Narcissus Paper White Grandiflora. 
Grown in a bowl in water and pebbles. 
Chinese Sacred Lily. 
(Soy Sin Far, Joss Flower, or Flower of the Gods.) 
This is the A 'arcissus Orientalis , and the variety 
grown by Chinamen for decorating their temples or Joss- 
houses on their New Year’s Day, which occurs in Feb¬ 
ruary. For the most part they are grown in water in 
fancy bowls, with just enough pebbles around them to 
keep them from toppling over. They can also be grown 
in pots in soil, sand or moss. We annually import from 
China a large quantity of the finest quality bulbs, and if 
planted on arrival (about October 1st) they will flower 
by Christmas, and a succession of flowers can be had by 
making several plantings. The white and yellow flow¬ 
ers are borne in clusters, and are highly scented. Large 
bulbs , 10 cts. each ; 3 for 25 cts.; 90 cts. per doz. Orig¬ 
inal baskets, containing 30 bulbs, $2.00.
