MISCELLANEOUS ANNUALS—Continued 
Ornamental Gourds—all types mixed 
GOURDS, Ornamental. The varieties 
listed below should be well worth be¬ 
coming acquainted with. Gourds arc 
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 Woburn, Mass., 
who has spent considerable time de¬ 
veloping this specialty of his. Mr. La 
Montagne has written a circular out¬ 
lining his method of growing Gourds, a 
copy of which we will gladly enclose 
with your order if requested. 
Tr. pkt., 35c; >A oz., 50c; oz., $1.50.
