CLIMBING and TRAILING PLANTS | 
No garden is complete without a few of the popular climbing and trailing plants. We have A 
listed here the most pleasing sorts from among your favorites. ‘ 
New and Rare Ornamental Gourds, in 
Mixtures and Separate Varieties. 
Gourds grow in most every section of the 
world, and we have gone to great expense to 
give our customers very selected and new var¬ 
ieties. Gourds will grow in any type of soil. 
We recommend growing in the poorer soils be¬ 
cause they do not go so much to vine and 
more to the fruit. They may be trained on 
trellises as ornamentals or used as ground 
covers. The fruit should be allowed to become 
ripe and hard before picking. After picking, 
scrub thoroughly clean and cover with varnish. 
It is becoming a great hobby all over the 
world to decorate by hand the hard shelled 
types.
