GOURDS 
New and Rare Orna- 
mental Gourds, in 
Mixtures and Sepa- 
rate 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 trel- 
lises as ornamentals or 
used as ground covers. 
The fruit should be al- 
lowed to become fully 
ripe and nard 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.
