20 PETER HENDERSON & CO.—WHOLESALE LIST OF BULBS 
THE CHINESE SACRED NARCISSUS. 
The Chinese Sacred 
ot Oriental flarcissus. 
(A variety of Polyanthus 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 variety 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 custom, to herald the 
advent of their new year, and asa 
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 im- 
mense spikes of flowers; in fact, the 
incredibly short time required to 
bring the bulbs into bloom (four to 
six weeks after planting), is one of 
the wonders of nature. ‘‘ You can 
almost see them grow,” succeeding
