ORNAMENTAL GOURDS ARE EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE BOTH FOR THEIR FOLIAGE AND FRUI 
When Ripe, the Fruit forms a unique Hall and Drawing-Room Ornament. 
The GOURD SEEDS, in warm localities, can be sown early in May where intended to grow. 
Natuanre, Hawtuorne on THE Gourp.— Speaking of Gourds, I must say a word of their beaut ae 
varied forms. They presented an endless diversity of urns and vases, shallow or deep, scalloped or plain, moul 
patterns which a sculptor would do well to copy, since art has never invented anything more graceful. 
Gourds in the garden were worthy—in my eyes, at least,—of being rendered indestructible in marble. If ev 
vidence (but I know it never will) should assign me a superfluity of gold, part of it shall be expended for a se ; 
plate, or most delicate porcelain, to be wrought into the shape of Gourds, gathered from vines which I will plant 
my own hands. As dishes for containing vegetables they would be peculiarly appropriate.”
