The "Jack and the Beanstalk" Bean 
Grows to enormous size, one fruit often weighing 15 
Ibs. and from 83 to 5 feet long. In growth it is similar 
to the squash, and can be grown in the same manner 
or trellised up. More productive. The vines are al- 
ways free from disease and insect pests, and stand 
neglect and abuse. The fruits should be eaten when 
small, while the fuzzy growth is yet on. Cook like 
Squash and fry like Egg Plant. When cut up in small 
pieces and cooked with cream or fried it is most de- 
licious. ‘‘You should recommend them as an orna- 
mental vine. The blooms rival Japanese Iris which 
they closely resemble, and bloom at a different season.
