TESTACEUM: This beautiful lily is also known 
as “Excelsum" and as the "Nankeen Lily." One 
of the choicest border lilies. The dull apricot 
tone, set off by orange anthers, puts it in a color 
class by itself. There is a tender warmth in the 
color of this charming lily. It is the most grace¬ 
ful of all. It often grows from 5 to 6 feet high 
when established, and the horizontally poised 
heads of drooping flowers wave in a breeze in a 
graceful way. It is beauitful for every kind of 
garden use but loses effect, because of its ten¬ 
der coloring, if planted in a mixed border with 
brighter flowers. In combination with light- 
shaded delphiniums or with the Madonna lily, 
which it resembles in the disposal of its leaves 
on the stem and in a certain grace of habit—it 
is most effective. It is also a good lily for pot 
culture. It has the texture of "Lilium Candidum," 
with reflexed petals. It does well under the 
same conditions as Candidum, and should be 
planted the same depth, two inches below the 
surface of the ground. Base-roots; fall planting 
only, 2 inches deep; June-July flowering. See 
illustration. Extra heavy selected bulbs, $1.75 
each; $15 for 10. Somewhat smaller, but good
