RUSSELL LUPINS 
“Have Made History” 
1798. They have completely superseded every 
other strain and variety of Hardy Perennial type. 
They have been awarded the Royal Horticul¬ 
tural Society Gold Medal—hailed by all as the 
horticultural event of a lifetime—have been the 
center of attraction wherever shown. 
The 23 years’ work of Geo. Russell, an SO-year- 
old gardener, of York, England, have bred into 
Lupins hitherto unheard-of size and quality of 
flower spike, and variety and richness of coloring. 
The plants are hardy, unusually vigorous, carry¬ 
ing long erect spikes, which retain their florets 
from top to bottom throughout development, 
clear above well-regulated foliage. Pkt., 25c.

Heavenly Blue Morning Glory 
Crown of Gold Marigold 
Heavenly Blue 
Morning Glory 
1718. Improved Early Flow¬ 
ering. (New). One of the few 
flowers of true blue, and prob¬ 
ably one of the finest of all 
Morning Glories. Flowers meas¬ 
ure 3j/2 to 4 inches across, deep 
blue with white throat. They 
bloom profusely and for a long 
season, opening in the morning, 
facing the sun. While many have 
easy success sowing the seed in 
the open ground, others prefer 
to sow two seeds in a 3-inch pot 
indoors in April, and by the end 
of May plunge pot in the place 
where they are to bloom. They 
are then sure to produce many 
flowers. Use gravelly, sandy soil 
and give southern exposure. 
Pkt., 15c; M oz., 40c; oz., ^1.50.
