GOURDS (Ornamental) 
These are desirable in many places where an 
immense amount of vine is wanted quickly. The blooms 
of some are quite striking and handsome. With many 
sorts the fruit is unique and ornamental and often 
useful. The small fancy gourds are excellent toys for 
children, while the larger gourds may be used as dip¬ 
pers, sugar troughs and bowls.
