Somerville 43, Mass. 
Dear Sirs: June 24, 1949 
Enclosed please find my very 
small order for bulbs, with cover- 
ing check. 
I have been so truly delighted 
with past orders, that I could 
not resist the temptation to add 
a few more bulbs to my already 
lovely collection. I hope next 
year I may have added space to 
enable me to give you a larger 
order. 
May I say my blooms were 
gorgeous this spring and their 
display in my office brought 
forth much comment—from 
which I hope you may receive 
some further orders. Your cata- 
log has been circulated around 
the office. Sincerely yours, 
Miss Theresa Magnuson 
Annapolis, Md. 
Dear Sirs: May 5, 1949 
I though it would interest you 
to know that I have just won 
two first prizes with the white 
and red Tulips I got from you 
last Nov. I would like to know 
the names of these 2 Tulips if 
you kept a file on these. I al- 
ready have two requests for your 
name and the name of the 
Tulips. I am president of a large 
garden club and we are having 
exhibitions of arrangements dur- 
ing the Wonderland Pilgrimage 
Week here in Annapolis. 
Sincerely yours, 
Mrs. H. A. Baldridge 
Clifton Heights, Pa. 
Dear Sirs: May 2, 1949 
I wish I could express in 
words how pleased we are with 
the Tulip bulbs we bought from 
you this early spring. They are 
just gorgeous, and the one called 
Therese is the largest we have 
ever seen. We are going to try 
and paint this one the exact size 
today as it is in full bloom. All 
the neighbors stand and admire 
our Tulip bed. Sincerely, 
Mary B. Chapman 
St. Louis, Mo. 
Gentlemen: June 8, 1949 
It is indeed a pleasure to ex- 
press my appreciation for the 
fine bulbs, excellent packing, 
careful attention to filling of 
orders, and general consideration 
which you at Van Bourgondien 
Bros. are responsible for. I have 
ordered bulbs from others in the 
past, but comparison between 
your quality bulbs and other 
firms have convinced me _ that 
from now on my orders for bulbs 
will be exclusively yours. 
Sincerely, 
Mary Jeanne Armstrong 
Richmond, Ind. 
Dear Sirs: June 10, 1949 
I was more than pleased with 
my order last fall. The Parrot 
Tulips were simply gorgeous this 
spring. They were admired by 
the garden club members who 
visited my garden. I want to 
thank you for the catalog which 
I received a few days ago. En- 
closed find order for more bulbs. 
Sincerely yours, 
Mrs. Clarke Crowe
