Hardy Amaryllis, Hallii AMARYLLIS HALLI (Magic Lily, or Lycoris Squamigera) For twenty years we have had growing in one of the hardy borders of our lawn a beautiful Amaryllis, which sends up tall flower scapes each year crowned with a ( luster of lai-Re lavender-pink blossoms. Lately we have found a source of supply in Japan, and have imported it in quantity lor several years, and it has ow become very popular. Its luxuriant foliage appears in the spring and' dies down in July. In August the tall flower scapes spring- from the ground like magic, bearing immense clusters of exquisite and Tragrant flowers. Our cut is a true photo or three bulbs showing twenty-four clusters of blooms. Perfectly hardy everywhere without protec- tion. Increases in >ize and beauty every year.
