ni Tf nO For Outdoor Spring Planting 
D vJ JLi O O and Indoor Winter Planting 
Everyone succeeds in growing flowers from bulbs, and with very little care excellent results may be ob¬ 
tained. The hardy bulbs, when once planted, will live outdoors for years without being disturbed. The most 
of the tender varieties, if taken up and given a period of rest, may be re-planted each year and, handled in 
this way, the previous year ’a display will be repeated. A good supply of bulbs may be obtained at very little 
expense. Directions for planting go with each order, for bulbs.

HARDY AMARYLLIS 
or Magic Lily 
Hardy Amaryllis or Magic Lily 
Hardy Out of Doors 
All Winter 
This bulb, known botanically as Amarlyllis Halli, or 
Lycoris Squamigera, is a native of Japan and one of the 
most interesting members of the Amaryllis family. It pro¬ 
duces attractive green foliage in the spring which dis¬ 
appears in midsummer. About a month later, as if by 
magic, the flower stalk appears, bearing a cluster of 7 to 
12 fragrant lily-shaped flowers of delicate lilac-pink, 
shaded blue. 
The Hardy Amaryllis is perfectly hardy in the northern 
states, where it may be left in the ground year after year 
unmolested. As the bulbs are very scarce, we have only a 
limited supply and suggest that orders be placed as early 
as possible. Price, $1.00 each, postpaid.
