CARTERS ORNAMENTAL GOURDS. 
Ornamental Gourds, which require about the same cultivation as Vegetable Marrows, should be largely grown 
iii Flower Gardens and Pleasure Grounds. 
Trained over a Pergola, as illustrated above, they form a distinct, interesting, and beautiful feature. The 
smaller fruiting 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. 
The Pumpkin, Squash, and Turk’s Cap varieties are eaten very largely on the Continent and in the 
United States. .
