K. Van Bourgondien & Sons

The Van Bourgondien Family

It all began nearly 200 years ago in Holland, where the Van Bourgondien family first started growing tulips - a small patch meant for the cut flower trade. We didn't even come to America until 1904, when Karel C. Van Bourgondien came over to sell his family crop of flower bulbs. He stayed and established a warehouse in Arlington, New Jersey - and never looked back.

Those bulbs grew - and so have we. Now there are seven generations of Van Bourgondiens here in the US, bringing you the best and most interesting bulbs and perennials that Holland has to offer. We may have 250 employees now - but we're still a family business.

And that's why we take such pride in our work, and put such emphasis on customer satisfaction. We're not just sending out products - we're putting our name and reputation on the line.

We've been sending out catalogs since 1880 - each better than the last. We are especially excited about our new catalog, which has many new and exciting plants. To get yours please request a free catalog. All our plants come from very reliable, expert growers - we would never offer you anything collected from the wild! We believe in respecting nature, and just giving her a bit of a helping hand with the color schemes and designs.

Don't forget - we guarantee you that your plants will grow and flower! So stop in, browse around - and we look forward to having you in our family of customers.
