DOUBLE CHRYSANTHEMUM-FLOWERED ANEMONES. 
These are the finest of all the Double Anemones, petals regularly 
imbricated like those of the Chrysanthemum-flowered Aster. 
They are quite hardy and easily cultivated ; the treatment of the 
ordinary double Anemones suits them well. 
Of great value for forcing, for cut flowers, and for bedding ; if planted 
in succession they can be had in bloom nearly all the year round.

CHINESE SACRED LILY. 
(Narcissus Tazetta.) 
They may be grown either in soil in pots or water in a vase, but the 
latter method is to be preferred, as it lends itself more readily to artistic 
arrangement, and the bulbs bloom much earlier. They should be treated 
in the same way as Hyacinths, and can be planted at any time between 
October and March. 
The flowers are exquisitely perfumed, and of a clear white colour, with 
bright yellow cup. 
Each bulb sends np Bix or more strong spikes, and in a moderately cool 
room will bloom in about eight or ten weeks from the time of planting. 
Each, Gd. ; per doz., 5s. 
We have imported a limited quantity of specially decorated Japanese 
bowls, as used in Japan for the cultivation of the Chinese Sacred Lily, which 
we can supply at the following prices so long as unsold.
