bust, and a floriferous hybrid of this type, bearing numer¬ 
ous flowers of a pure apricot-yellow. A very elegant and 
fine plant. Flowers splendidly every year and is always 
much admired. Stem-roots; fall planting only, 7 inches

tenuifolium with much larger and stronger flowers and 
stem. Received 3 awards of merit during various 1937 Sum¬ 
mer Exhibitions. $3 for 10; $27.50 per 100. 
TESTACEUM. This beautiful lily is also known as Ex- 
celsum 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 
graceful 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 beautiful 
for every kind of garden use but loses effect, because of its 
tender 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 Candi¬ 
dum, and should be planted the same depth, 2 inches 
below the surface of the ground. It flourishes best in loam 
and semi-shade. Base-roots; fall planting only, 2 inches 
deep; June-July flowering. Extra heavy, selected bulbs, 
$1.75 each; $15 for 10. Somewhat smaller, but good¬ 
flowering bulbs, $1 each; $9 for 10; $87.50 per 100. See 
illustration, page 75.

striking and unusual. The flowers are unspotted or nearly 
so, and the points of the petals are slightly reflexed. Extra- 
selected bulbs, $4.25 for 10; $40 per 100.
