Ours is the largest concern in Holland growing Dutch Bulbs and marketing them direct to American 
flower lovers. From the time the bulbs are planted until they are shipped to you postpaid, we control the 
factors which govern quality. Every step is supervised by a member of our firm. 
It is our purpose to render a personalized service to American home owners and flower lovers. The 
men shown at the left have devoted their entire lives to bulb growing. In fact, the growing of the fine 
bulbs is a family tradition, backed by generations of experience. 
Infinite care and close personal attention to details are required to produce the super-quality Top-Size 
Bulbs listed in this catalog. No other concern is so well equipped to deliver Dutch Bulbs of such abso¬ 
lutely dependable quality. 
The bulbs quoted in this catalog are all Top-Size. This is the largest size the market affords, often 
called “Exhibition Size.” With such bulbs you can actually duplicate in your own garden the huge 
blooms seen at flower shows. 
Our Dutch Bulbs are grown in our own fertile fields at Hillegom, Holland, under the personal super¬ 
vision of a member of our firm. Every step in harvesting, grading and shipping is likewise personally 
supervised. I 
There are certain varieties of bulbs, such as Narcissus, which can be grown to perfection on Long Island. 
These we produce at our extensive nurseries at Babylon. 
Remember, bulbs of the quality we offer are seldom offered at any price by local dealers or mail order 
houses. Indeed, only 40 per cent of our own crop measures up to the standard set for bulbs to be mar¬ 
keted under the Van Bourdondien label. You get only the cream of our crop, yet our prices are no higher 
than you would pay for bulbs of uncertain origin and inferior quality. 
Points to Remember —Please Read Ga^e^dLf 
PREPAID SHIPMENTS. We prepay all carry¬ 
ing charges to destination on orders accompanied 
by payment in full. 
C. O. D. SHIPMENTS. We will book your 
order on receipt of 25 per cent of the amount of 
the order; the planting material will be shipped 
C. O. D. including transportation charges. 
MINIMUM ORDERS. We cannot fill orders 
below $1.00. Also please omit orders for less than 
six of a variety unless a price on each is quoted. 
Six or more of a variety are sold at the dozen rate; 
twenty-five or more of one variety at the hundred 
rate; two hundred fifty or more of one variety at 
the thousand rate. 
ORDER BLANKS are enclosed for your con 
venience. 
EXTRA CATALOGS. We will gladly 
copies of this catalog to any of your friends upon 
receipt of their addresses. 
We will include in every shipment free of charge, 
our own most explicit Cultural Directions for in¬ 
door as well as outdoor culture.
