TENUIFOLIUM—Bright Chinese-red blossoms of the recurved or 
turks-cap type. A fine little lily for the rock garden or in borders 
associated with dwarf plants. Sometimes as many as 20 dainty 
blooms are borne in candelabra formation on thin, wiry stems 18 to 
24 inches high. Very fine for cutting, and lasts a long time in bou- 
quets. Cronin be planted i in light sandy soil in full sun. June flower- 
ing. Plant 4-5 inches deep. September- December delivery. 
Flowering size bulbs: Each 25c, Six $1.20, Dozen $2.25. 
TENUIFOLIUM GOLDEN GLEAM—(Hybrid) Beautiful form of 
L. Tenuifolium supposedly a hybrid between the type and L. Mar- 
tagon Album. The plant is almost identical to Tenuifolium except 
that flowers are Battie yellow. Grows easily and very hardy. 
Selected bulbs: Each 30c, Six $1. 50, Dozen $2.75. 
TESTACEUM (Nankeen) — One of 
the most outstanding hybrid llhes 
ever produced. Origin is unknown, 
but it 1s thought to be a cross between 
L. Candidum and L. Chalcedonicum. 
Flowers are recurved, very fragrant, 
and of deep golden yellow color with 
bright red anthers. Strong bulbs will 
produce up to twelve of these charm- 
ing flowers on one stem. The accom- 
panying photograph shows a very 
fine specimen from our plantings 
This lily grew five feet high, with 
wonderful foliage, and the mature 
bulb measured 15 inches in circum- 
ference and weighed 21 ounces. 
Like the Madonna lily, Testaceum 
should be planted early, September 
being the best time. We usually plant 
four inches deep to top of bulb, either 
in sun or partial shade. If in shade, 
blooms last longer. Plants sprout 
early in the spring and flower in late 
June or early July. September deliv- 
ery. 

Flowering size bulbs: Each $1.50, Six $8.50, Dozen $15.00. 
Extra strong bulbs: Each $2.00, Six $11.00, Dozen $20.00.

No doubt you get many compliments on your Tigridias, but the lot that 
you sent us has done so extraordinarily well and has given us so much 
pleasure that I thought I would mention it to you. After looking over the 
collection for several days now, I find I like the spotted Tigridias much 
better than the self-colored ones; however, all of them are extremely nice 
and I am quite astonished to note how free-flowering they are —J. D. G.
