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 varieties. Gourds will grow in the poorer soils because 
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.

of the finest colored warted types. Pkt. 25c.

which needs no varnish. Has curved claws, not sharp, but 
very unusual. Pkt. 25c.

dian war club. Pkt. 25c. 
2870 Penguin or Bottle Gourd. (From Egypt). This is a hard 
shelled type and can be painted black and white to resemble 
a penguin. Pkt. 25c.

IPOMOEA 
MORNING GLORY 
Hardy Annual 
Popular for trellis, arbors, fences and so forth. They should be 
planted where they are to grow, in April or May, in well-dug,

hours until they show signs of swelling before planting there 
will be a better germination.

gigantic flowers. Excellent for pot, window box and balcony.
