Lilium 
Lilies do exceedingly well in the hardy 
perennial border. We recommend that 
they be planted among the hardy peren¬ 
nials as the shade from the surrounding 
plants is necessary for their welfare. 
Lilies are very showy and hardy and 
should be planted freely in the garden.

pet. It is delightfully perfumed, re¬ 
minding one of the jasmine, and lack¬ 
ing the heavy, oppressive odor of most 
Lilies. Blooms out-of-doors early in 
July, and seedling bulbs will flower 
the second year. Lift the bulblets in 
fall and replant to greater depth in 
their permanent location. Pkt., 15o;

Russell Lupins 
This new strain of perennial Lupins, as is now widely known, caused a sensation 
in horticultural circles. Raised by Mr. G. Russell of York, England, and are the 
results of twenty years work of a little known gardener whose name is likely to be¬ 
come a byword amongst flower lovers. 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 lu¬ 
pins before. The flowers are large with 
flat, fan-like back-standards, and, unlike 
all other Lupins, most of the spikes re¬ 
tain their flowers throughout the whole 
period of development. Original stock.
