CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 
Gourds and Dahlias both require a sunny location. Dahlias need a 
medium to heavy soil, while Gourds do well on sandy, well drained soil. 
Plant either after danger of frosts. Gourds grow nicely on walls, 
buildings or trellis, also on the ground. Commercial fertilizers are more 
convenient to use as top applications. Gourds require dusting often to 
control the insects, such as the cucumber beetle. Thorough working of 
the soil is beneficial. Harvest dahlias after frost, store in a cool cellar 
in tight containers. Pick the gourds when stems show a brown condition, 
wash them in weak insecticide solution, dry and store in a cool shed for 
several weeks. Wax and polish with a good paste wax. Shellac or 
varnish is not recommended. All gourd seeds are in generous packets. 
All dahlia tubers are field-grown only, and mailed as priced in first to 
fourth zones. To other zones, add 50 cents for postage, per doz. tubers.
