CULTURAL DIRECTIONS: Contrary to the general belief Azalea Mollis do not require an acid soil. Mixing a lib- 
eral amount of organic matter such as peat moss or leafmold with soil in planting holes will help in achieving 
the best results. To insure maximum bloom each year, remove the faded flowers before they go to seed. Do not 
cultivate deeply as Azaleas root close to the surface of the soil. For superior results feed with Miracid soil 
acidifier. (See page 4 of center insert).

MAGIC LILY OF THE ORIENT ! 
HARDY AMARYLLIS 
(Lycoris Squamigera) 
Among the rarest, the most beautiful garden subjects, The bulbs 
produce attractive, long leaves in early spring, which mature 
and die down during the summer. As if by magic, the flower 
spike suddenly appears in August and produces very pretty soft- 
pink, Lily-like flowers. Several flowers are clustered on the tall, 
stiff stems which grows as high as 3 feet! These bulbs are per- 
fectly hardy and will grow in any average, well-drained garden. 
Plant the bulbs in a sunny location about 12 inches apart and 
cover with 3 inches of soil. A perfect location for them is in the 
perennial border where the leaves of other plants can cover the 
bare spot which is left when the foliage withers. In that way, the 
beauty of these rare flowers can be enhanced by foliage from nearby plants. Lycoris is seldom 
seen in American gardens and always attracts a good deal of attention when in bloom.
