It is our pleasure to send you our 1943 copy of our bulb catalog. When Holland was invaded we had to change 
our plans and start growing bulbs in this country. In the beginning it was with some difficulty as the bulbs were not 
quite as large as those received from the Netherlands before, but lately we have succeeded in growing a very satis- 
factory article. The letters we have received from our different customers telling us how beautiful our Hyacinths and 
Tulips were this spring, assure us of this. We can positively guarantee you satisfaction from the Long Island grown 
bulbs. 
The stock of bulbs is going to be very scarce during the war, so we are asking you to please mail your order as early 
as possible and not to wait until the last moment. Your bulbs will be shipped to you after September 15th with the 
exception of Lily bulbs, which will be shipped during the month of October. 
Again we have kept our price as low as possible so that everybody can enjoy these flowers in his garden.
