^ TH E « 



Chinese Sacred or Oriental Narcissus. 



The " Shui Sin Far," or Water Fairy Flower, Joss Flower, or Flower of the Gods, 

 etc., as it is called by the Celestials, is a varietj' of Narcissus, bearing in lavish profusion 

 chaste flowers of silvery white, with golden yellow cups. They are of exquisite beauty 

 and entrancing perfume. It is grown by the Chinese, according to their ancient 

 customs, to herald the advent of their new year and as a symbol of good luck. 



The bulbs are grown by a method known only to themselves, whereby they attain 

 great size and vitality, ensuring luxuriant growth and immense spikes of flowers ; in 

 fact, the incredibly short time required to bring bulbs into bloom (four to six weeks 

 after planting) is one of the wonders of nature. " You can almost see them grow," suc- 

 ceeding almost everywhere and with everybody. They do well in pots of earth, but are 

 more novel and beautiful grown in shallow bowls of water, with enough of fancy 

 pebbles to prevent them from toppling over when in bloom. A dozen bulbs started at 

 intervals will give a succession of flowers throughout the winter. (See cut.) Price 

 (True Chinese Grown Bulbs, extra large), 12c. each, $1.25 per doz., $i.00 per 100.
