NEW GUINEA BUTTER VINE 
The “Jack and the 
Beanstalk" Bean 
Grows to enormous size, one 
fruit often weighing 15 lbs. and 
from 8 to 5’ long. It is similar 
to squash in growth, though 
more productive, and can be 
grown in the same manner or 
trellised up. The vines are al- 
ways free from disease and in- 
sect pests, and stand neglect 
and abuse. The fruits should be 
eaten when small, while the fuzz 
is still on them. Cook like 
Squash or fry like Egg Plant. 
When cut up in small pieces and 
cooked with cream or fried it is 
most delicious. When larger, 
they can be stuffed with meat 
and baked. ‘‘You should recom- 
mend as an ornamental vine. 
The blooms rival Japanese Iris, 
which they resemble, and bloom 
at a different season. They are 
night bloomers, too,’’ writes one 
customer. (Pkt. 15e) (Oz. 50c) 
prepaid. 
SERPENT « or SNAKE CUCUMBER 
This novel Cucumber resembles a green snake. The long, slim fruits 
coil into most realistic serpent-like shapes. They are usually 2 to 3’ in 
length, sometimes attaining a length of 5’. Note the 1 foot ruler showing 
six of them to show the comparative size. Fruits of this variety are not 
as good eating as regular cucumbers and are usually grown as a curiosity 
only. (Pkt. 20c) (% Oz. 60c) prepaid.
