JOSS FLOWERS OR CHINESE LILIES 
Maud E. Hulbert 
THESE flowers, though no doubf narcissus, are called in the 
West either "Joss Flowers" or "Chinese Lilies/' because 
they are imported by the Chinamen for the altars they erect 
on their New Year's day. They grow quantities of them in 
shallow pools filled with stones; the bulb rests on the stones. 
It is considered very lucky to have the flowers double and very 
unfortunate if they do not blossom by New Year's d^y. 
The flower is white with yellow in the center. Use Deep 
Blue Green, Brown Green, Warm Grey, Lemon Yellow and a 
little Orange Red. The leaves are a blueish green, use Moss 
Green J., Brown Green, Deep Blue Green, YeUow Green and 
Shading Green. 
Copenhagen Blue would be a good ground for a vase or 
any tall piece having the leaves coming out of a very dark 
blue at the bottom, and Copenhagen Grey for the ground at 
the top.
