Ornamental Gourds (A) 
DIRECTIONS FOR CURING 
The matured or well-ripened fruit hanging on 
the gourd vines may be recognized by its full. 
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.
