Seeds of Curious and Ornamental Gourds 
Interesting in the Garden—Decorative in the House 
Rapid growing annual climbers suitable for BOWIE around arbors, trellises, fencing, etc. Large fruited gourds 
are used as dippers, bird houses, etc., and the smal 
Culture. Gourd seeds are usually sown in the open ground 
in May. In order to increase the size of the gourds, holes may 
be dug 18 inches deep and filled with manure upon which is 
placed a layer of soil 6 to 8 inches thick. In this soil the seed 
is sown 2 or 3 seeds to each hole. For a normal crop of gourds 
this procedure is not necessary as they will thrive in any good 
garden loam. For an early crop seed may be sown in pots 
vlaced in hotbeds and set out into the open ground when all 
danger of frost is past. This adds to the time of maturing 
the gourds on the vine. When very large fruits are desired, 
only two or three should be left on each plant. The branches
