The ornamental gourds packet seen in retail stores has both types
of gourds, but you'll have to plant a lot of hills to be able
to sort them out.
Walmart and Lowes also sometimes have packets of just bottle gourd
seeds.
For bitter gourd/bitter melon, try asking at an asian grocery store.
The Pakistanis and Indians at work have indicated a strong interest
if I'd grow bitter gourds.
