MICHELL’S SUPERB NAMED HYACINTHS 
Our Hyacinth bulbs are of best quality, grown by specialists especially for us. The bulbs are of maximum sizes, fully aged. 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS FOR HYACINTHS.—Outdoor Culture. Plant in October and November in good, well-drained 
garden soil. Plant bulbs so that the top will be 3 or 4 inches below the surface and 6 to 8 inches apart. After the ground has frozen, 
cover with litter, leaves or manure, to protect them from frost, this should be removed in the Spring when danger from hard frost is past. 
Pot Culture. —Plant any time from September to December, using a 4 or 5 inch pot for single bulbs, or several bulbs may be 
planted in a larger pot or bulb pan. After planting, water well and place in a cool, dark, airy place until well rooted, after which re¬ 
move to a cool room and later to a warmer room. 
SINGLE WHITE SHADES 
La Grandesse. C. Pure white, waxy bells; the perfect spike is full and long. 
This variety is excellent for late forcing and bedding. 
L’Innocence. A. Pure white; excellent forcer and very choice for bedding; 
extra fine truss with large bells. 
SINGLE YELLOW AND ORANGE SHADES 
Culture in Glasses. —The single varieties are the best for this purpose. Place the bulb in a glass, which should be filled with 
water, so it touches the bottom of the bulb, and place the glasses in a cool, dark place. Change the water occasionally. Keep in the 
dark until well rooted and then remove to a light, cool place. 
For complete cultural notes, see “Michell’s Bulb Growing Guide,” sent free on request. 
As there is a slight variation as to time of blooming of the various sorts 
we have indicated their relative time of flowering by letters following the 
variety, the A’s being the earliest, the D’s the latest.
