OF ALL VEGETABLES 
The New Guinea Butter Vine is a wonderful vege- 
table. Grows to enormous size, one fruit often weigh- 
ing 15 Ibs. and from 3 to 5 feet long. In growth it is 
similar to the squash, and cam 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. (Pkt. 15c¢) (oz. 50c) prepaid.
