The Chinese residents OF this CITY. to
. man and to woman, are now dill
gently engaged in cultivating what APP
pears to be their national flower; GER
tainly flower loved BY that nationali-
ty. II springs from bulb somewhat
resembling an onion, and has leaves
resembling those Of the wild fiag found
in swamps. From the top of i stem
rising through the tuft of leaves are put
forth considerable number OF bios
SONS somewhat resembling small lilies.
No soil is required in the cultivation Of
these flowers. All that is necessary Il
TO place the bulbs in shallow earthen
vessel and pile small fragments Of rock
about them and then keep them well
watcred. The Chinese plant them in
season TO have them bloom on their new
year. The bulbs are all brought from
China The Chinese say that there is
but one place in China where they grow
wild and naturally. The Chinese not
only love the flower themselves, but are
also pleased To see it growing in the
houses Of their employers. They say II
will only grow and blossom well from
the good, and have many superstitious
notions in regard to Il. The Chinese
laundrymen frequently present these
plants To their customers, and Mt every
visit after they have seen them proper
~ planted stop TO trim them and give
them some little attention. To forbid
the importation Of these bulbs would
probably drive all the Cinnamon out OF
the country. 1t might be tried ii all
other means fail. TO deprive "John- Of
his beloved lily would surely make him
quite sick At heart. -- Virginia Cify
