This is the Narcissus Orientalis, and the variety 

 grown by Chinamen for decorating their temples or Joss- 

 houses on their New Year's Day, which occurs in Feb- 

 ruary. For the most part they are grown in water in

 keep them from toppling over. They can also be grown 

 in pots in soil, sand or moss. We annually import from.
