AMERICA THE INNOVATIVE:
It's Alive! And It Grows Into a Jack-o'-Lantern (JENNIFER MEDINA, OCT. 12, 2014, NY Times)
Like Victor Frankenstein, Tony Dighera was determined to bring a new creature to life. Though he was fairly new to farming, Mr. Dighera saw profit to be made in strangely shaped pumpkins.So he created a "pumpkinstein."Grown in a plastic mold, the pumpkins bear the distinctive face of the Frankenstein monster, and Mr. Dighera has harvested roughly 5,500 of them this year. With a slight smile, a wide button nose, a slightly furrowed brow and ears sticking out just slightly, the pumpkins are easy to mistake for something carved from wax.
