CHINESE SACRED LILY 
Outdoor Culture: Plant bulbs 4 to 5 inches deep, 8 to 12 inches apart. 
A species of Polyanthus Narcissus introduced from China. The bulbs are large, measuring 8 to 
| inches in circumference, and throw up from five to ten flower spikes, bearing clusters of large, perfect, 
■ waxy blossoms, with yellow centers and having a most delicious fragrance. They may be grown in 
pots, but are most successful when cultivated in water the same as in China. A dozen bulbs planted 
at intervals in bowls with enough gravel to hold them upright will give a profusion of bloom during 
the winter months. Large bulbs, 10c each; $1.00 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 
POLYANTHUS NARCISSI 
PAPER-WHITE GRANDIFLORA. This is the most satisfactory bulb that can be 
( grown in the house for winter blooming. Bulbs placed in a bowl in water and 
pebbles will bloom in from 6 to 8 weeks from time of planting, and are superior 
to Chinese Lilies. The flowers are larger, more attractive in color, and very fra' 
grant. A very unique and simple way to grow this variety of Narcissus is to place 
six to eight bulbs in a shallow glass or china bowl in water, supporting the bulbs 
with pebbles or gravel as you would the Chinese Lily, and place the bowl in the 
dark until the roots have started, when you should bring them to the light. The 
water requires changing occasionally to keep it pure. Do not add cold water; see 
that it is slightly warm. Plant any time in September or October, they can be 
easily brought into flower by Christmas. They can also be planted later to provide 
a succession of bloom. Bulbs, 5c each; 50c per doz.; $3.50 per 100. 
Outdoor Culture: Plant bulbs 4 to 5 inches deep, 6 to 8 inches apart.

$1.00 per doz.; $7.50 per 100.
