I've asked this question on the gourd saving forum, but apparently they don't get much traffic over there. I've also tried Googling, but I can't find the specific answer I'm looking for.

Are the ornamental gourds that you buy at the market this time of year at the correct maturity stage for saving seeds? I bought several cool looking gourds to display beside my mums, and thought I'd like to take a stab at growing them myself next year. But I have no idea when that type of gourd is harvested or if they're considered "mature" when they're picked. All the articles I've read explain how to save seeds from your OWN gourds, but I'm wondering specifically about the ones that are commercially harvested for fall sales.
