— CHINESE SACRED LILY.— 



(joss flower, or flower of the gods.) 



The Chinese Sacred Lily (Narcissus Orientalis) 

 is the variety grown by Chinamen for decorating 

 their temples or joss houses on their New Year's 

 Day. which occurs in February. They can be 

 readily brought into bloom by Christmas. It is 

 very easily handled, bears pure white flowers, 

 with a lemon or orange cup, and as it can readily 

 be brought into bloom when grown in water, it 

 will give a great deal of pleasure for a little outlay 

 of labor. 



10 cents each; by mail, 15 cents. 



85 cents per dozen; by mail, $1.20.

TULIPS 



FOR FORCING AND OPEN GROUND. 



There is an increasing' demand for Tulip?, especially La 

 Reine, Keizerkroon, Tellow Prince, Tournesol 

 and Chrysolora. and florists have made 

 money out of them. 



Add for postage on Tulips at the rate of 5 cents per 

 dozen when ordered to be sent by mail. 



We have given special attention to the selection 

 of our Tulips, and our collection is unusually fine, 

 embracing the choicest leading varieties . For 

 early forcing, the Due van Thol and early single 

 sorts are best. They should be started in Septem- 

 ber and treated the same as Hyacinths. Early in 

 November they may be removed into heat. The 

 greater part ought to be potted from the middle 

 of September to the end of October. For out- 

 door planting they should be set three to four 

 inches deep, and four to six inches apart, accord- 

 ing to the size of the bulb. A few bulbs planted 

 here and there produce but little effect, but when 

 planted in masses, or in small groups, they be- 



Oi coloring and picturesque effect almost 



come at once brilliant and grand, and surpass in 

 variety of 

 any other flower 



The letters A, B and C indicate earliness of 

 blooming". Those marked A are earliest, B 

 next, and then C. L stands for late.
