Read What This Customer Says 
“1 just want to say a few words in regard to the Climb¬ 
ing Tomato. I have never seen another tomato to equal it. 
I only have 13 vines planted, and I guess I have been get¬ 
ting ripe tomatoes 6 weeks or longer. They are still bear¬ 
ing and blooming now, the first of October. My husband 
says there is no use planting any other kind.”

Italian Vegetable Marrow 
Cocozelle or Summer Asparagus 
One of the most delicious additions to the Squash family. For 
piquancy of flavor, tenderness and general palatability it lias few 
equals. This plant does not make a vine, but grows in the form of a 
compact bush, and 5 or 6 hills are sufficient for a large family. The 
long slender fruits should be picked when not more than 8 to 10 
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. It 
planted early it will fruit from the latter part of June until October. 
Can be cooked like Asparagus or Squash, and most_ excellent when 
prepared like French fried potatoes. Pkt., 8c; oz., 15c; y 4 lb., 40c;
