OOD LUCK. — Interesting Christmas 
Presents. 
G ood luck.—Chinese sacked 
LILIES.—The Chinese Sacred Lily is the Asiatic’s symbol 
of good luck. They can be seen in all the shops and houses of 
China and Japan. It is unquestionably of the Polyanth-Nareiss 
tribe, but unlike the varieties of this group known in Europe, 
the Chinese Sacred Lily produces very large bulbs, which throw 
up five to ten spikes of large and perfect waxy white blossoms, 
with a yellow centre, exquisitely perfumed. We offer Bulbs 
direct from the Higher Mountains of Northern China. Price, Is. 
each ; 10s. 6 d. per dozen, carriage free. 
Decorated Japanese Bowls for one bulb, pricels.; for 2 bulbs,2s.; 
for 3 bulbs, 2s. 6d. ; for 4 bulbs, 3s. 6<L ; for six bulbs, 4s. 6 d.
