Can be easily grown in any garden 
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 con- 
sequent 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 pick- 
ing, Gourds should be hung in any airy, 
dry place until thoroughly cured.
