Small Ornamental Gourds 
These small fruited Gourds are fast becoming a nation wide fad. When dried and varnished, 
they become bright, glistening, highly colored novelties that are most interesting and attractive. 
They are very easily grown in any 
fair garden soil and produce their 
fruits freely. Allow them to 
remain on the vine until fully 
matured and hard, pick them 
carefully not to bruise them, 
cure at least two weeks in a dry 
airy place (not in the sun) and 
then varnish them. We offer 
them in many separate varieties 
on page 17. Many prefer to 
grow them that way, but the 
mixture offered here contains 
all the named varieties shown in 
color on Page 29 and many other 
odd sorts.
