LONIGERA, LUPINUS 



429 



Lonicera Halliana or Hall's Climbing Honeysuckle is one of the 

 best of hardy climbers, a clean, rank grower covered with fragrant 

 white flowers changing to yellow, and holding its foliage long after 

 the frost has stripped most other climbers. 



L. sempervirens we know best as Scarlet Trumpet Honeysuckle. 

 It is an excellent hardy sort, flowering all Summer and, when once 

 well established, a free grower. The Golden sort is also most at- 

 tractive, but a slower grower.

LUPINUS 



Both the annual as well as the perennial Lupines are of value 

 to the florist. Both, when well grown and with good spikes covered 

 with their Pea-shaped flowers in white, rose, light and deep blue, 

 make excellent cut flowers. Some growers specialize on Lupines 

 under glass and produce enormous spikes which retail at a high price. 



PERENNIAL SORTS 



These are not always a 

 success with every one and 

 the plants often are injured 

 during a severe Winter. They 

 must be sown early, say in 

 June, and planted in well 

 drained yet moist soil. They 

 bloom in late June and when 

 massed, if they have not suf- 

 fered, they make a grand 

 showing. Whenever possible, 

 if you have plants of your 

 own, it is better to fill your 

 orders for them in early 

 Spring, than to take chances 

 with transplanting them in 

 late Fall. 



LUPINES UNDER GLASS 



The annual sorts are fine 

 for forcing or flowering under 

 glass. For an early crop, sow 

 seed in September or Octo- 

 ber; pot up later on and per- Fi S- 204 - LUPINES IN A BORDER. How
