This brings up a question I wondered about as I was at Topsfield last
year and saw the various pumpkins on display:  What exactly is the
definition of a FIELD PUMPKIN.  This designation was present on a number
of pumpkins on display there.  How is a field pumpkin different from an
Atlantic Giant...or put another way, why is an Atlantic Giant not a
field pumpkin?
