ORNAMENTAL GOURDS 
Gourds make gay winter decorations when thoroughly ripened, 
eured and varnished. When painted in bright color combina- 
tions, they are very attractive braided in strings for wall deco- 
rations or when loosely arranged in flat bowls for the table. 
Many useful things are made from Gourds, such as hanging bas- 
kets, vases, wall pockets, fruit bowls, dippers, pipes, nest eggs, 
bird houses, toys, etc. We offer the following separate varieties:
