Gourds. 
ORNAMENTAL GOURDS. 
Gourds are a vigorous class of plants with 
curiously formed and strangely colored fruit. The 
forms may be wonderfully varied by tying strings 
around tlie young fruit, or by inclosing same in a 
curved mold while growing, thus stamping on its 
surface any desired figure or letters. It is neces- 
sary that the seed sliould be planted early, as it 
requires a whole season to mature some of the va- 
rieties. Very desirable for covering old fences, 
stumps, arbors, etc.

Helianthus Cucumerifolius 
"Stella." 
As an addition to.long stemmed flowers for cut- 
ting purposes is always welcome, we do not doubt 
but that this new annual Sunflower will soon be a 
general favorite. It attains a height of 3 to 4 feet 
and differs from the Helianthus cucumerifolius or 
Miniature Sunflower by its larger and better formed 
flowers of the purest golden yellow with a black 
disk. The individual flowers, i\ to 3 inches across, 
are all borne on long stems and rise well above the 
lively green, small foliage. Sown on a sunny spot 
in the open ground in April, flowers may be cut 
daily from the end of June until the frost kills the 
plants. Pkt , 25c.
