven of such 
value to our customers, as expressed in the many letters we have 
received, that the service has been continued each year since that 
time, and despite the present high costs of suitable chemicals and 
the great amount of labor involved, we are giving this free service 
again this year as usual. 
The Burgess Guarantee 
WE 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 fo be true to name, and 
will replace free of charge any that may prove otherwise through 
a possible error. 
We guarantee all seeds and plants to reach you in good grow- 
ing condition, so it is hereby agreed that if any shipment is de- 
layed or damaged in transit, you will be protected against loss. 
- The life of a plant after it reaches the planter in good condition 
depends entirely upon conditions over which we have no control, 
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 subject 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. 
(Your original papers must be returned with any request for 
change or adjustment in your order.] 5
