LUPINS 
1268 Russell Hybrids. The new Russell Lupins are 
always admired for the beauty and rich colorings of 
their stately blooms. Unfortunately, lupins will 
not grow well in regions where the summers are hot 
and dry; they need a cool, moist atmosphere as is 
found in some sections along the Great Lakes or the 
New England seacoast. As the lupins belong to the 
legume family, they will benefit from inoculation of 
the seed at planting time with a prepared culture of 
nitrogen-fixing bacteria. (See page 47). Distance 
apart, 12-24 inches. Finest mixed colors: Pkt. 
20c; Ig. pkt. 40c.
