Ornamental Gourds 
Gourds (Ornamental) 
Can be easily grown in any 
soil. Gourds mature and ripen better 
if trained over fences or trellis. Sow 
seed in hills 3 feet apart and allow 3 
plants to grow in each hill. Watering 
during flowering period will cause 
dropping of flowers and buds, and 
consequent loss of Gourds. Do not har- 
vest Gourds until stem becomes brown 
and pressure with the fingernail cannot 
dent the shell of the Gourd. After 
picking, Gourds should be hung in anv 
airy, dry place until thoroughly cured.
