Happy Spring!
We wish you all a very happy, colorful and fragrant spring season. Here in the northwest corner of Connecticut, spring has finally arrived, albeit later than normal. Last year at this time the Narcissi were in full bloom, along with some early Tulips. This chilly spring, the Narcissi are just beginning to bloom and the Tulip foliage is only a few inches tall! Happily, flower bulbs are adaptable to Mother Nature's whims.
Our Fall 2018 Beauty from Bulbs Catalog
We have finished our work on the Fall 2018 Beauty from Bulbs catalog and are now in Holland meeting with Dutch flower bulb growers and colleagues, researching new varieties for the future. (Like us on Facebook, where we will be posting photographs of the Dutch bulb fields, special trial gardens and the Keukenhof while we are there.)
To tempt you, we are adding dozens of new Tulips, Narcissi, Camassia, Fritillaria, Ipheion, Hyacinths and Muscari and Amaryllis to our collection. We will update our website with our Fall 2018 collection on May 4th when it will go live for the fall season. Our new Beauty from Bulbs catalog is being printed in May: you can expect your new catalog to arrive around June 1st. If you need a catalog, please sign up for one now.

Top Quality Flower Bulbs
Each of our 800+ varieties flower bulbs are carefully inspected by both Dutch and American agricultural inspectors during the spring flowering season and harvest. Our devoted Dutch growers deliver our bulbs to our esteemed export colleagues who inspect them for top size, health and quality before loading them in to temperature and humidity controlled containers. The ships take about two weeks to cross the Atlantic. Once the ships dock, the containers, still temperature and humidity controlled, are trucked to our state-of-art warehouse here in Bantam, CT. Our Dutch growers and export colleagues have been working with flower bulbs for generations, as has our family here. Flower bulbs are in our blood. Once we receive our flower bulbs, we inspect again each variety to make sure that you will receive only the largest, healthiest flower bulbs from the annual Dutch harvest. We have such a great team in our 30,000 square foot warehouse, as well as in our customer service house. Some of us have been working together for 30 years. We’re like a flower bulb family taking care of your bulbs before you nestle them into the ground in your family’s garden.
