MICHELL’S BULB NOVELTIES 
A selection of outstanding varieties that are sure to enhance the beauty of your garden or conservatory 
NOVELTY TULIPS 
The Novelty Tulips we offer this year are so surprisingly good that anyone 
can make a selection without fear of disappointment next spring. 
The brilliant Ideal Darwins and the spectacular Cottages cannot help thrill¬ 
ing the lover of fine Tulips, and the rich tones of Jubilee and the sheer opulence 
of the new Breeders will satisfy the most critical lovers of these types. 
The Ideal Tulips are Darwin Tulips strengthened and brightened with 
just a touch of wild Tulip blood. They will bloom a few days earlier than 
the Darwins and the flowers will have more life and sparkle to them than 
the older varieties.

NOVELTY HYACINTHS 
Whether for a bed of glorious early bloom in the garden, or as a pot-plant for 
beauty and fragrance in the house, there is nothing like the Hyacinth. 
Hyacinth varieties are not numerous, so we are more than pleased to be able 
to offer the following extra-fine new varieties. 
HERCULES. Excellent as an exhibition variety. Spikes much larger than ordinary varieties, 
deep rose in color. 50c. each; doz., $4.75; $35.00 per 100. 
ORANGE BOVEN (Sunburst). Medium-sized flower of reddish apricot-orange—a unique 
color. Desirable for decoration when grown in pots. 30c. each; doz., $3.00; $22.50 per 100. 
PRINCESS MARGARET. A cross between Lady Derby and Morena. Well-formed, clear 
flesh-pink bells, on a wide and immense truss. Forces well in mid- and late season. 
35c. each; doz., $3.50; $25.00 per 100. 
ROYAL SCARLET. Produces very brilliant fiery scarlet flowers on medium-sized spike. 
30c. each; doz., $3.00; $22.50 per 100. 
HYACINTH MULTIFLORA 
Multiflora Hyacinth bulbs have undergone a special cultural treatment which causes 
them to produce from 8 to 12 loosely arranged graceful flower-spikes from each bulb, instead 
of the ordinary single stiff spike of flowers. The rich fragrance of ordinary Hyacinths is not 
lost in the process. They are unexcelled for growing in the home either in peat moss, bulb 
fibre, or in ordinary garden soil. The informal dainty gracefulness of the plant in bloom 
appeals to everyone and is especially attractive to those who have considered the ordinary 
Hyacinth rather stiff and formal. The treated bulbs have many off-shoots and for that reason 
each bulb is packed in an individual box with the utmost of care. They can be supplied in 
Pink, White, and Yellow. 35c. each; 3 for $1.00; doz., $3.50.
