LUPINS, Russell 
These remarkable Lupins are the result of 
the continuous labor for many years of the 
enthusiastic grower whose name they bear. 
The chief features of this wonderful strain 
are the giant size of the spikes of bloom, 
which are often 3J^ feet in length; the fan¬ 
like shape of the large individual flowers, the 
standards being expanded like that of a 
sweet pea; and their enormous range and the 
unique character of their coloring—pure yel¬ 
lows, oranges, and rich bright crimsons—- 
and most attractive bicolors. Awarded the 
Royal Horticultural Society’s Gold Medal in 
1937.
