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 them- selves, whereby they attain great size and vitality, ensuring 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 pebblss to prevent them from toppling over when in bloom. A dozen bulbs started at intervals will give a succession of flowers through the winter. (See cut.) We are importing direct from China immense bulbs of the true large flowering variety. Price, 10c. each; per doz. If to be sent by mail, add 2c, per bulb or 25c. per dozen to cover poMag', Glass Bo'wls for Cbiaese I^ilies (See page 20.)
