LUPINES FOR WINTER BLOOMS. 



Will you kindly have your specialist 

 give some advice on growing lupines 

 under glass for winter blooming? 



H. G.— Mich. 



The annual varieties of lupines can be 

 successfully grown for winter flowering. 

 By sowing seeds in benches now, flowers 

 may be had for Christmas and the 

 plants will continue to bloom for a con- 

 siderable time. The earliest bloomer is 

 a pink sort which goes by a variety of 

 names, including roseus hybridus, Pink 

 Beauty, Pink Perfection, etc. This is 

 of a clear pink color, just what the mar- 

 ket demands. Sow half a dozen seeds 

 of this variety in small patches a foot 

 apart each way, as you would sow mignon- 

 ette. Thin out to three or four. 

 Avoid overhead syringing, especially in 

 dark weather. Keep the soil con- 

 stantly stirred. Mildew and stem-rot 

 trouble lupines in midwinter. For mil- 

 dew, dust with sulphur. To avoid stem-

rot, water carefully. Sowings made 

 about Thanksgiving will give a good 

 crop in March and April. 



The varieties mutabilis and Hartwegii 

 are good for greenhouse culture, but do 

 not come into bloom as early as hybridus 

 roseus. They must be planted farther 

 apart, two feet each way not being too 

 much. They produce splendid spikes 

 and bloom for a long time if carefully 

 watered and well fed. They are at 

 their best from February onward. A 

 night temperature of 45 to 48 degrees 

 suits annual lupines and it must not 

 exceed 50 degrees on any account. Give 

 them a soil such as you would use for 

 carnations or chrvsanthemums. C. W.
