A Nessage ‘Regarding 
Culips ano lowering Bulbs 
Dear Friends and Customers: 
It is a pleasure to be sending you our 1947 bulb catalog. This is the second book 
issued after Holland’s liberation. Reports received so far from our Holland office 
indicate that a good crop may be expected, and we will be able to supply you with 
top quality bulbs. 
Many of the varieties, including Novelty Daffodils, in this catalog have been re- 
duced in price, so that more customers can enjoy the flowers in their gardens and 
use them in prize-winning exhibitions in local Garden Club shows. Van Bourgondien 
Bros., as in the past, guarantee their merchandise, giving you better quality and more 
pleasure than some of the inferior grades you sometimes see advertised. 
The confidence you have shown us in the past has been sincerely appreciated, and 
WE PRE DAY we feel that something has been left undone if we fail to take this opportunity of 
thanking you for all favors you have shown us.

SUCCESS IS EASY WITH VAN BOURGONDIEN TULIPS 
The GREAT RED EMPEROR 
A Culip De Luxe 
A glorious scarlet-red Tulip of 
remarkable size and substance. The 
petals are 6 inches long and the 
flower opens in the sun like a tre- 
mendous Oriental Poppy disclos- 
ing a brilliant black center, bor- 
dered with yellow. It blooms about 
a week or ten days before the 
May-flowering Tulips and is not 
too tall. A bed of these would be 
absolutely startling. Certainly the 
largest and brightest red Tulip in 
existence. Height 18 inches. 
50c for 3; 
$1.90 per doz.; 
$14.CO per 100.
