Varieties of edible Bottle Gourd
Old Chinese variety
I have 2 kinds of Bottle Gourd, the other one
shown below is an Old Chinese Variety. The
seed was brought over to this country by a
family several generations ago, they shared
some of their plants with me. This one is also
very good eating, but this one grows larger
than the other one that is pictured above.
