POLYANTHUS NARCISSI, CHINESE SACRED LILY, AND JONQUILS. 
POLYANTHUS, OR BUNCH FLOWERED NARCISSI, 
FOR POT-CULTURE, FLOWER BEDS, BORDERS, RUSTIC BASKETS, FLOWER BOXES, ETC. 
The Polyanthus Narcissus has rich golden-yellow or snow-while sweet-scented '/lowers, and is specially 
adapted for winter and spring decoration in pots and jardinets. The effect is greatly enhanced when three bulbs 
are grown together in a 6 or 7-inch pot. The culture is the same as that of the Hyacinth. 
Where flowers arc in demand in November , December , and early in January, the Paper White and Double 
Roman Narcissi are invaluable. Pot them early in autumn, and when well rooted commence forcing as required. 
Thus treated, these and the Homan Hyacinths [see page 6), can be had in bloom from November.

THE SACRED 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, imported annually 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. 
Each bulb usually produces several flower spikes, each bearing many flowers, and the Chinese call the best culti- 
vated and largest developed, " Grand Emperor." 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, and successful culture is regarded as an emblem of “ Good Luck." 
1 he bulb in this country can be grown as successfully as in China, and it is most interesting to watch its rapid 
growth, something hke2o.inches in forty days 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 the flower well. 
Fuller particulars of culture sent with the bulbs. Ordeis now booked for immediate delivery on arrival.

SWEET-SCENTED JONQUILS. 
The Double and Single Jonquils are prized for their graceful sweet-scented flowers in or out cf 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, for early flowering and succession. Planted out-doors treat the same as hardy 
Daffodils, and thus a long succession of sweet-scented flowers for room decoration is maintained. pcr do/
