Chinese Sacred Lily Soy Sin Far, Joss Flower, or Flower of the Gods This is the Narcissus Orientalis, and is the variety grown by Chinamen for decorating their temples or Joss houses on their New Year's Day, which occurs in February. For the most part 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 bulb fibre, and if planted on arrival (about October 1st) they will flower by Christmas, and a succession of flowers can be had by making several plantings. The white and yellow flowers are borne in clusters, and are highly scented. Large Bulbs, 15 cts.
