CHINESE SACRED LILY {Narcissus Tazeita). 
DIRECTIONS FOR CULTURE IN BOWLS 
OR VASES. 
The bowl should be filled within half an inch of the 
top with clean pebbles mixed with a few pieces of char- 
coal ; into this plant the bulbs, and then fill the bowl 
with water just covering the pebbles, and add more from 
time to time as it evaporates or is absorbed. (Our 
Specially Prepared Fertiliser Fibre and Charcoal may be 
used instead of pebbles, if prefered.) 
Keep in a sunny window by day and on a table near 
the centre of the room by night, as frost destroys the 
flower buds. The ]dauts should not be kept in a room 
while gas is being burnt, as a too dry atmosphere Shrivels 
jip the flower bxids ; a diaughty situation must also be 
avoided. 
The more natural condiiions of a warm greenhouse 
will give the greatest success, and the plant, s can be 
removed from thence lo the sitting-room when in bloom. 
Should the flower stems get drawn and support is 
necessary, a piece of strong wire or a thin wooden stake 
may be inserted into the bulb, and the flower stems tied 
to it. 
For pot culture “The Sacred or Good Luck 
Lily” is admirably adapted, and can be flowered in a 
gijntle moist heat within thirty days after planting, 
provided abundance of moisture is given.

N.B. — The Chinese Sacred Lily sometimes produces double flowers. 
BORDER NARCISSI or DAFFODILS. 
These, like all other flowers we offer for sale, we grow in large quantities, and grow them 
well ; during their season of blooming they present a magnifloent sight, and we beg all lovers either 
to Inspect our stock of Bulbs or when in flower. The following and many other varieties will be 
objects of great beauty, and probably as good as can be seen at any exhibition. Like the Poly- 
anthus varieties, blooms of aU the following are Indispensable for cut flowers, and considering they 
will grow to perfection in almost any soil and any situation, with little or no attention after 
planting, and the cheapness of most varieties, they should be found in every garden.
