I.UPINUS POI.YPHYI.I.US (Lupine). 



Effective plants, producing large spikes of flowers. Mrs. Ely says of them: "May be 

 planted either in the autumn or early spring. These plants bloom from about the 20th of 

 May for three weeks, and grow about 3 feet high. Being perfectly hardy and free from 

 attacks of insects, they are especially valuable. They require only well-prepared garden 

 soil and to be kept watered in dry weather, which should always be done, if possible, late 

 in the afternoon."
