Hardy Amaryllis 
(Lycoris Squami- 
A-4-MAGIC LILY gera). This devel- 
ops in a magical fashion that you will find most 
unusual. In the spring it has attractive green leaves 
which during July die down and disappear. Then 
four or five weeks later the flower walks develop, 
eed | charining clusters of large, lily-like blooms 
of soft lilac-pink. It is well to mark your plants with 
a stake so that after the leaves are gone you will 
not hoe up the bulbs. Cover the bulbs with about 
4 inches of soil; should be mulched in late fall.
