Magic Flower 
Lycoris Squamigera 
A Japanese Floral Aristocrat 
When we say the Lycoris belongs to the 
stately Amaryllis family we place it in the 
class of floral aristocrats. It comes to us 
from Japan, and is not only peculiar and 
odd in its habit of growth, but is positively 
distinct from any other Lily in its beauti¬ 
ful large pink flowers. In early spring it 
sends up its attractive strap-leaf foliage, 
which grows until late in July, when it 
ripens off and disappears, and one urffa- 
miliar with the plant would naturally 
think it had died. About a month later, 
the flower stalks spring like magic out of 
the bare ground, and rising to the height 
of two to four feet, develop an umbel of 
large Lily-shaped flowers from six to fif¬ 
teen in number, of a delicate lilac-pink 
shaded with clear blue. The first flower 
to open retains its beautiful coloring and 
shape until long after the last bud on the 
stem is open. It is perfectly hardy and 
succeeds in ordinary garden soil. The 
bulbs arc large and acclimated to this 
country, having been grown for several 
years in the vicinity of Rochester. The 
engraving presented herewith shows 
them in full bloom. It is the best intro¬ 
duction in the Lily class in many years. 
This Lycoris was imported from Japan a 
number of years ago, and grown here by 
Mr. E. Huftclen of Le Roy, N. Y., who 
for years has been prominent in Horticul¬ 
ture, making the improvement and hybrid¬ 
ization of Lilies a specialty Each, 50 
cents; per dozen, $5.00.
