George Russell, the \ orkshire gardener, notv 
about eighty years old, still hale and hearty, 
the originator of Russell Lupins. 
THE NEW VARIETIES 
Some of the most beautiful varieties grown in the great fields in 
England have been named, plants of these selling for $1.87 to $5.75 each 
in England. Seeds of these plants are included in the gi’owei's colored 
packets, marked RE-SELECTED STOCK, sealed with the registered 
trade-mark seal, the portrait of Mr. Russell surrounded with a band 
of red, as follows: 
12 seeds, 25 cts.; 50 seeds, 65 cts.; 120 seeds, $1.25; 250 seeds, $2.50. 
GUARANTEED GENUINE RUSSELL LUPIN SEEDS can 
only be obtained in the growers original packets sealed with the regis¬ 
tered trade-mark seal. 
Plants of the new varieties will not be available in the United 
States until 1941, owing to Government quai'antine. - 
Russell Lupin seeds were offered for the first time in 1938. Almost 
every combination of color and shade appears in these flowers. 
Seeds of the ORIGINAL STOCK will arrive in October or Novem¬ 
ber 1938, for the season of 1939, priced as follows; 
10 seeds, 15 cts.; 24 seeds, 25 cts.; 80 seeds, 65 cts.; 200 seeds, $1.25; 
500 seeds, $2.50. 
These will be packed in the growers original colored packets, sealed 
with the blue registered trade-mark seal bearing Mr. Russell’s portrait 
surrounded with a narrow band of blue. These packets are plainly 
marked ORIGINAL STOCK. 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 
Cultural directions, printed in England, are enclosed in each seed 
packet. That is another safeguard for purchasers to distinguish the 
genuine, superior Russell Lupins grown by the xnti’oclucers. In addi¬ 
tion, supplementary instructions, as the result of my experience are sent, 
stating what particular treatment the plants require in this country.

WT k f obtaining genuine Russell Lupins, purchase seeds only 
YY 1 in the English growers original colored packets, sealed with this seal. 
Each packet containing the originator’s complete, simple cultural 
directions. • All lupin seeds look alike. The unprecedented demand for Russell Lupins may 
tempt some dealers to offer cheap, spurious seeds as the genuine. Purchase only the original 
sealed packets and avoid disappointment and waste of money. 
READ WHAT PROMINENT 
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 depar¬ 
ture 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

HORTICULTURISTS SAY: 
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."—Horticultural 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 
- Russali Lupins. The Cold- Medol-i,vas- n e v e r ..more- riohly- deserved.”—W. 
Simmons. Member of R. H. S. Floral Committee, in My Garden. London.
