Chinese Sacred Lily 



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



This is the Narcissus Orientalis, and is the variety 

 grown by Chinamen for decorating their temples or Joss- 

 houses on their New Year's Day, which occurs in Febru- 

 ary. 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, prepared fibre or moss. We annually import 

 from China a large quantity of the finest quality bulbs, and 

 if planted on arrival (about October 1st) they will flower 

 by Christmas, and a succession of flowers can be had by 

 making several plantings. The white and yellow flowers 

 are borne in clusters, and are highly scented. Large 

 bulbs, 12 cts. each; $1.25 per doz. Original baskets, 

 containing 30 bulbs, $:!.50.
