My Dear Mr. Van Bourgondien: 
Please accept my enclosed check for 
your Dutch War Relief. 
For so many years I have enjoyed 
your fine bulbs and, to quote your let- 
ter, you have my continued good wishes. 
Very sincerely, 
CATHARINE R. MILLER 
New York, April 7, 1943 
Gentlemen: Last fall I purchased 
some Hyacinth bulbs from you, and 
just thought I would write you a few 
lines to let you know that I have never 
seen finer bulbs. They are now in full 
bloom, 
I wish you would let me know as soon 
as you know if you are going to have 
any of these bulbs next fall, also forcing 
Tulips and Narcissus. 
so please send me a catalog if you 
publish any. 
Very truly yours, 
GEORGE F. SINRAM 
New York, March 5, 1943 
Dear Sirs: By coincidence, in the 
same mail in which I received your cir- 
cular, I also received a letter from my 
mother in California, for whom I had 
ordered some of your choice Hyacinths 
and Tulips last fall. 
She states that the Hyacinths are per- 
fect specimens, huge in size and every 
one in full bloom. The Tulips are about 
ready to open and seem to be in a flour 
ir condition. I think this speaks 
well for your products, and, after read- 
ing your circular, I feel I would like 
to send my mother a gift of four Clem- 
atis vines—if you are confident they can 
be shipped so far in good condition. 
If not, kindly return my check (enclosed 
in this letter). 
Very truly, 
MISS FREDA J. KOENIG 
Washington, June 26, 1942 
Gentlemen: Enclosed is a money- 
order and order for bulbs. Your bulbs 
are magnificent and I wish the order 
could be larger. As it is, it seems a 
shame for me to take advantage of your 
early-order discount offer. 
If it becomes necessary to make sub- 
stitutions, I should prefer some pure 
white Tulips. 
Very truly yours, 
MISS JULIA M. SCHMITZ 
New Hampshire, June 11, 1942. 
Dear Sirs: My thanks for the re- 
turned check. I am much disappointed 
not to have Larkspur. 
Are you sending out bulbs for fall 
planting this year? Please let me know 
and send list if possible. My Tulips 
were splendid this year and the Colum- 
bine you sent me last year is very beau- 
tiful at this moment! With all good 
wishes for your ‘‘American-grown”’ 
bulbs and great respect for your valiant 
spirit, I am, always respectfully, 
MARY JOSSELYN McKEY 
Maryland, Wednesday 
Dear Sirs: Will you have Tulip bulbs 
this year? Please send me your booklet. 
Thank you. 
Very truly yours, 
MRS. JOSEPH LAPIDES 
The garden was best this year. Your 
bulbs were the finest I’ve had.
