A NEW HYBRID AMARYLLIS — MARTINIQUE 
A remarkable new hybrid of the Sprekelia Formosissima or Jacobean lily with the Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) Vittata. 
One of the most unique hybrids which has been produced among the bulbous plants. The flowers are fiery crimson like those 
of the Jacobean lily but very much larger, being nine inches in diameter, but even more remarkable are the long curious twisted 
petals which give the flowers a strange appearance, not found anywhere else among the Amaryllidae. Leaves pale green, 
upright, strap shape, 1 inch wide, 1 8 to 20 inches long. Flowers fiery crimson on slender stems 1JA to 2 feet long. Usually 
two flowers to each stem. 
I have now produced 58 large bulbs and 5 7 small ones of this new hybrid. Price for the whole stock without reserve, $350. 
Seed capsules are produced abundantly but rarely a variable seed. Have so far secured twelve frcm which are now 
glowing twelve seedling bulbs, which are now large enough to bloom next season. Price of the twelve $240.
