Gourd Seeds.

We have GOURD SEEDS for sale. Hand pollinated-protected and field isolated gourd seeds. Bushel, dipper, apple, banana, kettle, bird house, martin, miniature nigerian bottles, snake, warty, basketball, cannonball, and more for growers and  crafters . We have hardshell and ornamentals gourd seeds.  Please read Helpful information you should know before ordering gourd seeds.  Hand pollination and protected seeds means that just before the gourd flower was to open it was covered so bees and insects could not pollinate it.  Later, when the bloom was fully opened under protection it was hand pollinated by someone and then recovered so bees and insects would not be able to cross pollinated the flower.  This would ensure that the gourd seeds from that gourd would produce the same type gourd next year when the seeds are planted.  Field isolation  means that  gourds are propagated in semi-controlled conditions by field isolation for the purpose of obtaining the best quality gourd seed and  pureness to parent variety. This method does not guarantee complete elimination of bees and insects visitation but is the second best method of retaining best pureness of gourd seed to parent variety at a lower cost.

These are the seeds available in 2006. Click here to print Gourd Seed Order Form
