New Guinea Butter Vine 
ONE OF THE MOST DELICIOUS OF ALL VEGETABLES 
The New Guinea Butter 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 disease 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 delicious. If trellised' 
up, the vines take up so little space, no garden is too small 
for at least two or three plants. Mrs. Sam J. Yoder, Apple 
Creek, Ohio, grew one New Guinea Butter Vine fruit which 
weighed 15 lbs. and was 4% feet in length. Another cus¬ 
tomer writes that he cut 75 fruits from one vine, and that 
each fruit was from 2% to 3 feet long. Pkt., 10c; 3 pkts., 
25c; oz., 50c, postpaid.
