SC - where do you get these gourds , Please?

[Seton1355 at aol.com]

I did not know, until after I made the meal, My Lord, and all I had was canned
pumpkin anyway...BUT.....I wanted to try the soup again using a different
squash so thank you for pointing me in the right direction!  But where do you
get these gourds?  I've never heard of them.  Do they go by another name?
Thank you, 
Phillipa
