THE CHINESE SACRED EIEY 
Or ORIENTAL NARCISSUS (Chinese Grown) 
A variety of Polyanthus Narcissus, bearing, in lavish profusion, chaste flowers 
of silvery white, with golden yellow cups; they are of exquisite beauty and en¬ 
trancing 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 wonders 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 enough fancy pebbles to prevent them from toppling over 
when in bloom. A dozen bulbs started at intervals will give a succession of 
flowers through the winter. 
We are importing direct from China immense bulbs of the true large flowering 
variety. Price 10 cts. each, $1.00 |>er dozen. 
If ordered by mail, add 5 cts. per bulb or 30 cts. per dozen, for postage.
