CHINESE SACRED LILY. 



fSoy Sin Far, Joss Flower, or Flower of the Gods.) 



This is the A^arcissus Orieiittdis, and the variety grown bv Chin.imen 

 for decorating their temples or Joss-houses on their New Year's Day, 

 which occurs in February. For the most part they are grown in water in 

 fancy bowls, with just enough pebbles around them to keep them from top- 

 pling over. (See illustration.) 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 

 flower 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.
