S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Toasted pumpkin seeds have become an mcreasingly popular food, but it takes a real aficionado to shuck the hard seedcoats. The hull-less seeds of “Lady Godiva” pumpkin solve this problem because they have no coats, thanks to five years of research to develop this desirable quality. Pumpkin seeds are a nutritious food, ranking high both in quantity and quality of protein: “Lady Godiva” pumpkins made an attractive yellowish orange jack-o’-lantern.

Mrs. Thomas thanked the women for their support in the past and wished them the best “for continued success in all endeavors.” about six pounds-about the size of a volleyball. “These six pounders have as much seed about one cup--as supersize pumpkins that are three or four times bigger,” says Allan K. Stoner, a horticulturist with USDA’s Agricultural Research Service who developed the new variety. “Lady Godiva” pumpkins can also be planted closer together at two-foot intervals-than other varieties.” With good crop management practices, a grower can produce about 1,000 pounds of seed per acre. A 30-million pound market is readily available and could be easily increased by promoting the new coatless seeds,” Dr. Stoner said. After the seed is removed, the remainder of the pumpkin can be used as a livestock feed. The flesh is too coarse for use in pies. Further research is underway to combine the naked-seed characteristic with the good eating quality found in the flesh of other pumpkin varieties. Dr. Stoner points out that he is not the first to conduct research on pumpkins with naked seeds. The idea has been around since at least the 1930’s but heretofore had not been developed for com mercial production. This is the first year that “Lady Godiva” pumpkins have been sold com mercially. Seed of “Lady Godiva” has been distributed to major seed dealers. Seed is not available from USDA for general distribution. 31
