PARTICULARLY SUITED FOR POT 
PLANTS, 
CULTURE.

similar to that of the Hyacinths in pots, and will bloom freely in soil, moss, or water. They may be planted outdoors from September to 
March in a rich damp soil and shady situation, and protected in winter. All may be grown in pots, but Double Roman and Paper 
White are the earliest, and if potted early and forced gradually will flower about Christmas, Where a plentiful supply of cut bloom 
is required successional pottings may be made to the end of the year.

THE TRUE CHINESE SACRED NARCISSUS. 
(Oriental Lily, Joss Flower, or “Water Fairy Flower.’’ 
These Bulbs are Imported from China, and usually arrive in October or November. 
This is a variety of Polyanthus Narcissus that has been cultivated in China for generations, and is called by the natives" Joss Flower,” 
or “ Flower of the Gods,” and universally grown by them in shallow bowls of various shapes. Put about an inch of sand or clean 
gravel in the bowls, on which place the bulbs, then surround with pebbles to prevent them falling over when in flower, and fill up 
with water. Keep in a cool place until rooted, which will be in about ten days ; afterwards remove to a sunny position, taking care 
that frost does not reach them. The flowers are very fragrant, pure white, with yellow cup, and are borne in clusters on stiff spikes, 
some bulbs showing as many as seven to ten spikes. If kept bountifully supplied with water when growing they come into flower in a 
remarkably short space of time, requiring only six to eight weeks from the time the bulbs are planted. They may also be grown 
successfully in pots, treated similarly to Hyacinths.

Mr. Robert Keightley, The Gardens, “ Alderside,” Dringhouses, York. — " All the Bulbs with which you supplied us last 
autumn have produced excellent results, and have been very much admired ; in (act, we have never previously had such fine 
blooms. The Lilacs and Azalea Mollis also were exquisite.”
