The Chinese Sacred or Oriental Narcissus. 



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

 the Gods, etc., as its is called by the (Celestials, is a variety of Narcissus, 

 bearing in lavish profusion chaste flo-wers of silvery -white, with golden yel- 

 low cups. They are c f exquisite beauty and entrancing perfume. It is grown 

 by the Chinese, according to their ancient customs, to herald the advent of 

 they 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, ensuringluxuriant 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," succeeding almost everywhere and with 

 everybody. They do well in pots of earth, but are more novel and beauti- 

 ful grown in shallow bowls of water, with enough of fancy pebbles to pre- 

 vent them from toppling over when in bloom. A dozen bulbs started at 

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