<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: small;">What&#8217;s in the Clearance Box? Each box contains 40 randomly selected gourds, which means shapes will vary (and each box is different!), 17 gourds in the 5-12 inch diameter size and 23 gourds in the mini size (under 3 inches).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.welburngourdfarm.com/clearancesalebox.aspx"><img src="http://www.welburngourds.com/images/clearance2.jpg" border="0" alt="uncleaned gourd" hspace="3" vspace="1" width="100" height="146" align="left" /></a>These are <strong>quality gourds,</strong> not rotten or ugly throwaways, and because they are randomly selected you get various shapes and every box is different!</span></p>
