*Halli (Lycoris squamigera) Each $0.65, Doz. $6.50 
Produces in early spring attractive green foliage which grows until July

of a delicate lilac-pink shade. The bulb is perfectly hardy; must be 
planted in fall. Cover crown about 4 inches. 
(Half-Hardy—Must Have Protection) 
These popular flowers of French origin are exceedingly brilliant when in 
flower and excellent for cutting. They like to be planted about 6 inches deep 
in a cool, moist but well-drained soil. Will establish without any trouble 
and remain for years. For northern states we advocate early spring plant¬ 
ing, for the southern section of the country, fall planting is best. Cover in 
winter with strawy manure.

The colors vary from gentian-blue to wine-purple. They reach a height 
of about 8 to 10 inches. For northern climates they should be grown 
like the Freesia for conservatory decorations, but in mild climates they 
may be used in the rockery or border, where they make magnificent 
brilliant masses of color.

but stiff naked stems bearing a head of waxy flowers of great lasting 
quality. Their culture is the same as for Narcissus and just as easy as for 
that flower. They are easily naturalized in almost any soil. Plant them 
about 3 inches deep and leave them alone. They are especially happy 
under oak and deciduous trees, in the rock garden, or in rough, gritty soils.
