NEW GUINEA BUTTER VINE 
The "Jack and the Beanstalk" Bean 
Grows to enormous size, one fruit often weighing 15 
ibs. and from:3 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. 
They are night bloomers, too,’’ writes one customer.

_ TAMPALA 
A DELICIOUS VEGETABLE FROM CHINA 
Tampala is a delicious green vegetable, the leaves of which 
may be eaten raw or cooked like spinach. Much better than 
spinach in flavor and in many other respects. Tampala is 
entirely different in flavor from other vegetables. More food 
value than either spinach or chard, and so tender the leaves 
require only five minutes to cook, with only the water that 
clings to the leaves when washed. Branches 4 to 5” in 
length may be quickly gathered instead of picking individual 
leaves. Tampala may be planted early and is usually ready 
for eating in six weeks after seed is sown. It does well in 
hot weather and will keep on producing all summer. (Pkt.
