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 ten¬ 
der 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 L. candidum, 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; 
$15.00 for 10. Somewhat smaller, but good, flowering 
bulbs, $1.00 each; $9.00 for 10; $87.50 per 100. See 
illustration, page 73.
