Fastuosum Hybrids 
Of the many flowers which South Africa has contributed to our gardens, 
Venidium fastuosum stands out as the showiest. We realized that for 
many gardens it would be too gaudy and customers would welcome 
such a lovely flower if it might be had in softer, more refined colors. 
Our plant breeders got busy and last year we offered a wonderful new 
strain of Hybrids, which has been praised very highly. 
Many colors which were entirely new in Venidiums are to be had in 
these Hybrids—creamy white, lemon-yellow, butter-yellow, buff, light 
orange, and also white; each petal is attractively blotched at its base, all 
in lovely contrast to the purple-blue or brown centers. 
Plants grow 2 to 3 ft. tall and produce numerous flower stems each 
bearing a large, Daisy-like flower, 3 to 4 in. across. The constitution of 
the plants is strong and a quite important attribute is that the seed 
germinates very freely. A most striking novelty. Oz. $1.65; lb. $20.00.
