I have ordered off and on over the last fifteen years
from van Bourgondien's wholesale catalogue and gotten
good plants, excellent bulbs and good service. No
cancellations or confused orders. They are a family
owned business and take great pride in their product.
I feel that if something was not right, they would
make every effort to remedy. I plan to get some bulbs
from them this fall, chiefly daffodils and dutch iris.
I'll report on this.
