English Hybrid Lupin 
The English gardeners have suc¬ 
ceeded in developing the lovely Lupin 
from the more usual colors of blue and 
purple into a beautiful range of tones. 
So that in these new hybrids we think 
of a range of colors covering nearly the 
whole palette. Beginning with purest 
white, they travel into the cream col¬ 
ors, soft pinks, buff, orange and old rose 
often with an undertone of deeper color 
on the keel. And even the blues and 
purples have achieved a new richness. 
The fine form and substance of these 
new Lupins make them doubly desir¬ 
able. Offered in mixture only. From 
3}4 in. pots, $1.75 for 3, $6.00 per doz.
