Cult. Every species of Lupine are worth cultivating for the 

 purpose of decorating flower-borders, as they are very orna- 

 mental when in flower ; they thrive best in light soil, and are 

 most easily increased by seeds. The shrubby kinds require to 

 be protected in severe weather in winter by a glass covering, or 

 by matting. If they are grown against a wall, they can be 

 easily sheltered in winter. Cuttings of them root readily.
