LUPINE SEEDLINGS 
These have not yet bloomed; they will only partially come true to color— 
the rich apricots and rare yellows are especially hard to get; most of the pinks 
will come true with a wonderful range of pink shades; but even the rogues will 
be of wonderful shades; we are trying hard to eliminate all the undesirable pur¬ 
ple and blue shades, but there are some wonderful blues, and some very desirable 
rich plum purples. 
Mixed Seedlings in two sizes, 60c and $1.00 per doz. Larger plants, beautiful, all 
shades, already bloomed, 25c each. Big clumps, 40c each, by express, collect. 
If you don’t succeed with lupine in your particular locality don’t give up! 
Your soil simply lacks a certain bacteria which the lupine must have in order it 
can grow the small nodules found on its roots with which it manufactures nitro¬ 
gen, without which the lupine cannot live. If your lupine wilts, turns yellow 
and dies, pull it up, you won’t find any nodules on its roots. You can remedy 
the matter by applying certain bacteria to your soil. Ask us for the leaflet 
“SOLVING THE GREAT LUPINE MYSTERY.” It will tell you all about it.
