LUPINUS, New Strains 
Reselected Russell Lupines Three $0.85, Doz. $2.75, 100 $15.00 
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 differ- 
ences between the American and English climates, we immedi- 
ately began selecting and reselecting the Russell Lupines in 
order to develop a strain which would be better able to sur- 
vive 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, pinks, reds, yellows, maroon, pur- 
ples, ete. 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, stan- 
dards of some being an inch across. The flower 
spike resembles a closely set, well-rounded col- 
umn of Sweet Peas. All flowers on spike open 
at one time from top to bottom. Spike 8 to 5 
feet tall. The sensation of the English horticul- 
tural 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.
