Narcissus Paper White Geandiflora

Polyanthus Narcissus 



Chinese Sacred Lily 



Soy Sin Far, Joss Flower, or Flower of the Gods 



This is the Ahircissus Orienialis, and is 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 bowls, 

 with just enough pebbles around them to keep them from 

 toppling over. They can also be grown in pots in soil, 

 sand or bulb fibre. Importations of these bulbs from China 

 was prohibited during the war, but we expect to receive 

 our usual supply this year, and if planted on arrival (about 

 October 1st) they will flower by Christmas, and a suc- 

 cession of flowers can be had by making several plantings. 

 The white and yellow flowers are borne in clusters, and 

 are highly scented. Large Bulbs, 20 cts. each; $1.75 

 per doz. Original baskets, containing 30 bulbs, $4.00.
