Their e-mail address is:
blooms@dutchbulbs.com
Check out:
http://www.dutchbulbs.com/bulblady.html
Also:
http://www.dutchbulbs.com/
The same outdated site also pops up under:
http://www.vanbourgondien.com/
I ordered 25 Asiatic lily bulbs for landscaping last Spring and
they were lovely....they were unnamed and also unmarked as to color
but they all bloomed at the end of July and some in August. I was
very pleased with these el cheapo bulbs.
I was able to sell about 3/4 of them when folks asked if I would
sell them....I kept some that were really lovely, one was a nice
early red and also a downfacing white and an outfacing yellow.
They probably have a new, updated site that can be found easily.

I have never seen a wholesale catalog and there was some talk on
the lilium list that the wholesale cat.is a little bit different
than the retail. I don't know that and Betty M. says they are the
same.
