LYCORIS (Magic Lily) 
Unique bulbs of the Amaryllis family and native 
to Japan and China. The strap-like leaves appear 
early in the spring and die in June. The bulbs 
usually bloom in the late summer or early autumn, 
appearing suddenly and in a few days attains a 
height of two feet or more .which doubtless ac¬ 
counts for the name. A large clump of these 
flowers in full bloom is a magnificent sight. The 
bulb receives a severe shock when transplanted, 
therefore does not often bloom until the second 
season after planting. For the best blossoms it 
is necessary that the leaves grow for as long as 
possible and die back naturally. While the variety 
“Squamigera” is reported hardy, even in the 
eastern states, it is advisable to plant all in a 
protected location and cover with a good mulch 
during the winter months. Should not be dis¬ 
turbed for years.
