Grow Gourd:! They’re interesting! They’re ecucational! They’re 
fun. 
If you like flowers—and who doesn’t, you will like Gourds better! 
Your Gourd vines wil! produce lovely white and yellow flowers and the 
vines can be trained to climb over walls, stumps, trellises or simply 
along the edge of your lawn or garden. They will produce attractive 
fruits of many shapes and color combinations—fine for table decora- 
tions—most acceptable gifts for friends. The small ornamental varieties 
will keep until after Christmas or later; the hard shelled kinds for 
years and they can be made into botties—bowls—candle-sticks—and 
many useful and attractive crafts.
