Read What Prominent Horticulturists Say: 
UNITED STATES — “A new strain of Lupines that have literally shaken British 
horticulturists out of their habitual calm. Accustomed to seeing large shows and 
examples of skillful culture, an exhibit has to be out of the ordinary to cause 
British show goers and show reporters to become unduly excited. 
“The plants are ultra vigorous and the spikes are densely flowered. The color 
range is extraordinary, including many shades never before seen in lupins. The 
average height in growth is from 4 to 5 feet. A new departure from anything 
previously seen.” T. A. Weston, in Florists Exchange. 
“Something new has suddenly burst upon the world. It is an English gardener 
that has accomplished this wonder. George Russell, who has devoted twenty years 
in the Autumn of his life to the improvements of a plant. The results have been 
astounding. Such coloring, shading and blending of yellow, blue, pink, rose, and 
crimson are almost unbelievable.” Leonard Barron, in The Flower Grower. 
ENGLAND — “Russell Lupins are distinctive in the combined features, size, habit, 
spike formation and color making them a strain to be desired and one that will be 
in demand. No trace of stem discernible between the florets. The spikes fifteen 
inches in circumference. Stem, flower spike, flowers, all in proportion.”—Horti¬ 
cultural Trade Journal, London. 
“Sensational in character, will make a vast difference to horticulture for many 
years to come. Setting everybody in Horticultural Hall to talking with such 
animation, that we got away to seek quietude and to think. The sight of the cut 
flowers was wonderful. We have much more to write about these plants.”— 
Amateur Gardening, London. 
“Lupinus Polyphyllus out of all recognition. Never before have I seen such 
marvelous coloring, or been thrilled by such exotic blendings, and I have seen 
every ‘worth-while’ plant or race of plants introduced in the last forty years. I 
have seen nothing to come within a mile of the new Russell Lupins. The Gold 
Medal was never more richly deserved.”—D. W. Simmons, Member of R. H. S. Floral 
Committe, in My Garden, London. 
Russell Lupin plant bearing a number of flower spikes which is customary.
