ORNAMENTAL GOURDS. 
Decorative on arches , effective in beds, and the ripe fruit in winter much prized for decorating churches , 
schools , and halls, etc. 
These arc Pictuiesque, Curious, Interesting, and Beautiful, when grown on Mounds, Sloping Banks, trained 
over Arches, or planted in Beds for distinct effects. Last summer in the Royal Gardens, Kew, a Collection of our 
Gourds were grown in beds cut in the grass. In the summer of this year there will be a special " Gourd Garden," 
at Kew, and those interested in this class of decorative gardening should visit this Gourd Garden in August and Sep- 
tember. 1 he Plants can be raised under glass in April, or the seeds planted in May, where intended to be decorative. 
The fruits, when ripe, make the most elegant of all ornaments for church decoration in harvest festivals, and in 
winter are unsurpassed for hall ornaments.
