VENIDUM 
FASTUOSUM—A magnificent new species from the 
Cape. The plants attain a height of two to three feet, 
and above the greyish, silky foliage rise numerous, rich 
orange-colored Daisy-like flowers, which are marked with 
a purple-black zone at the base of the petals. The 
flowers average four to five inches across, and make a 
most striking display in the border. This variety is best 
treated as a half-hardy annual, sowing the seed in April 
or early May, as germination is difficult if started earlier.

NEW VERBENA 
BEAUTY OF OXFORD 
HYBRIDS 
(H YBRIDA GRANDIFLORA 
TYPE). A beautiful giant hybrid 
raised from a cross between Ver- 
bena Luminosa and Beauty of Ox- 
ford. While following closely the 
color of Beauty of Oxford, it also 
inherits a touch of salmon pink 
from Luminosa which gives a love- 
ly softening effect to the sometimes 
harsh coloring of Beauty of Oxford. 
The color shades from clear Rose- 
Pink to Rose-Red, making this the 
brightest Rose Verbena ever pro- 
duced from seed. The individual 
florets measure over one inch in 
diameter. They are half as large 
again as Beauty of Oxford and will 
easily cover a silver half dollar. The 
foliage is a dark cress green. This 
beautiful verbena will be welcomed 
as a distinct addition to the Ver- 
bena Grandiflora color group and 
also for the opportunity to produce 
from seed those color effects only 
obtained previously by cuttings of 
Beauty of Oxford.............. Pkt. 25c
