GOURDS. Ornamental. 
The varieties listed below should be well worth 
becoming acquainted with. Gourds are easily 
grown and when properly dried and varnished 
last indefinitely. 
*La Montagne Strain. This is the finest mixed 
strain we have ever seen. Our seed comes direct 
from the originator, Louis La Montagne of Wo¬ 
burn, Mass., who has spent considerable time 
developing this specialty of his. Mr. La Mon¬ 
tagne has written a circular outlining his method 
of growing Gourds, a copy of which we will 
gladly enclose with your order if requested.
