A.D.R Bulbs, Inc

founded in a small basement office in Wyckoff, New Jersey by Simon Ruigrok Sr., a Dutch bulb grower. Originally named Ruigrok Bulbs, the Wyckoff location served mostly as a flower bulb distribution center until 1978 when the company acquired two local flower bulb wholesalers; DeGroot Bulb Company and George Alkemade Inc, thus becoming A.D.R Bulbs, Inc. Now in need of new facilities and someone to manage his growing American operation, Simon Sr. turned to his young cousin and salesman Walter who agreed to relocate from Holland and stay in the United States full time to manage A.D.R Bulbs.
