Russell Lupins 
RUSSELL LUPINS 
This new 1938 novelty from England is an outstanding horticul¬ 
tural achievement. These new Lupins are exceedingly vigorous and 
produce magnificent spikes 2 to 2 ft. long on stems 3 ft. tall. The 
florets are produced in a bewildering and beautiful range of color and 
are closely placed. In effect, they resemble the Sweet Peas, the lower 
florets are retained on the spike throughout the entire development of 
the flower. We have devoted our energies to strong field-grown plants 
and making them available for the first time to gardens in this country. 
Offered in a mixture only— 
$2.25 for 3 plants, $8.00 per doz. 
We recommend a light covering of salt hay or brush to check 
winter heaving of plants.
