BPeCiIAl NOTICE!.... 
Due to existing conditions in Europe it is almost a 
certainty that there will be no Tulips, Hyacinths or 
other bulbs shipped from Holland this season. 
However, we have arranged for a supply of Amer- 
ican=- and British-grown Tulips in varieties as 
listed in this Catalog. 

American-grown Narcissus, Iris, etc., will also be 
available as usual. 
Our customers who place their orders with us can 
be assured that we will do our utmost to fill them 
completely. 
HENRY F. MICHELL CO. 
Michell’s Reliable Bulbs for Fall Planting 
IMPORTANT NOTICE. We call attention to the fact that Easter in 1944 comes on April 9, and it is important that florists keep 
this in mind, particularly when planting and handling their bulbous stock. 
Our Tulip bulbs are grown in the best districts, to insure perfect development and full-sized stock. Those who place their orders with 
us may be sure of getting bulbs that will not only bloom but also prove true to name. 
The asterisk (*) preceding the variety denotes that it is suitable for forcing as well as bedding. The letters E, F and G following the variety 
indicate their relative time of blooming, the E’s being the earliest to bloom. 
Tulip bulbs 
The figures indicate the normal ‘height 1 in inches. 
are packed 250 in a bag; please order in units of this number if possible.

A Few Don'ts 
Don’t leave bulbs in paper bags or cases when they ate damp. 
Don’t plant bulbs in soil in which bulbs have been grown before. 
Don’t put flats or pans on top of the ground after planting. 
Don’t bury the flats or pans In a warm, sunny, too wet or too 
dry place; choose a cool sunny corner where the soil is suffi- 
ciently moist at all times. 
Don’t take the bulbs into the greenhouse unless well rooted and 
the buds far enough advanced.
