Hibberd’s Prolific Early Marrow. This valuable prolific Marrow sets fruit quicker and in far greater abun- 
dance than any other. No sooner are the plants put out than they begin to yield great numbers of small 
elegant oval-formed fruits, which are ready to cook when the size of a turkey’s egg. The flesh is thick 
and the flavour most delicious. Those who wish to grow marrows under glass early will find this by far 
the best variety, and for this purpose we have selected the smallest fruits, and again further separated them, 
so that the seed Nos. 1, 2, and 3 offered as under, has been taken by ourselves from fruit ranging in length 
from 3 to 6 inches, and perfect models in shape.
