MARTYNIA PROBOSCIDEA 
(Unicorn Plant) 
"A Flower or a Vegetable" 
While we would not recommend grow¬ 
ing Martynia for its flower, which is a 
dull yellowish white with purplish spots 
inside the corolla, still it is very interest¬ 
ing. The seedpods have a very distinct 
appearance because of the long curved 
horn which splits into two parts as they 
ripen and harden. In this stage they are 
used very effectively in combination with 
gourds, seedpods of various trees, pine 
cones, etc. 
Culture — A comparatively little known 
vegetable with large seed pods which 
when gathered young and tender are 
excellent pickled in vinegar. Start in a 
hotbed and transplant in the open when 
the weather is warm in hills three feet 
apart each way. 
Martynia Proboscidea —Large plant with 
long curiously shaped, curved pods. Pkt., 
15c, %-oz., 30c; oz., 50c; %-lb., $1.50.
