Polyanthus Narcissus 
A very decorative class of bulbous plants for greenhouse and window cultivation, but not hardy 
out-of-doors in our climate. They produce enormous trusses of delicately fragrant flowers varying 
in color from snowy white to deep yellow. Treat the bulbs in the same manner as noted for Hya¬ 
cinths, except that the bulbs should be set half an inch deeper in the soil. They may be easily and 
quickly forced ; our florists frequently have them in bloom by Thanksgiving.

The Chinese Sacred Lily 
(Soy Sin Far, Joss Flower,

ety grown by Chinamen for decorating their tem¬ 
ples or Joss-houses on their New Year’s Day,

Polyanthus Narcissus

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 succes¬ 
sion of flowers can be had by making several 
plantings. The white and yellow flowers are 
borne in clusters, and are highly scented. Large 
bulbs, ea. 10c., 3 for 25c., doz. 80c. Original
