LUPINUS - Lupine 
Stately, colorful and beautiful perennials. The pea-shaped flowers are 
closely spaced on three- to four-foot spikes. The effect made by these 
colorful spires places the Lupine in the front rank of hardy border plants. 
Culture. Growing Lupines well is not so much a problem of soil as it is 
one of atmospheric conditions. They require ample moisture, full sun 
and do not like the hot drying winds of summer. They do equally well 
in heavy or light sandy soils. Water freely when ground is dry. They 
look best planted in bold groups. Plant in fall or early spring, ten inches 
apart. Whenever possible, do planting and transplanting in fall.

mauve, pink, etc., and the flowers are borne in long spikes that for size 
and beauty rival giant Snapdragons. The added novelty of being sweet 
eee makes these one of the best garden plants we have ever dis- 
ributed. 



RESELECTED RUSSELL LUPINES 
A few years ago the sensational Russell Lupines made their debut into 
American gardens. The extraordinary colors and new shades never 
before seen in these Lupines have been much admired by all those 
who are fortunately so located as to be able to grow Lupines with 
success. Realizing the vast differences between the American and 
English climates, we immediately began selecting and reselecting 
the Russell Lupines in order to develop a strain which would be 
better able to survive in our more difficult climate. Considerable 
progress has been made in this direction. 
You will find in our reselected Russell Lupines the same gorgeous 
colors, self blues, pink, reds, yellows, maroon, purples, etc. Bicolors 
such as violet and white; blue and yellow; red and bronze; red and 
white; purple and cream; blue and white; yellow and 
orange; pink and white; etc. The standard one color, 
the keel another. 
Individual flowers above average size, upright 
standards of some being an inch across. The flower 
spike resembles a closely set, well rounded column 
of sweet peas. All flowers on spike open at one time 
from top to bottom. Spike 3 to 5 feet tall. The 
sensation of the English horticultural world in 1937. 
We offer fine two-year, field-grown plants that will 
give you a mass of blooms the same year they are 
planted.
