CARTER’S ORNAMENTAL GOURDS 
Ornamental Gourds, which require about the same cultivation as Vegetable Marrows, should be 
largely grown in 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.
