The 1938 Sensation 
T HIS new strain of perennial Lupins has, as is now widely known, caused a sensation in horticultural circles. 
Raised by Mr. G. Russell, of York, it is the most outstanding introduction for many years. Awarded the Royal 
Horticultural Society’s Gold Medal, June 1937. The long, closely furnished spikes flower in a great variety 
of rich colors—deep yellows, oranges, reds and brilliant bi-colors never seen in Lupins before. The florets are large 
with flat fan-like back-standards, and unlike all other Lupins, most of the spikes retain their florets throughout the 
whole period of development. 
NEW RUSSELL LUPINS (Seeds) from our magnificent collection of CAREFULLY GROWN and SELECTED 
PLANTS grown by us LAST YEAR from Mr. Russell’s GENUINE BEST SEEDS. 
Growing Lupins and selling plants and seeds are no new experience for us; we have done this successfully for 
the last 15 years. We have now a magnificent collection of GENUINE RUSSELL LUPINS and are offering extra 
selected seeds from these at greatly reduced prices from last year and we know from our past experience with 
Lupins, that we will grow as fine and finer plants than the original. Our climate on the Pacific Coast and our rich 
alluvial soil in this valley containing quantities of volcanic ash from Mt. Rainer grow Lupins as they can be grown 
nowhere else. 
“Germination” has always been good with our Lupin seeds; we have never been obliged to resort to “chipping” 
our seeds, as Mr. Russell advises. For a more even and quicker germination we do practice and advise soaking the 
seeds in luke warm water for 24 hours and then sowing the seed immediately. In sowing 2-year-old seeds it would 
be advisable to chip the seeds but we never sell seed that old. 
From an indoor sowing in February or March you will have blooming plants in early July and hardly two will 
be alike and most of them will be two-toned or bi-colors. 
For some reason Lupins will not thrive in all parts of the country, even not in the same county; if you fail in 
your garden with the modern Lupin hybrids your soil may lack the necessary bacteria. Find the cause of your 
failure and DO NOT BLAME THE SEED NOR THE GROWER. With us here Lupins thrive like weeds in our soil 
and where the drainage is perfect; in poorly drained, or wet soil they get sick, turn yellow and die and so do the 
small seedlings. 
PRICE OF RUSSELL LUPIN SEEDS GROWN BY PUDOR’S—25 seeds, 25c; 50 seeds, 40c; 100 seeds, 70c; 
i/ 8 oz. (approx. 150 seeds) 90c; y 4 oz. (approx. 300 seeds) $1.75; y 2 oz. (approx. 600 seeds) $3.50. Not more than y 2 
oz. sold to one customer. Full directions for handling and sowing the seeds and how to care for the seedlings, in 
each package. 
IF YOU HAVE FAILED WITH LUPINS— 
The reason probably has been the absence of nitrogen in your soil; Lupins belong to the family of Legumes and 
need nitrogen to form the nodules on their roots; even the small seedlings have them from the beginning. If they 
don’t make the nodules, they will remain measly specimens and finally die. Therefore inoculate your seed before 
sowing with NOD-O-GEN, a pure culture of Nodule Bacteria. Ten cents’ worth is sufficient for a pack of seeds. For 
our customers’ benefit and to save them trouble and expense, we inoculate all our Lupin seeds before we send them 
out. No guarantee of any sort is attached to this. If you still fail with Lupins it is not our fault, nor the seeds or 
plants ; we will not replace them and you will be the loser. IT IS ONLY THE SEED of Lupins that can be inoculated.
