Vegetable Marrow Custard 
Hybrids. —We secured from Mr. Herbert 
— | Chapman the whole stock of his new 
Hybrid Vegetable Marrows, which were unanimously awarded 
a Silver-gilt Knightian Medal by the Royal Horticultural Society. 
These are the result of crossing the Custard Marrow with a small 
elongated form of superior quality. The distinctive flavour of 
the Custard parent has been retained in the hybrids, which 
exhibit a remarkable diversity of form. It will be found that 
even those varieties approximating more nearly to the elongated 
Vegetable Marrow are very much better flavoured than existing 
varieties. Our culinary stalT are unanimous in their praise 
of the superior flavour of these hybrids. Per pkt..-/6, I/-, and 1/6 
Epicure, Carters. After repeated culinary trials in our 
kitchens, we consider this one of the best flavoured varieties in 
cultivation. .Small specimens, cooked whole, are delicious, but 
in order to enjoy the full flavour, fruit should be cut when about 
8 in. in diameter. As a forcing kind it is splendid, and to illus- 
trate its prolific character, we may state that from plants which 
started bearing in May we have cut good fruit on September 30th , 
the frames having been taken olT the plants during June, bruits 
are green, flecked with white, habit semi-trailing. (See Photo- 
graph.) 
Your Marrow Epicure is excellent either for forcing or main- 
crop outdoors, of superior flavour and exceptionallv prolific.
