Pumpkin to raise money for cancer research

Outstanding Seed Co., Monaca, Pa., has a new, large, disease-resistant pink pumpkin available named Rascal PMRR. It has homozygous resistance to powdery mildew and heterozygous resistance to WMV and phythophthora.

Rascal PMRR was bred specifically to raise funds for cancer research. The Hoffman family, which runs Outstanding Seed, has been affected by cancer over the years, and the company will donate a portion of the sales dollars of Rascal PMRR to cancer research.
