OR JOSS FLOWER 



The flowers of this variety of Polyan- 

 thus are of a satiny white color with 

 golden yellow cups. The dark green 

 foliage is exceedingly luxuriant and 

 beautiful. It is the sort grown by the 

 Chinese from time immemorial to dec- 

 orate their sacred temples or Joss Houses, 

 on their New Year's day. By methods of 

 culture original to them, they succeed in 

 growing large, solid bulbs, which produce 

 a profusion of bloom in an incredibly 

 short time, usually not more than four to 

 six weeks from the time of planting. 

 This splendid flower increases in popu- 

 larity every year, and immense quanti- 

 ties of bulbs are annually imported into 

 this country. 



Culture.— Being partially aquatic, this 

 plant must have" plenty of water. If 

 grown in earth the soil should be light 

 and sandy. Chinese Lilies are usually 

 grown in vases or dishes of water. Put 

 an inch or two of sand and gravel in the 

 dish in which they are to be grown, set 

 the bulbs on this and put enough gravel 



around them to keep them from falling 

 over; fill the dish with water and set in a 

 dark closet for a few days until the roots 

 start freely, then bring them to the light 

 and keep m any ordinary living room. A 

 dozen bulbs started this wa}- at inter^^als 

 will give a succession of bloom through- 

 out the winter. 



Tlie Chinese Idly bulbs offered by us ore large, 

 solid and well matured. They can be relied 

 upo7i to be the true Chinese, which are superior 

 to those groivn elsewhere.
