It's not science fiction By MARY LEE WILLMAN It looks like something straight out of a science fiction movie. It is an enormous pumpkin vine — and the neighbors admit they are keeping a cautious eye on the situation. The vine is growing in the yard at the home of Kay Wilson. It is also growing around two sides of the house: around and around and around a fire bush: it's made about five trips up and down a sloping hill; up the railing of the porch steps and around the porch. One long runner is headed for the neighbors house. The vine is estimated to be about 150 feet long and growing. Mrs. Wilson says its been growing at a rate of about three foot per week since it came up on the porch. The runner stalks measure an inch, to two inches in diameter. The leaves are more than a foot across. The vine has blossoms but no pumpkins. Last year Mrs. Wilson’s sister, Lucille llobell, brought home some gourds and pumpkins that were part of the table decorations at a dinner she attended. She put the decorations down in the basement and forgot all about them. Early this spring she found the remains of the decorations and tossed them out for the birds. No one thought anymore about it until the pumpkin vine started its explosive growth. Mrs. Wilson and Mrs llobell are quite puzzled about the whole thing. Now the entire neighborhood is curious to see what else will happen with the vine before it freezes out this winter. It would be interesting io see what sort of pumpkins a vine that size might produce. Maybe those pictures in children’s story books, showing people living in large pumpkins, isn’t so far fetchedafter all.
