The Watery Pumpkin
Dear Aunt Daisy, 2 1 heard you'say ‘in one of your broadcasts, that a. lady. asked if she could make jam out of watery’ pumpkins. Well,, I say "No, they are then only fit for pigs.’ The seed has run out; and that is what is the cause of the pumpkins being watery. When people ‘save . seeds from pumpkins, Kumi-Kums, or marrows, they should ‘save the seeds from the end of the half where the stalk grows, not ‘from the flower end. Then they will never have watery pumpkins. We have proved this for years.-"White Cliffs" (Pukearuhe, Waitara). Well,.I .didn’t know. that; and have often been. disappointed, in the pumpkins we have grown from the seeds of those we had enjoyed. We must remember your advice, Thank’ you ’very. much,
