VENIDIUM FASTUOSUM HYBRIDS 
Three years ago an excellent new flower from 
Africa burst upon the horticultural horizon, and 
was enthusiastically acclaimed by plant lovers 
as a coming cut flower. This was Venidium Fas¬ 
tuosum, the deep orange Monarch of the Veldt. 
Now there has been developed a strain of hy¬ 
brids of this Venidium which is even more attrac¬ 
tive than the original orange. The plants have 
the same habit and characteristics as the type, 
free flowering, two to three feet tall, and bloom¬ 
ing over a long period. The color range is varied 
and very interesting—apricot shades, creamy 
white, pure white, salmon shades, canary yellow, 
golden yellow and the well known orange. We 
find that the hybrids stand up much better in ex¬ 
treme heat than the original orange.
