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 
long. It is similar to 
the squash. It is more 
productive than squash 
and much easier to 
grow. 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 delicious. If trel- 
lised up the vines take 
up so little space, no 
garden is too small for 
at least two or three 
plants.
