Hello, Spring! It may be off to a chilly start, but spring is here and blooms are sure to follow. We're getting the jump on those early spring flowers this week with a page from the Henry F. Michell Company's Fall 1945 catalog.
The still-operating and still family-owned horticultural business was founded in Philadelphia in 1890 by Swedish immigrants, the brothers Henry and Frederick J. Michell.
The catalog is part of Hagley Library's collection of trade catalogs. You can view it, as well as other publications from the Henry F. Michell Company, online in our Digital Archives by clicking here.
