Henderson's Selection of 



Annual Lupinus 



Bushy Plants, Covered with Charmingly Colored Spikes of 

 Pea-shaped Flowers 



While the perennial varieties of Lupinus are desirable flowers for the herbaceous 

 border, we think that the annual varieties offered below are the most useful on 

 account of their rapidity of growth and free-flowering qualities. They are fine 

 for mixed borders and for planting among shrubs or as beds on the lawn, making 

 a grand display for a small outlay. As will be noted there are a number of 

 charming colors in the selection and some of the varieties are delicately scented. 

 Plants of Annual Lupinus attain a height of about 2 feet; are of robust branching 

 habit; and throw out spikes covered with pea-shaped flowers for most of their 

 length. If these are cut as they mature, the plants will continue to bloom for 

 a long time. 



The leaves of the plant, too, are quite ornamental, being divided like a palm 

 leaf. They are from 4 to 7 inches in diameter, dark green and satiny, and form 

 a very" handsome bush. (See illustration.)
