THE SACRED, OR GOOD LI CK LILY OF CHINA AXD JAPAN. 
Called by the Chinese, “ Jos Flower,” or 41 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 ; 
they are mostly single, but a few doubles are sometimes found amongst them. Each bulb usually 
produces several flower spikes, bearing many flowers, and the Chinese call the best cultivated and 
largest developed blooms, “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, 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 ; grow 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 Decoration. Fuller 
particulars of culture sent 7 vith the bulbs. Orders now booked for immediate delivery on arrival, which is 
usually about the end of September. g ^
