TENUIFOLIUM. A charming little early-flowering Lily 
with strongly recurved petals of waxy texture; deep 
scarlet. A gem in the rock garden as in the border. Likes 
a cool, damp, loamy soil and partial shade. Stem-roots; 
fall planting only, 7 inches deep; early June-flowering. 
Extra selected bulbs, $3.25 for 10; $30.00 per 100. A 
smaller, good, flowering bulb, $2.75 for 10; $25.00 per

TENUIFOLIUM, GOLDEN GLEAM. A beautiful, ro- 
bust, and 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 
deep; early June-flowering. Extra heavy, selected bulbs, 
$3.75 for 10; $35.00 per 100. A smaller, good, flowering 
bulb, $2.75 for 10; $25.00 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, put it in a color class by itself. There is a tender 
warmth in the color of this charming Lily. It is the most 
eraceful of all. It often grows from 5 to 6 feet high when 
established, and the horizontally poised heads of droop- 
ing 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, $2.00 each; $20.00 per 10.
