De Graaff Brothers
The de Graaff brothers (De Gebroeders de Graaff, Gebr. de Graaff) were a Dutch horticultural family company based in Lisse, Netherlands, in an area known as Duin- en Bollenstreek (Dune and Bulb Region), the centre of the Dutch bulb and floriculture industry.
== History ==
The family business was founded by Cornelis de Graaff in 1723. 〔(Jan de Graaff; Horticulturist; Lily Specialist. LA Times. August 10, 1989 )〕 〔(The Lily Wizard. The Australian Women's Weekly Wednesday 19 January 1966 p.4 )〕 They became notable in the nineteenth century when Jan de Graaff and his two sons developed the ''Reginae'' strain of hybrids of Hippeastrum by crossing ''Hippeastrum vitatum'' and ''Hippeastrum striatum'' with ''Hippeastrum psittacinum'' and some of the better hybrids available in Europe at the time. Some of the most successful hybrids were ''Graveana'' and ''Empress of India''.〔(Alan W. Meerow. Tilting at windmills: 20 years of Hippeastrum breeding. Israel Journal of Plant Sciences Volume 57, Issue 4, 2009 303-313. DOI: 10.1560/IJPS.57.4.303 )〕
In the twentieth century the business was continued in the United States in the de Graaf nursery in Oregon (Oregon Bulb Farms 1928) by another Jan de Graaff (1903-1989), who became known as an international expert on Lilies.
