The prefent, with many other fpecies of Lupine, is very 
generally cultivated in flower gardens, for the fake of varicty, 
being ufually fown in the fpring with other annuals; where 
the flower-borders are fpacious, they may with propricty be - 
admitted, but as they take up much room, and as their blo!- 
foms are of fhort duration, they are not fo defirable as many 
other plants. , ‘ 
It is a native of Sicily, and flowers in June and July. 
We have often thought that the management of the kitchen 
garden, in point of fucceffion of crops, might be advanta- 
geoufly tranfplanted to the flower garden; in the former, 
care is taken to have a regular fucceffion of the annual de- 
licacies of the table, while in the latter, a fingle fowing 1 
the {pring is thought to be all-fulficient; hence the flowe? 
garden, which in Auguft, September, and part of Odobe!s 
might be covered with a profufion of bloom, exhibits little 
more than the decayed ftems of departed annuals.
