Growing your business from the ground up since 1890

Dear Valued Customer,

If there is one thing we can say with certainty, it’s that every spring will present different chal-lenges. This past spring started later and was much cooler, kicking off the first week in May for many customers from the Midwest to the East Coast. Reports came in of record setting sales that week and of course the snow in Denver, Minnesota and Wisconsin delayed their start. Overall, it was a late start due to weather.

As you page through our 2014 Catalog, you will notice the addition of new product groups and featured venders. In addition to seed and plugs, the Henry F. Michell Company offers a full line of Greenhouse and Nursery products.

For our wholesale greenhouse customers, annual lines include: Geraniums, Green Fuse™ and Proven Winners. For the holidays we offer cyclamen, pelargonium and poinsettia rooted and un-rooted cuttings.

Our Retail Garden Center, wholesale nursery and landscape customers will receive material from the highest quality East and West Coast Nurseries that produce our container/B&B flowering plants, conifers and trees.

We are proud of our exclusive partners and programs. Our retail ready Flowering foliage from CLI and our Fruit, Citrus and Berry program from Duarte are ready to sell as soon as the product lands. When it comes to marketing, and engaging the future gardeners of tomorrow, the Fairy Flowers program has it all. Miniature ornamentals combined with the mystical land of the fairies, children and parents can create a world of intrigue through the beauty of plants.

The rapidly growing Green Fuse program is comprised of some of the best genetics in the world. The Sutera Betty™ series and Petunia Good & Plenty™ are certainly ones to order early. The new Green Fuse™ First Light™ perennial program list only first year flowering material with excellent flower power.

Michell’s recently added Koba Plastics to our exclusive line up. When it comes to a quality pres-entation, Koba makes the retail packaging complete. With a wide assortment of containers and hanging baskets across the color range that are all made in America.

As we approach our 125th anniversary in 2015, we send a special thanks to our strong vender partnerships that have allowed us the ability to deliver the highest possible quality material. To all of our loyal customers, some of whom we have serviced for over 60 years, we wish you the best of luck in 2014 and look forward to serving you and your business for many years to come.

Best regards and thank you again,

Henry F. Michell 4th

pAnsyCool Wave x. wittrockiana / spreadingThe best-performing spread-ing pansies on the market, proven in multi-year world-wide trials. Cool Wave has the most prostrate habit of any spreading pansy and makes incredibly unique and inspiring cool-season bas-kets that trail up to 30”. It’s also a great spiller in mixed combos and creates a quick, high-impact groundcover that spreads up to 2’. It has the most vigor of any spreading pansy, so less plants per pot are needed. Blooms hold up well in rain and weather better

than large-flowered types. Flowers early spring , autumn, winter and late summer. Due to the superior overwinter-ing hardiness, it is the earliest pansy to return in the Spring. Height 6 - 8”. Width 24 - 30”. Plant in full sun. Hardiness Degree -20°F. (Primed)

Note: Thoroughly wet flats before placing in germinator. This is especially important when using pelleted seed. For the next 7-10 days keep soil moist to further aid germination. Then allow plugs to dry between watering, feeding constantly. Maintain soil pH below 6.8 to avoid iron deficiency.

If grown for mature plants to be sold in the fall-a difficult time for violas, shade and misting can keep plants cool. Keeping soil on the dry side and a low phosphorus charge will reduce stretching.
