This is the species that I referred to as the Luffa Gourd (sponge). J.L.
Hudson is an excellent source for exotic seeds from all over the world!
Highly recommended! Their catalog is a reference source that is invaluable to
any serious horticulturist/gardener. Luffa seeds are also carried by local
sores and all major seed companys including Burpee.

medieval plants, there are a number of seed venders mentioned in this file
in the PLANTS, HERBS AND SPICES section of my SCA Rialto Files:
seeds-msg (41K) 9/15/95 Sources for period plants and seeds.
And at the risk of being repetitive, my files can be found at:
