Gentlemen: Just a line to thank 
you for the wonderful Tulip bulbs 
you sent me last fall. 
The Fantasy, Black Parrot bulbs 
were great but the Therese was the 
show Tulip in this neighborhood. 
I invited many of my friends to see 
this fine Tulip which was over 6 
inches across. They wanted to know 
where I got such wonderful bulbs 
and I gave them your address. 
Yours very truly, 
FRANK E. HAGAN.

Dear Sirs: Please send me a copy 
of your latest catalog, and I will 
send you an order for bulbs such as 
only Van Bourgondien Brothers are 
capable of producing. It has been 
several years since I have had an 
order from you, but I have not for- 
gotten what strong healthy bulbs 
come from your place. When my 
friends see my Tulip beds they really 
say such lovely flowers are just out 
of this world. Tulips, Jonquils and 
Hyacinths which I bought from you 
7 years ago are still healthy and 
blooming profusely every season. 
They have been divided and reset, 
and each year they are more beauti- 
ful than ever. Where can man get 
closer to God than in a flower gar- 
den? Yours very truly, 
MRS. REBECCA REAVICK. 
Troy, Ohio. 
Also I would like to tell you how 
pleased I am with the Tulip bulbs 
I ordered from you last fall. They 
are simply beautiful! I never dream- 
ed I could grow Tulips as large and 
gorgeous as they have all turned out 
to be. One Parrot actually measures 
7 inches arcoss the diameter. I have 
@ large bouquet here on my desk 
at work. Wish you could be here to 
receive the compliments too. They 
are certainly doing a good job of 
advertising for you and I have given 
your address to a number of people 
here at work. Everyone wants to 
know where I got the bulbs. 
Many thanks again for your fine 
service and good quality merchan- 
dise, Yours very truly, 
MRS. JOHN P. ADAMS.
