WHEN ORDERING, PLEASE INDICATE WHETHER "RE- 
IMPORTANT! Seeds of Russell Lupins must be "nicked" in order to secure 
good germination. The following from the magazine "Horticulture" is self- 
explanatory (it is a personal experience of a grower of Russell Lupins): 
"I wonder if anyone has had such an experience in germination as I 
have. I nicked 100 Russell Lupin seeds and planted them in sand, and 
24 hours later one had sprouted and broken ground. 36 hours later 
another had done so, and in four days a great many had broken ground. 
Twenty-four hours to form a radicle and lift cotyledons is by far the 
quickest action I have ever known. The seeds were set on a bench in an 
unheated greenhouse, so about eight hours sun warming is about all 
they had, with no soaking."
