FLOWERING PLANTS 
During May and June we offer seed- 
ling flowering plants in the most

tions determine just how early 
plants are ready, but the plant sea- 
son usually begins the forepart of 
May and extends well into June.

Ornamental Gourds 
Gourds (Ornamental) 
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 ary airy, 
dry place until thoroughly cured.
