ORNAMENTAL GOURDS 
It is a perpetual astoundment that fruits so utterly diverse 
in color, form and size can still all be Gourds. The fancy 
Gourds are becoming increasingly popular for centerpieces, 
winter decorative effects, and the like. Not only do they 
vary from, variety to variety, but even to some degree in 
the fruits produced on individual plants within the variety 
itself. Beyond the fruits, the Gourds make good quick- 
gi-owing summer vines for trellises, or fences, and they, 
have sometimes been used for temporary ground covers. 
We offer here a splendid mixture. Gourds large and small, 
self-colored, parti-colored, and in about every conceivable 
shape in which a Gourd has yet formed itself. Pkt. 10c.
