AFRICAN PIPE GOURD 



A luxuriant, rapid-growing annual 

 climber, adaptable to all purposes for 

 which climbing plants are used ; and be- 

 sides, it produces the Ornamental Gourds 

 from which are made the African Cala- 

 bash pipes now so popular on account of 

 their lightness, grace and meerschaum 

 coloring qualities. 



When grown for the production of Pipe 

 Gourds, the vines are usually allowed to 

 grow on the ground like Cucumbers, 

 Pumpkins, etc., so that the fruits in place 

 of hanging down and growing straight, 

 will take their natural pipe curve; though 

 if grown on trellis, the Gourds may be 

 shaped by tying up with cheese cloth or 

 by using perforated boards with pegs. 



Directions for growing, curing and mak- 

 ing pipes from these Gourds are sent with 

 every package of seed. {See cut.) Pkt. ISc.
