A LL IN A ROW

Pot bright fall mums in a matched set of pumpkins,

right.

Choose flowers in 4- or 6-inch pots, carve openings in the

tops of the pumpkins, and slip the pots in.

LOOKING GLASS

In a decorative apothecary jar, petite gourds are displayed

like treasures,

bottom.

Garnet-hued leaves and a dried

hydrangea benefit from the same prescription.

CU RVY COLOR

A swan gourd hooked over a balcony rail,

bottom right,

becomes a hanging vase. Cut a 1- to 2-inch hole near the

neck of the gourd, remove a bit of the pith, and insert

mums, black-eyed susans, and a length of Virginia creeper. (nD
