THE CHINESE SACRED 
LILY, 
or Oriental Narcissus (Chinese Grown). 
A variety of Polyanthus Narcissus, bear¬ 
ing in lavish profusion, chaste flowers of 
silvery white, with golden yellow cups; 
they are of exquisite beauty and entranc¬ 
ing perfume. It is grown by the Chinese 
according to their ancient custom, to 
herald the advent of their new year, and | 
as a symbol of good luck. 
The bulbs are grown by a method known 
only to themselves, whereby they attain 
great size and vitality, insuring luxuriant 
growth and immense spikes of flowers; in 
fact, the incredibly short time required to . 
bring the bulbs into bloom (four to six 
weeks after planting) is one of the won¬ 
ders of nature. “You can almost see them 
grow,” succeeding almost everywhere and 
with everybody. They do well in pots of 
earth, but are more novel and beautiful 
grown in shallow bowls of water, with 
Narcissus Paper White Grandiflora.
