This is a variety of Polyanthus Narcissus, grown by the Chinese, to bloom at the advent of their New Year, in February. By methods of culture, original with them, they succeed in growing large solid bulbs, that produce in lavish profusion delightfully fragrant satiny white flowers with deep golden yellow cups. They grow well, potted in light rich soil in the ordinary manner, but make most interest- ing and beautiful objects when flowered in shallow orna- mental bowls or vases containing water. Put an inch or two of sand or fine gravel in the bottom, on which place the bulb; place-enough pebbles around the bulb to keep it in an upright position, then fill with water so that about one inch of bottom of bulb is covered. Set in a dark room for a few days until the roots start freely, then bring to the light and keep in any ordinary living room. A dozen bulbs handled in this way, started at intervals, will give a suc- cession of bloom throughout the winter. 15c each; $ per doz. If ordered by ex- press, deduct 35c per Perfectly hardy garden bulbs; when once established they may be relied upon to grow and bloom for years. Each. Doz.
