“Starting from Scratch ” 
FIFTEEN years ago we landed upon this Continent with the ambition to serve 
America with a finer quality of Dutch bulbs than American gardens had ever 
known. Back of us we had several generations of bulb growers (our own family) 
who were sufficiently skilled in the fine art of producing the choicest in bulbs—a 
product that inspired sufficient confidence to make us come out with the strongest 
of claims, and to adopt the slogan: 
“Bulbs in a Class All Their Own” 
The intervening years have seen us make many friends among the discriminating 
bulb buyers of this country. From a very small beginning we have succeeded in 
inspiring thousands of faithful customers with confidence in what we say about 
our bulbs. 
Year after year our business has grown in satisfactory proportions, and it may 
interest our customers to learn that the same acres and the same skill that were 
back of us at the start are still serving us faithfully over in Holland. 
With the arrival of the Narcissus Bulb embargo, we were obliged to transfer our 
activities in that line to the fertile acres of Long Island. Our Daffodil plantation 
at Babylon is conducted with the same scrupulous care as our farms in Holland 
and the results obtained by gardeners everywhere, in connection with our Daffodil 
bulbs, are as gratifying as those which we claim for our Tulips, Hyacinths, etc. 
Looking forward to again enjoying your liberal patronage, we want to assure 
you of our unceasing care in supplying the type of bulbs that will bloom for you 
freely and beautifully.
