[Sparrow Industrial Pictures Ltd. photo. Novelty vegetables: Ornamental gourds (of the order Cucurbita pepo) are very prolific and have varying skin colours and markings ranging from dark green to bright yellow. The fruit has a hard, wax-like rind. It is not edible and is used solely for decorative purposes. The fruits illustrated, with the exception of the three round fruits on right side of dish, which are orange marrows, are from one plant. Orange marrows besides being useful vegetables are interesting novelties. If displayed in a fruit bowl, they look like oranges.
