RUSSELL’S LUPIN 
Scabiosa JFischeri 
(Gypsophila, Bristol Fairy) 
Gypsophila, Bristol Fairy, is incomparably the 
finest of the Baby’s Breath. It is truly a wonder¬ 
ful introduction producing large panicles of dou¬ 
ble white flowers on which the individual blossom 
is larger than anything that has gone before, and 
the color is the purest white. It flowers continu¬ 
ously and profusely throughout the season. 50c 
each; 3 for $1.25; $4.00 per doz. 
The New Pink Baby's Breath 
(Gypsophila Pacifica) 
Excepting that the flowers are pink instead of 
white and the plant slightly smaller, the pink 
Baby’s Breath is like the white Bristol Fairy. The 
pink color is lovely and the flowers are produced 
all summer. 55c each; 3 for $1.35; $4.50 per doz. 
Gorgeously lovely flowers 3 inches in diameter, 
colored a splendid rich, deep violet-blue. The 
plants grow feet tall and the stems are 2 feet 
long. The flowers are produced throughout the 
summer and early fall, and supply great quanti¬ 
ties of the most fascinating of cut flowers. 3 for 
85c; $2.50 per doz. 
SCABIOSA - Blue Beauty 
The newest Scabiosa with a deeper color and

T he spring of 1938 will long he 
rcmemhered as the first introduc¬ 
tion to American gardeners of 
Rus.sell’s New Lupin the most splendid 
plant evolved in over a century of plant 
breeding. In variety, vividness and rich¬ 
ness of coloring, this plant defies descrip¬ 
tion. Crimsons, scarlets, oranges, yel¬ 
lows, pinks, hlues; every conceivable tint 
and shade is present in every possible 
combination. The flower stalks of this 
new wonder are 4 feet or more tall, 
strong and sturdy, long lasting and 
crowned with flower spikes 2 feet long. 
The florets are closely packed on the 
stem and have wide-spread fan-shaped 
back standards and keels as large as a 
half dollar. Undoubtedly something new 
and splendid had appeared in the world, 
the equal of which had never before 
been seen. 
Thoroughly tested in Great Britain, 
Russell’s New Lupin was known to be 
satisfactory in every soil and every con¬ 
dition from Landsend to Northern Scot¬ 
land and throughout Ireland. The only 
question remaining was, “what will the 
plant do in America?” 
A year’s experience in growing Rus¬ 
sell’s New Lupin in the United States 
proves that it is perfectly satisfactory 
anywhere throughout New England 
from New Jersey northward and on 
the Pacific Coast. It is equally satisfac¬ 
tory in the Southern and Central Plain 
States, including Western Pennsylvania, 
Ohio and W^est Virignia, provided it is 
shielded from the hot July and August 
sun. We recommend, therefore, that in 
these states Russell’s New Lupin be 
planted north or east of a building or 
north or east of a tree, where it will be 
shielded from the direct sunlight. It 
should not, however, be planted in the 
full shade as directly under a tree. Pro¬ 
tected as directed above the experience 
of thousands of American gardeners, 
both amateur and professional, indicate 
that Russell’s New Lupin is the most 
splendid perennial in cultivation and the 
most gloriously beautiful plant for any 
gardener who makes any pretense of 
being up-to-date. Russell’s New Lupin 
is a true perennial and not an annual.
