The calabashes should be left ~ long

will be no thicker than cardboard. and
in drying are liable to crack. On the

they are left on the vines too long.
Many of the gourds which are Of the
desired shape will be found worthless
owing to small defects and insect bites.
Often they are attacked by molds-for
which reason 1t Is not q bad idea to
place pieces OF board under the choicest
specimens. to keep them of the ground.
To prevent snout-bectles and other In
sects from biting the calabashes, they
