CARTERS ORNAMENTAL GOURDS 
Ornamental Gourds, require about the same cultivation as Vegetable Marrows or Squash, and 
should be largely grown in Flower Gardens and Pleasure Grounds. 
Trained over a Pergola, they form a distinct, interesting, and beautiful feature. The smaller fruit- 
ing Apple, Orange, Pear, and Egg-shaped kinds produce a charming effect when trained over arches, 
while the majority of varieties have a very charming effect when tied up to poles.
