ORNAMENTAL GOURDS. 
Tile diversified and gi’otesc|uc fonns wliicli the fruits assume, the unususal richness and beautifully 
marbled colours, combined with elegantly divided and handsome foliage, render Gourds objeets of 
great interest and curiosity. In their style of growth there is always a charm, especially where many 
\aiieties are cultivated. Verandahs, sloping banka — even blank walls would be made attractive if 
these curious and beautiful productions of nature were allowed to grow over them, offering during 
their early growth real artistic beauty in form of foliage, and in autumn a picturesque appearance 
never attained by any other plants.
