7648 Halli Leaves produced in early spring ripen 
and disappear in June or July. About a month later, 
as if by magic, stalks 2 to 3 ft. tall appear crowned 
with a whorl of 8 to 12 lavender-pink, lily-like flowers. 
Because of its unique habit of growth, it is often re- 
ferred to as the Magic or Mystery Lily. For outdoor 
planting only. Nice for cutting. Hardy amaryllis do 
well in any good, well-drained garden soil, in a sunny 
location. Plant bulbs not less than 10 in. apart and 
cover firmly with 5 in. of soil. When the plant is in 
foliage, we suggest that you place a marker near it so 
that when the leaves die off, the flowering stems will 
not be injured by cultivation.

BURPEE’S GRASS SEED for Fall Sowing 
The best time to start your lawn, or to repair it, is during the cool weather of early fall. At this time the weather is favorable for 
the development of domestic grass but unfavorable for most weeds and wild annual grasses. Why not plan now to have a luxuriant lawn 
that will add so much to the beauty of your home? For new lawns, sow 1 lb. of grass seed to 200 sq. ft.; 100 to 150-1bs. per acre. To im- 
prove old lawns, half these quantities should be sufficient. We offer several different mixtures for various purposes.
