Chinese Sacred Lily- 



(Soy Sin Far, Joss Flower, or Flower of the Gods.) 



This is the Narcissus Oriental-is, 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 fancy 

 bowls, with just enough pebbles around them to keep 

 them from toppling over. They can also be grown in pots 

 in soil, sand or moss. We annually import from China a 

 large quantity of the finest quality bulbs, and if planted on 

 arrival (about October 1st) they will (lower by Christmas, 

 and a succession of flowers can be had by making several 

 plantings. The white and yellow flowers are borne in 

 clusters, and are highly scented. large bulbs, 10 cts. 

 each ; 3 for 25 cts.; 90 cts. per doz. Original baskets, 

 containing 30 bulbs, $2-00.
