We have no prettier annual than this little Lupine, which 
has recently been introduced from California by the Horti- 
cultural Society. It forms a low tufted plant, from 6 inches 
toa foot in height, producing a succession of upright shoots, 
terminated by several tiers of flowers, which continue to opên 
in succession for two months. The colours being, bright 
purple, intermingled with white and rose, a gay variegated 
appearance is produced, which is extremely agreeable when 
the plant is grown in masses. 
ering flower-beds, or for forming 
or for the edge of a small clump, 
hich requires neatness, and a 
It is well adapted for cov 
a compartment in a parterre, 
or in short for any purpose W 
protracted blooming. 
If sown in the autumn it will flower in May and dr * 
sown in spring, it will bein beauty in August — — ge 
and by deferring the period of sowing till the beginning 
June, it may be made to blossom as late as November.
