As I said in my earlier post, this happened here near Harrisburg, PA. It
was a nursery that bought the pumpkin for display. He claimed it was
_worth_ $1500.00, not that that was what he'd paid for it. As I also said
earlier, that cost might include the trip down, lodging, a stop in Atlantic
City...
Furthermore, he gave the impression that the big boys aren't even grown in
PA. Ha!
