 I don't know that sprouting inside the pumpkin says anything about the
 genetic quality of the seed.  However, I would theorize that pumpkin flesh
 should be nature's ideal medium in which to sprout pumpkin seeds.  I am
 saving some frozen pumpkin flesh to experiment with to see if it would help
 to facilitate seed sprouting.  I can think of several different ways to try
 this.  Has anyone experimented with this before?  Any thoughts?

Tomato pulp produces a beneficial bacteria that protects the seeds.  I'm not 
sure if Pumpkins do the same.
