LUPINE 
Hardy Annual—18 to 24 in. 
Annual Lupines are among the most useful of garden flow- 
ers, especially where you have sandy or poor soil. In cold 
climates sow seed in the open in May where it is to grow, 
later thinning out plants, leaving them about a foot apart. 
In California and Southern states sow seed in fall or early 
spring.

all Lupines. Some spikes have a height of three feet. The 
range of colors is superb. We feel that this strain has a 
brilliant future. Pkt. 25c; Special Pkt. 75c.

California SUN-RIPENED SEEDS—America’s Best 

2550 Fragrant Orange Blossom Flowered Nicotiana (Flow- 
ering Tobacco). This is comparatively new and classed 
with all of the most popular fragrant flowers today and we 
predict it will hold a permanent place in the parks and 
gardens of America for many years. It is gaining favor all 
of the time. The tall spikes are well furnished with delicate 
pure white waxy orange blossom-like flowers as illustrated 
above. This is different from all other flowering Tobaccos. 
Its well balanced and symmetrical growth makes it ideal for 
formal planting. It grows about 18 inches high and can be 
used with very good effect for bedding, in borders and 
planted in groups. This Flowering Tobacco is a welcome 
companion for flowers that have no fragrance, such as Zin- 
nias, Marigolds and Calendulas. Pkt. 25c; Special Pkt. 75c.
