HARDY AMARYLLIS 
Lycoris squamigera 
7648 Halli Leaves produced in early spring ripen 
and disappear i 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 flow- 
ers. Because of its unique habit of growth, it is often 
referred to as the Magic or Mystery Lily. For out- 
door 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 leavés die off, the 
flowering stems will not be injured by cultivation.
