Michells Relialle Bulls for Qall Planting 
IMPORTANT NOTICE. We call attention to the fact that Easter in 1949 comes on April 17th, 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-size 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 indicote their relative time of blooming, the E’s being the earliest to bloom. The figures indicate the normal height in inches. 
Tulip bulbs are packed 250 in a bag; please order in units of this number if possible.
