Chinese Sacred Lily. This is not. 

 properly speaking, a Lily, but a Narcissus, 

 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'sa*- 

 cred by the Chinese in their native countr}^.

 bloom well if grown in dishes filled with 

 water; 15c. each; $1.50 per dozen.

 seph Lily. This variety, an old stand-by

 ing basket; that it may well be classed 

 among the pot plants. Its hanging habit
