CHINESE SACRED LILY, or JOSS FLOWER. 



Narcissus Tazette Var. 



This wonderful variety of Narcissus has been grown for ages by the Chinese, -who have adopted it as their 

 flower of good luck. They endeavor to bring it into bloom on the day of their New Year, believing that good 

 luck will follow during the year. Whether this is true or not, the sweet and luxuriant sprays of blossom are 

 always a pleasant and welcome ornament to the sitting-room. By means unknown to us, the Chinese grow their 

 Sacred Lilies to such immense size and strength that they are certain to bloom within 20 to 30 days after plant- 

 ing under the most ordinary conditions. If grown in earth, give each bulb a seven inch pot of common garden 

 soil, water well, and place in a dark place until the leaves start, then bring to the window and the flower buds 

 will shortly appear. To flower them in water, select a suitable vessel, place the bulb in the center and fill in 

 with coarse sand or gravel, until the bulb is well anchored and add water until almost covered, place in a moder- 

 ately cool situation by a window, renew the water from time to time, and change it if it becomes foul. Sacred 

 Lilies are sure to succeed in any situation; but the blooms are more lasting when grown in earth than in water. 



If ordered by express at purchaser's expense, deduct 25c. from the dozen price.

ARUM. 



Dracunculus. When in leaf and flower exceedingly

 inches, with handsome palm-like leaves and has its 

 stem or main stalk beautifully and curiously marbled 

 and spotted with purple upon a brown ground. The 

 flowers are purple, brown and blue, and are a foot long. 

 Ea., 15c; doz., $1.50. 

 Sanctum. (See Black Calla). 



ANEMONE. 



"The fairy formed, bright hued Anemone, with its 

 fair sisters, called by country people Fair Maids o' 

 the Spring." 



Bright and dainty is the Anemone, but scarcely 

 hardy enough for fall planting out of doors north of 

 the latitude of Washington ; but are very satisfactory 

 for pot culture in the house during winter — coming 

 to perfection in a low temperature. For outdoor plant- 

 ing at the North, put the bulbs in a dry place where 

 they will not freeze, and plant as early in the spring as 

 the ground can be worked, placing the root-like tubers 

 two inches deep and four or five inches apart. They 

 should always be planted in groups to produce a mass 

 of bright color, and when thus planted they are most 

 effective. 



Fulffens. A distinct species, producing rich, dazzling 

 scarlet flowers and beautiful foliage. Useful for cut- 

 ting as the flowers last a long time, when placed in 

 water. Ea., 4c; doz., 35c. 

 Single Flowered. Mixed colors. Ea., 3c; doz., 25c. 

 Double Flowered. Mixed colors. Ea., 3c; doz., 25c. 



BULBOCODIUM VERNUM.

 like it flowering in early spring. The blossoms are of a 

 rich violet color and exceedingly showy. Ea., 4c; doz., 

 30c; 100, $2.25.
