Chinese Sacred Lily. This is not, 
properly speaking, a Lily, but a Narcis- 
sus, with pure white flowers similar to 
the Paper White. Some years ago the 
bulbs of this variety were brought here 
by Chinamen and grown in dishes filled 
with pebbles and water where they 
bloomed to perfection, hence the name 
“Chinese Lily.” The word sacred has 
been added since, as it was supposed that 
this Narcissus was held sacred by the 
in their native country. The 
plant is of an easy culture and will bloom 
well if grown in dishes filled with water.

Freesia Refracta. 
Freesia Refracta. An excellent bulb- 
cus rooted plant for florists’ use. The 
tubular flowers are used for fine fioral 
work, and for such are even superior to 
Roman Hyacinths. The plant is quite 
hardy in our climate, as well adapted for 
out of doors as for pot culture; 2dc. per 
dozen. September till March. 
New Oxalis Buttercup. This neat liitle 
plant should not be missing in any col- 
lection of pot plants. Although it is not 
directly a pot, but a border plant, but it 
is so well adapted to pot culture and will 
grow especially well in a hanging vase 
or hanging basket, that it may well be 
classed among the pot plants. Its hang- 
ing habit and bright golden yellow flow- 
ers make it especially attractive. Being 
of an easy culture it is a good acquisi-
