planted, the vines being so vigorous and productive. The 
fruits are a nice size to handle, 6 to 7 inches long and

Cocozelle, Italian Vegetable Marrow or Summer Asparagus 
COCOZELLE (Italian Marrow or Summer Asparagus) is one of 
the most delicious additions to the Squash family. For piquancy 
of flavor, tenderness and general palatability it has few equals. 
This plant does not make 
a vine, but grows in the 
form of a compact bush, 
and 5 or 6 hills is suffi¬ 
cient for a large family. 
The oblong green fruits 
should be picked when 
not more than 4 to 6 
inches long. If the fruits 
are allowed to grow 
larger they lose their 
delicacy of flavor, and when one fruit is allowed to mature it 
checks the formation of any more fruit on the plant. The 
fruits form and grow rapidly and may be picked almost every 
day until frost. If 
planted early it will 
fruit from the latter 
part of June until Octo¬ 
ber. Can be cooked like 
Asparagus or Squash, 
and most excellent when 
prepared like French 
fried potatoes. Pkt., 8c; 
oz., 15c; fa lb.,- 40c; 
lb.. $1.20; 2 lbs., $2.15; 
5 lbs., $5.10, postpaid.
