Bumper pumpkin crop netted for Halloween
DALLAS (AP) — A bumper crop
of Texas pumpkins is waiting to be
carved into Halloween jack-o’-
lanterns, state agriculture officials
say.
“We had a little better season this
year than we did last year,” agri-
cultural extension agent Max Kemp
said Monday.
But retailers said the seasonal
popularity of pumpkin pie seems to
be waning.
“Most people do not buy a
pumpkin to make a pie with. It’s a
lot of work to make a pumpkin pie
from scratch,” said Bud Godwin,
produce merchandiser for Cullum
Companies Inc.
Demand high for traditional vegetable
Cullum’s Tom Thumb super-
markets got their first pumpkin
shipment last week, Godwin said.
The sale of frozen and canned
pumpkin also has decreased in the
past few years, Godwin said.
Most Texas pumpkins come from
areas where there was a prolonged
drought last year, Kemp said. He also
said the popularity of pumpkins for
ornamental use has increased in the
past few years.
“Everything was last-minute.

Now people start decorating with
pumpkins, ornamental corn and the
like in the first or second week in
October,” Godwin said.
Godwin said most Tom Thumb
stores reported selling about half of
their initial shipments of 700-800
jack-o’-lantern pumpkins per store.
Those average 20 pounds and sell for
$2.99, he said.
“You can’t size a pumpkin like
you do a watermelon,” Godwin said.
“Some can be pretty big and not
weigh a whole lot.”
The stores are also offering “baby
pumpkins” for 49 cents and Big
Mack pumpkins weighing 35-40
pounds and selling for $9.99, he said,
Most of Tom Thumb’s pumpkins
are grown in Texas, Godwin said.
“They’re well-shaped, and it’s
just a good-looking pumpkin crop,”
he said.
Probably 90 percent of all
pumpkins are used from Halloween
to Thanksgiving as decorations, said

Dr. Dick Edwards in the marketing
department of the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service in College Station.
“This is a specialty crop grown for
this market,” Edwards said, adding
that smaller pumpkins make better
decorations than larger ones.
An uncarved pumpkin kept in a
shady spot outdoors should easily last
the two weeks remaining until
Halloween, Godwin said. Carving
shortens a pumpkin’s lifespan, but
most of the decorating is done right
before the holiday, he said.
“A lot of people wait until the last
minute and have some kind of a
ceremony with the kids,” Godwin
said.
