We start all our seed plants in a greenhouse in controlled growing conditions.  Our largest gourds are planted in the greenhouse for a long growing season to produce top-quality seeds.  All our seed is hand-pollinated to maintain pure strains, and we guarantee 80% minimum germination.  Growing instructions are sent free with each order.

Each packet contains twelve seeds except African Wine Kettle and Bushel 100+ which have six seeds per packet. An order of one to twenty-five packets is $3.00 each, postpaid; an order of twenty-six to fifty is $2.75 per packet, postpaid. We will include a surprise packet with every order of five packets or more.  Since we do everything by hand, all our seeds is inspected 3 times. Please call for quantity discounts and shipping fees for orders of over 50 packets.  If we are out of a variety you order, we will substitute unless you tell us not to.

For those not familiar with the different varieties, we have a Gourd Identification Chart priced at $3.00. It is available in poster format (18"x22") or as a four-page booklet (9"x11").  Order  it at the same time you order seeds for the special price of $2.00 postpaid.

Other products:

Gourds:   Yes, we sell gourds-most of them have small holes where the seeds have been taken out.  Please call for availability.  At present we have some snakes, long-handled dippers, Martin Houses, and lots of sub-miniature mix and other small gourds.
