158 LUPINUS 



Lupi'nus — continiied. 



The Annual Lupines are very pretty flowers, 

 and some of the best kinds, such as L. Hybri'dus 

 at'ro-coccin'eus, and L. muta'bilis CruickshanJ^i, are 

 effective additions to the border. There is great 

 variety and their hardiness is beyond question. 

 The pea-like flowers are borne in spikes well above 

 the foliage. The large pods of seeds should be 

 always gathered early to prolong the flowering 

 season.
