Michelle Hyacinths 
SPECIAL NOTICE. We have exercised unusual precaution to see that our growers send us full-size bulbs as listed in centi¬ 
meters; some offerings are being made at low prices under the headings of First, Second and Third Size, without reference to 
the measurements. 
PLEASE NOTE. Original packages of Hyacinth bulbs contain the following quantities: First size, 50 bulbs; second size, 
third size, and miniature, 100 bulbs. If possible, please order in these unit quantities. 
As there is a slight variation as to the 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. 
Due to the uncertainty of prices on Hyacinths and Tulips 
at the time this Catalog goes to press, fixed prices cannot 
be made. We assure you, however, that when costs will 
he established, we shall be in line with all large and 
reputable houses. Our quality will be of the best, and all 
Tulips we furnish this season will be top-size bulbs only. 
Our Hyacinths strictly up to sizes as specified in our list. 
Why not place your order on open account as so many 
of our customers are now doing? You are assured of 
QUALITY, SIZE, RELIABILITY, and PRICE.
