this variety were brought here by China- 
men and grown in dishes filled with pebbles 
and water where they bloomed to perfec- 
tion, hence the name “Chinese Lily.” The 
word sacred has been added since, as it 
was supposed that this Narcissus was held 
sacred by the Chinese in their native 
country. The plant is of an easy culture 
and will bloom well if grown in _ dishes 
filled with water. 10c. each. September 
till March. 
CALLA ZTHEOPICA.—Lily of the Nile. 
As a Winter blooming bulbous rooted pot 
plant there is hardly anything to come up 
to the beautiful Calla Lily. The plant, 
which is of an easy culture, will bloom in 
the green-house as well as in a room near 
the window, or even on the veranda, as 
long as it is kept frost free. It may also 
be grown in a fish-pond or tank in a green- 
house and produce its large pure white 
flowers. Bulbs should be potted in the 
months of October, November, December 
and January, and may be had to bloom 
from Christmas to March; 20c. each; $2.00 
per dozen.

ture, requiring the same treatment as the 
White Calla, and blooms equally as freely.
