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, annually imported from Northern China, and prized for the abun- 
dance of its flowers and marvellously rapid growth. The flowers are white, with yellow cup, and very fragrant. 
F-irh bulb usually produces several flower spikes, eacli bearing many flowers, and the Chinese call the best culti- 
vated and largest developed blooms, " Grand Emperor.” In China and Japan the bulbs are grown m 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, and successful culture is regarded as an emblem ol "Good 
Luck " The bulb in this country can be grown as successfully as in China, and it is most interesting to watch 
growth, which is something like 20.inches in forty days in a sunny window by day, and on a table near 
die firenlace by night, as frost destroys the flower buds. The natural atmosphere of a warm greenhouse suits 
the flower well. Fuller particulars of culture sent with the bulbs. Orders now booked for immediate 
delivery on arrival. s d

SWEET-SCENTED JONQUILS. 
The Double and Single Jonquils are prized for their graceful sweet-scented flowers in or out of doors. 
'For in-door decoration three to six bulbs should be grown in a 4 or 5-inch pot, and cultivated the same as the 
Hyacinth in all respects, whether for early flowering or succession. If planted out-doors and treated the same as 
hardy Daffodils, a long succession of these sweet-scented flowers for room decoration may be maintained, per doz.
