Polyanthus Narcissus 



Beautiful free- flowering, deliciously sweet-scented flowers, of 

 the easiest culture; suitable for forcing or for growing in water

 tall spikes of bloom with from 6 to 20 flowers each. Bulbs 

 planted in the open border in November stand the winter with 

 protection.

Narcissus Paper White Grandiflora. 

 Grown in a bowl in water and pebbles. 



Polyanthus Narcissus. 



Chinese Sacred Lily. 



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



This is the Narcissus Orientalis, and is the variety 

 grown by Chinamen 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. 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 Octo- 

 ber 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. Liirf/e bulbs, 10 cts. each; 3 for 25 cts.; 

 90 cts. per doz. Original baskets, containing 30 bulbs, 

 $2.00. 

 If wanted by mail, add 3 cts. per bulb for postage.
