New Guinea Butter Bean 
One of the Most Deli¬ 
cious of All Vegetables 
New Guinea liutter Bean 
The New Guinea But¬ 
ter Vine is a wonderful 
vegetable. Grows to 
enormous size, one fruit 
often weighing 15 lbs., 
and from 3 to 5 feet 
long. In growth it is 
similar to the squash, 
and can be grown in the 
same manner or can be 
trellised up. It is more 
productive than squash 
and much easier to 
grow. The vines are 
always free from dis¬ 
ease and insect pests, 
and stand more neglect 
and abuse than any 
other vegetable vine we 
know of. The fruits 
should be eaten when 
small, while the fuzzy 
growth is yet on. It 
can be cooked like 
squash and fried like 
egg plant. When cut up 
in small pieces and 
cooked with cream or 
fried it is most deli¬ 
cious. If trellised up, 
the vines take up so lit¬ 
tle space, no garden is 
too small for at least 
two or three plants.
