NEW GUINEA BUTTER BEAN 
EDIBLE GOURD— 
One of the Most Deli- 
cious of All Vegetables 
The New Guinea But- 
ter Bean is a wonderful 
vegetable. Grows to 
enormous size, one fruit 
often weighing 15 lbs., 
and from 3 to 5 feet 
lone aan fsrowth it) is 
similar to the squash, 
and can 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 dis- 
ease 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 and served 
like squash. When cut 
up in small pieces and 
cooked with cream or 
fried it is most deli- 
cious. If trellised up the 
vines take up so little 
space, no garden is too 
small for at least two or 
three plants.

RHUBARB 
(One ounce to 125 feet of drill—1 pound to acre.) 
Seed should be sown early in the Spring in shal- 
low drills 1 foot apart; thin out to stand 4 to 5 
inches apart in the row. The following Spring the 
roots should be transplanted into permanent beds 
and placed 3 feet apart each way; the year fol- 
lowing that or two years after sowing the seed, 
the Rhubarb may be used. Do not cut Rhubarb; 
pull it so that it comes out whole from the crown. 
For forcing, take up some of the larger roots 
and plant in a dark corner of the cellar. Cultivate 
Rhubarb frequently, even after the cutting season 
is over and top-dress with fertilizer in the fall at 
least every other year.

TAMPALA — A New Vegetable 
“Withstands Hot Weather” 
Is a new delicious green vegetable, the leaves of 
which are cooked, prepared and served like spinach, 
but we consider it far better than spinach. Tam- 
pala is so different in flavor to other vegetables 
used as “greens.” It retains its tenderness for a 
longer time, has a flavor all its own. A pleasing 
change from all other greens. It does well in hot 
weather and will keep on producing all Summer.
