Chinese Sacred Lilies.—The Chinese Sacred Lily, or Sacred Lily of Japan.^is the Chinese emblem cf good luck. The Chinese Sacred Lily produces very large bulbs, measuring from 12 to 18 inches in circumference, which throw up from 5 to 10 flower sp kes'bearing clusters of 1-rge, perfect, waxy white blossoms, with yellow center of most delicious fragrance. They grow well in pots in a light and sandy so 1, but the most successful way of cul ivating is as the Chinese do—in water, as follows: Fil a glass or any kind of bowl wi h pebbles, small stones or coarse gravel, in which place the bulb, setting It about one-half if s depth so that it will be held firmly, then fill with water to the top of the pebbles and place it in a cool, sunny window. The bulb will at once commence a rapid growth and bloom in 3 to 5 weeks. The bulbs are so large and have so much vitality they can be kept dry all winter and be planted at any time when the flowers are de- sired. Bulbs are hardy and bloom well *i i the open ground, but their greatest value is for winter blooming. Alter blooming dur- ing the winter, th .-y should be planted in ihe open ground as early as in the spiing. It is the most easily gTown and satis- fac'ory bulb for house or wind jw culture that we know of, flowers freely and can be planted at any time from October until March. It seldom fails even wiih the most careless cultivators, and take all in all, the bulb is like the nation from which it comes—a re- markable one.
