Venidium Culture 2 
Fastuosum. This is an annual of such easy culture that anyone 
can grow and enjoy it. Its brilliant orange flowers, 4 inches 
across, with shining black center, displayed to perfection 
above the soft grey, woolly foliage, make this an unusually 
showy plant. Its great value earned the R. H. S. Award of 
Merit. Ht. 2}^ ft. Pkt. 25 cts.; rsoz. 50 cts. 
Fastuosum Hybrids. In 1932 an excellent new flower from 
Africa burst on the horticultural horizon, and was enthus¬ 
iastically acclaimed by plant-lovers as a coming cut-flower. 
This was Venidium fastuosum, the deep orange Monarch of 
the Veldt. Now there has been developed a strain of hybrids 
of this Venidium which is even more attractive than the 
original orange. The plants have the same habit and char¬ 
acteristics as the type, free flowering, 2 to 3 feet tall, and 
blooming 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 extreme heat than the original orange. Pkt. 25 cts.; 
5 for $1. 
Vinca • Madagascar Periwinkle Culture 9 
The Vincas are favorites for bedding, as they do well in 
partly shaded as well as sunny locations, and do not require a 
rich soil. The plants are 1 foot high, with glossy dark green 
foliage and charming star-shaped flowers which will last a 
week if cut when in bud. Start seed indoors in January and set 
plants outdoors in April, 1 foot apart each way; they will 
bloom until fall. Give them an occasional heavy watering. 
The seed normally germinates very slowly.
