Why VAN BOURGONDIEN can 
now give you 
The BIGGEST BULB BARGAINS of 1942! 
Dear Customer: 
When the war cut off the foreign sources of many of the most 
desirable bulbs, prices soared—and Van Bourgondien Brothers of Babylon 
instantly made plans to bring prices down again to bargain levels! 
How? By producing our own American-grown supplies, right here 
in Babylon. 
And now, after two years of intensified efforts, we have succeeded, 
and are able to offer our customers and friends the bargain advantages 
of our greatly increased production of TOP-GRADE, American-grown 
Bulbs of all kinds. 
We follow this policy in order to concentrate our specialized knowledge 
of bulb culture upon Lilies, Gladiolus and all the other bulbs, including 
Daffodils, Tulips, and others planted in the fall. 
The following pages give you only a bare hint of the fascinating 
offerings, and amazingly low prices, which you will find in our forthcoming 
eatalog—now in preparation. It will be ready to mail by the end of 
June and will be sent you immediately. 
But you need not wait for that to get your bulbs for Spring Planting 
—and at the record bargain prices which greatly increased production 
have achieved. Just select from the following pages! 
The greatly increased acreage which we acquired and planted in 
our determined drive to reduce bulb prices—and keep them down—is now 
giving us its first results. Look through the offers in this circular and 
see them for yourself. We shall be glad to have both sizes and prices 
compared with those advertised by other bulb-growers and dealers. We 
are confident that you will quickly decide that VAN BOURGONDIEN 
really can and does now offer you the biggest bargains for your this 
year’s garden! 
But a word of caution: thousands of others will make the same 
discovery! We suggest that you order immediately, in order to avoid 
temporary delays in securing the most popular varieties. Send your 
order at once—on the form included in the back page. 
Very truly yours
