MICHELL'S SPECIAL OFFERINGS 



Dutch, Roman, and White 

 Hyacinths 



L'Innocencc. The best white variety for forcing. 

 There are practically no French Roman Hyacinths 

 on the market — in the later winter there will be a 

 demand for white hyacinths for design work that 

 cannot be filled with any flower better than the 

 "Dutch Roman." They are easily forced in flats or 

 pans; splendid for cutting, for use in bouquets, 

 centerpieces or funeral work. Big, husky bulbs 

 that will produce large, graceful spikes. $4.25 per 

 100; $36.00 per 1000. 



Narcissus Paper White Grandiflora 



Big, plump bulbs, 13 ctiti., up, packed 1250 to the case. 

 There is always a profit in forcing them; keep a batch 

 coming along constantly. Engage your season's re- 

 quirements now, keep in a cool cellar until ready to 

 plant. S2.75 per 100: SZl.OO per 1000; per case of 12S0 

 bulbs, $26.25. 



Dutch Roman Hyacinth, L'lnnocence 



Asparasfus Plumosus Nanus Seed 



True greenhouse-grown stock. $4.00 per 1000 seeds; $19.00 per 5000 

 seeds; $36.00 per 10,000 seeds; $85.00 per 25.000 seeds.

 Ktc. 



Lilium Formosum (Dark Stem Type) 



A splendid lot of late dug bulbs, especially well ripened, 

 just the thing to plant in flats and benches for cutting or 

 for pot plants to sell at Easter. Dark stem Formosums 

 are superior to the green stem type, and worth more. 

 Fine, big 6 to 8-in. bulbs* packed 400 to the case; per case

LE MARECHAL FOCH 



FREE, WASHINGTON, D. C. HUNDRED AT THOUSAND PRICE 



First-class Certificate Haarlem, August 4, 1919. Its color is a shade brighter 

 than America, flowers twice as large as America and its habit of growth is 

 like America. It is as early as Halley and multiplies as Halley. In a few 

 years Le Marechal Foch will be growing all over the U. S. A., and when 

 you are talking about Gladioli you will talk about Le Marechal Foch, be- 

 cause it is the best fine pink color, very early, has extra shipping qualities, 

 and every first size bulb gives three and four strong flower spikes direct 

 out of the bulb. 



Never a Gladiolus has been introduced with such great trade possibilities. 



NaI-I/^a va Imnn>4 ^^'^ J'^^'' ^ ^'^'^ several shipments for customers in the 



once re impon u. S. a. A11 have been inspected by the F. H. B. in Wash- 



ington and no pests at all have been found, so all customers have received the goods 

 in good condition. As the inspection by the F. H. B. is very exact, you have to be 

 sure that you get absolutely sound stuflf. We therefore beg to inform you that you 

 cannot order Gladioli everywhere, because the inspection has to be done also on our 

 side very carefully, and although our cultures are absolutely pest free, we hand-select 

 all our bulbs before shipping. 11 you give us your order you can be sure that you will 

 have no trouble at all, as we know all about inspection, packing and shipping. Bulbs 

 for propagating are duty free. We arethe largest stockholders of this variety and 

 guarantee true stock. Stock is very limited.
