THE SACRED, OR GOOD LUCK LILY of China and Japan. 
Called by the Chinese, ‘Jos Flower,’ or ‘Flower of the Gods,’ and ‘Water Fairy Flower.’ 
This is a species of Polyanthus Narcissus we annually import from Northern China, and is 
prized for the abundance of its flowers and marvellously rapid growth. The flowers are white, with yellow 
cup, and very fragrant ; they are mostly single, but a few doubles are sometimes found amongst them. 
Each bulb produces several flower spikes, bearing many flowers. In China and Japan the bulbs are grown 
in the living rooms in fancy bowls filled simply with pebbles and water, and the natives compete with one 
another in growing the finest specimens for their New Year’s Festival, successful culture being regarded as 
an emblem of ‘ Good Luck.’ The bulb in this country can be grown as successfully as in China, and it is 
most interesting to watch its rapid growth, which is somewhere about 20 inches in forty days ; place in a 
sunny window by day and on a table near the fireplace by night, as frost destroys the flower buds. The 
natural atmosphere of a warm greenhouse suits this flower well, and we can strongly recommend it to 
force for Christmas Qecoration. Fuller particulars of culture sent with the bulbs. Orders HOW 
booked for immediate delivery on arrival, which we expect to be early in October.
