ORNAMENTAL GOURDS. 
The diversified and gi-otesque forms which the fraits assume, the unusual richness and beautifully 
marbled colours, combined with elegantly divided and handsome foHage, render Gomds objects of 
great mterest and curiosity. In their style of growth there is always a chaim, especially where many 
varieties are cultivated. Verandahs, sloping banks— even blank walls would be made attractive if 
these curious and beautiful productions of nature were allowed to grow over them, offerino' during 
their early growth real artistic beauty in form of foliage, and in autumn a picturesque appearance 
never attained by any other plants.
