CHINESE NEW YEAR’S LILY. 
(Narcissus Orientalis.) 
Popularly known as the Chinese Sacred Lily, is a 
Narcissus of the Polyanthus type, and isan admirable 
bulbous plant for house culture. It can be planted 
any time from November to March, and produces 
beautiful waxy white fragrant flowers in great pro- 
fusion a little over a month after planting, Place the 
bulbs in a bowl or dish as shown in the annexed 
illustration, with an inch of fine gravel in the bot- 
tom, and enough pebbles or marble chips to hold the 
bulbs upright, then fill the bowl about one-half with 
iukewarm water, and place it in a window or on a 
table,or any place to suit the purpose. The water 
should be renewed about oncea week, or as often 
as it evaporates. The bulbs are of good size, and 
each one throws out four to six flower spikes. No 
plant that we know of gives so much satisfaction for 
the trouble. During the winter months, when flow- 
ers are so scarce it blooms profusely, and is most 
desirable for house decoration. Deservedly one of 
the most popular plants for house culture. Should 
be in every home. 
Price, 15 cents each ; $1.50 per dozen.

CHINESE NEW YEAR’S LILY. 
THE CROCUS. 
Is one of the earliest and prettiest spring flowering bulbs. It 
thrives in almost any garden, but does best in a light, rich, 
damp soil. They should be planted in September and October, 
about three inches deep and two inches apart. No plant is 
better adapted for clumps, lines, masses and beds. By judicious 
planting, the most striking effects can be produced. Each 
color should be in a line or row by itself, and the colors on 
with it. The clumps should consist of six, twelve or twenty, 
For bordersand edgings, the Crocus is also well suited. They
