Giant Apples? Anyone can have pumpkins and gourds growing in trees; it's just a matter of heading the vines in the right directions. This arrangement at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Kennedy of 107 Fairview has aroused much interest around the neighborhood.

How Many Pies In This One? Colleen Amo, 10, and Scott Amo, 11, are finding out that it's a little difficult to pick pumpkins this size, much less pile them up. One of the Halloween candidates weighted 96 pounds, and several others were more than 80 pounds. The Amos, of 2511 Pontiac, Ann Arbor Township, grew the pumpkins from a hybrid seed given them by a neighbor. They should be just about the right size for a picture window.

Budding Botanist: Dexter second-grader Peggy Brown, 7, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Brown of 7645 Third St., got more magic out of Halloween than she bargained for. She saved the seeds from her Halloween pumpkin in a glass jar for feeding to the birds this winter on the hedge in front of her house, where she has placed bread and other goodies for the past several years. A number of the seeds sprouted and now have vigorous green shoots as much as nine inches high. Noting that the shoots are considerably bulkier than the seeds from which they started, she is launching a secondary study of the magic of photosynthesis. Those seeds that didn't sprout are still for the birds.

THE NAME IS ON THE PUMPKIN: Fourteen-year-old Robert K. Harrington, an Ann Arbor News carrier living at 3632 Packard Rd. may be the only youngster in the area having his name permanently inscribed on a Halloween pumpkin. It was the gift of Lloyd L. Thayer of 2730 Carpenter Rd., who wrote the words with a steel scribe about eight weeks before the pumpkin was picked.
