AFRICAN PIPE GOURD 
A luxuriant, rapid-growing annual 
climber, adaptable to all purposes for 
which climbing plants are used; and be¬ 
sides, it produces the Ornamental Gourds 
from which are made the African Cala¬ 
bash pipes now so popular on account of 
their lightness, grace and meerschaum 
coloring qualities. 
When grown for the production of pipe 
Gourds, the vines are usually allowed to 
grow on the ground like Cucumbers, 
Pumpkins, etc., so that the fruits in place 
of hanging down and growing straight, 
will take their natural pipe curve; though 
if grown on trellis, the Gourds may be 
shaped by tying up with cheese cloth or 
by using perforated boards with pegs. 
Directions for growing, curing and mak¬ 
ing pipes from these Gourds are sent with 
every package of seed. (See cut.)
