I was wondering if anyone knew were I could find info on Giant Pear gourds. I can't find anything on the internet about them. How big do they get? Where to find seeds etc. The only thing I could find that is close is a kettle gourd, but their not the same thing are they? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Google Harry Hurley, he is a NC grower who sells seeds and
works closely with the NC Gourd society.
