LOBELIA 
The Erinus varieties bloom very quickly from 
seed and flower all through the season. For 
beds, edgings, baskets and pots there is nothing 
prettier. Sow outdoors in early spring where the 
plants are to grow, and thin moderately; or 
transplant several inches apart in rich, open soil. 
Some stimulant given when they are in bloom 
greatly improves the flowers. Almost all are 
also good winter conservatory plants of trailing 
habit. The perennial or tall varieties are hand- 
some, showy plants and will be found quite effec- 
tive for backgrounds and grouping.

PERENNIAL VARIETIES 
The hardy perennial varieties of the Lupines 
are extremely handsome and stately, bearing 
their beautiful flowers of rose, white, blue, and 
yellow on erect, graceful spikes that are more 
than a foot in length. They are certainly among 
the most striking of hardy perennials; grow very 
compactly about 3 to 5 feet in height, and bloom 
continuously and profusely during the summer. 
They are excellent for grouping or massing in 
separate colors, and they suit themselves to 
almost any position in the border, making a 
good cut-flower, and of easy culture, requiring 
ordinary moist soil, deep as possible, but well 
drained, with plenty of old stable manure, in any 
open, sunny position. Sow seeds in April in their 
permanent places, transplanting or thinning as 
may be required.
