This is the Narcissus Orichtalis, and is the variety 

 grown by Chinamen for decorating their temples or Joss- 

 houses on their New Year's Day, which occurs in Febi uai y. 

 For the most part they are grown in waler in fancy bowls, 

 with just enough pebbles around them to ktep them fr< m 

 toppling over. They can also be grown in pets in scit, 

 sand, prepared fibre or moss. We annually import frcni 

 China a large quantity of the finest quality bulbs, and if 

 planted on arrival (about Oclober Ist) they will flcwer by 

 Christmas, and a succession of flowers can be had by mak- 

 ing several plantings. The white and yellow floweis are 

 borne in clusters, and are highly scented. Lort/e hull it, 

 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz. Original baskets, containing
