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.
