ROBIN SEEDS PAGE II 
ITALIAN EDIBLE GOURD 


When approximately 12'' in length, this edible gourd 
can be prepared under several different recipes and be- 
comes quite a delicious dish. Its chief value, in our opinion, 
however, will remain in its novelty aspects. Its speed of 
growth will actually amaze the grower and when used to 
cover fences, arbors, etc., its use is met with enthusiasm. 
When fully matured, the fruits, as pictured, will measure 
as much as four feet in length. It should be carried in all 
catalogues as a novelty item. 
SMALL ORNAMENTAL MIXED GOURDS 

More dealers every year are discovering the sales 
appeal and remarkable profit potential in handling both 
the ornamental gourd seed and, in the fall, the actual 
gourds. When properly cleaned and varnished, ORNA- 
MENTAL GOURDS afford a highly decorative home dec- 
oration, and when used in show windows or incorporated 
in a sales display they cause no end of interested comment 
with resulting sales stimulation. Our Research Department 
has worked intensely over a number of years in developing 
our very highly colored, unusual mixtures. All sizes, shapes, 
-colors, and types are included.
