Chinese Sacred Narcissus. THE " Shui Sin Far" or Water Fairy Flower. Joss Flower, or Flower of the Gods, etc., as it is called by the Celestials, is a variety of 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 theChinese, accordingto th0ir ancient customs, 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 themselves, where- by they attain great size and vitality, ensuring luxuriant growth and immense spikes of flowers; In fact, the incredibly short time required to bring bulbs into bloom (four to six weeks after planting) is one of the wonders of nature.

They do well in pots of earth, but are more novel and beautiful grown in shallow bowls of water, with enough fancy pebbles to prevent them from toppling over when in bloom. A dozen
