 by the Chinese as an emblem of good luck and for dec- 

 orating their temples on New Year's Day, which comes 

 in February. It bears a profusion of silvery white 

 flowers wiih golden yellow cups which are exceedingly 

 fragrant. They.are of the easiest culture and will suc- 

 ceed in pots, grown like Hyacinths, but are more gen- 

 erally grown in water. Take a bowl, half fill it with 

 pebble stones, place one or more bulbs in the centre 

 pressed down among the stones and fill up with water 

 until almost covered. Put in a cool dark place until 

 roots and leaves have started, then bring to the window 

 and the flower buds will shortly appear; renew the 

 water from time to time and change it if it becomes 

 foul. A dozen bulbs, started at intervals, will give a 

 succession of fragrant flowers throughout the winter.
