20 “BULBS FOR AUTUMN. PLANTING: S&S 
POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS.—— 
The Polyanthus varieties of Narcissus are not only beautiful but deli- 
ciously sweet-scented, and of the easiest culture, very free flowering and 
suitable for window garden, conservatory or garden, continuir long in 
bloom. They hear tall spikes of bloom, bearing from six to twenty-four 
flowers each. The pure white petals and gold cups of some varieties, the 
yellow with deep orange cups of others, and the self whites and yellows 
render them great favorites. They are not quite so hardy as the other 
types of Narcissus and therefore should be carefully protected in cold eli- 
mates when grown in the garden.

Paper White. ‘* Grandiflora’’ or Large Flowering. 
This large flowering type is such an improvement over 
the ordinary ‘‘ Paper White "’ that we have discontinued 
offering the latter. The ‘‘ Large Flowering "’ is more 
vigorous and earlier, producing purest snow white flow- 
ers of large size and good substance in large trusses. It 
is perhaps more largely used for early forcing for cut 
flowers than any other kind of bulb, being brought in 
without difficulty by Christmas, and if required even 
much earlier. If buyer pays transit at $16.00 per 1000.} .04 | .40 | 2.50

CHINESE SACRED NARCISSUS, 
CHINESE SACRED 
NARCISSUS. 
The ‘‘Shui Sin Far’ or Water Fairy Flower, 
Joss Flower, or Flower of the Gods, ete., as it is 
called by the Celestials, is a variety of Narcissus, 
bearing in lavish profusion chaste flowers of sil- 
very-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 
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 na- 
ture. ‘‘ You can almost see them grow,’ succeed- 
ing 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 fancy pebbles to prevent them from top- 
pling over when in bloom. A dozen bulbs started 
at intervals will give a succession of flowers 
throughout the winter. (See cut.) Price, large 
true China-grown bulbs, delivered free in U. S., 
12c. each, $1.25 per doz., $9.00 per 100. 
““ The Chinese Lily Bulbs I got of you a few weeks 
ago are one mass of blossoms, and are greatly ad- 
mired.” FRANK W. HILLS, 
Hoosick Falls, N. Y. 
“ The bulbs vou sent me last September arrived in 
splendid condition and I was more than pleased 
with them. The Chinese Sacred Narcissus bloomed 
in a few weeks. The Hyacinths are in bud and ald 
others are doing finely.”
