Hibberd's Prolific Early Marrow. This valuable Marrow sets fruit quicker and in far greater nbundauce than 

 any other of tliis family. No sooner are the plants put out than they begin to yield large numbers of 

 sniall elegant oval-formed fruits, which are ready to cook when the size of a turkey's egg. The flesh is 

 thick and the flavour delicious. Those who wisli to grow marrows under glass will find this far superior to 

 any other marrow, and for this purpose we have selected the very smallest fruits, and offer the seed as 

 under, remarking that the larger sizes set as freely and quickly as the smaller, but the smaller fruits yield 

 least seed.
