GODETIA [hA] Another native California flower 

 that is prized the world over. It is especially 

 suited to situations in partial shade and thrives 

 even in rather poor soil. The tall double sorts 

 are suitable for the border and make fine cut 

 flowers lasting a long time if gathered before 

 fully expanded. As brilliant low border or bed- 

 ding plants the single sorts are very desirable as 

 they carry a mass of blooms. Easily grown from 

 seed sown in the open.

GOURD [hA-C-12 f t . ] A vigorous and rapid grow- 

 ing vine of the Cucurbita or Pumpkin family. 

 Its dense fohage makes it useful for covering 

 arbors, fences, slopes or unsightly places. The 

 large tubular flowers are usually white or yellow. 

 They are followed by curiously shaped fruits 

 which often bear a resemblance to some other 

 famihar object such as an egg, orange, dipper, 

 club or pitcher. When ripe they keep indefinite- 

 ly, have hard smooth decorative shells and are 

 prized by children as toys or may be fashioned 

 into household conveniences. 



Dipper Easily fashioned into a long handled 

 dipper. 



Dishcloth, or Luffa The spongy cellular interior fiber makes 

 an excellent scrubbing material as it rinses easily and keeps 

 sweet and clean.

 sive club.

 devoid of foliage but their extremely dehcate, well branched 

 stalks produce a charming misty effect in the garden. They 

 bear numerous tiny blossoms and the dainty texture of the

 other flowers to make graceful bouquets. No picking garden 

 is complete without a few plants of this genus for cutting.

 stems straight. The centers of the double pompom-like 

 flowers are nearly covered by the stiff overlapping petals.
