DIRECTIONS FOR CURING 



The matured or well-ripened fruit hanging on 

 the gourd vines may be recognized by its fullj 

 rich coloring, the well-developed pattern on 

 the rind, the drying stem and a very hard shell 

 which will not yield to the thumb pressure or 

 easily scar. Those gourds which do not stand 

 this test will keep only a short time. Harvested 

 gourds should be cleaned and washed in a strong 

 disinfectant, then dried. They should have floor- 

 wax rubbed on them before they are used for 

 decorative purposes. Polishing with a soft brush 

 or cloth adds to their beauty. This is a very 

 much more attractive finish than the varnish or 

 shellac which is sometimes applied.
