CHINESE SACRED LILY. 
(Soy Sin Far, Joss Flower, or Flower of the Gods.) 
This is the Warctssus Orientalis, and the variety grown by Chinamen 
for decorating their temples or Joss-houses on their New Year’s Day, 
which occurs in February. For the most part they are grown in water in 
fancy bowis, with just enough pebbles around them to keep them from top- 
pling over. (See illustration.) They can also be grown in pots in soil, 
sand or moss. Weannually import from China a large quantity of the 
finest quality bulbs, and if planted on arrival (about October Ist) they will 
flower by Christmas, and a succession of flowers can be had by making 
several plantings. The white and yellow flowers are borne in clusters, and 
are highly scented. Large bulbs, 10 cts. each; 3 for 25 cts.; 90 cts. per 
doz. Original baskets, containing 30 bulbs, $2.00.
