Cocozelle, Italian Vegetable Marrow or Summer Asparagus 
COCOZELLE (Italian Marrow or Summer As¬ 
paragus) is ono of the most dtdieious additions to 
the Squash family. For piquancy of flavor, tender¬ 
ness and gen('i-al palatability it has few equals. 
This ])]ant does not make a vine, but grow’s in tlie 
form of a compact bush, and 5 or (i hills is stifficient 
for a large family. The long slender fruits arc very 
dark green with lighter green stripes, and should 
bo ])ick(‘d Avhen not more than 8 to 10 inches long. 
If the fruits arc allowed to grow larger they lose 
their delicacy of flavor, and when ono fruit is al- 
lotvcd to mature it chocks 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 October. Can be cooked like 
Asparagus or Squash, and most excellent when pre¬ 
pared like French fried ])otatoes. Pkt., 8c; oz., 15c;
