Some champion pumpkins weigh more than a small car, tipping the scales past a ton. These orange giants belong to a special kind of squash called the Atlantic Giant, and growers spend all summer coaxing them to swell to enormous sizes.  \nThat summer of coaxing starts with one small seed pressed into rich, warm soil. A grower waters the plant carefully, feeds it, and picks  \njust one pumpkin to keep on the whole vine so all the plant's energy pours into a single fruit. During the hottest weeks, that lucky pumpkin can pack on dozens of pounds in a single day. Can you imagine getting heavier than your backpack overnight, every night, for weeks?  \nAll that fast growing can leave a pumpkin looking a little lumpy and lopsided. As the fruit balloons, the skin stretches and the pumpkin often flattens out instead of staying round, spreading wide like a giant orange pillow. Growers guard these tender giants from too much sun and rough weather, sometimes shading them with sheets or tents so the skin does not crack. One careless bump can end a whole season of hard work.  \nWhen autumn arrives, all that careful tending leads to the most exciting day of the year: the weigh-off. At these contests, growers bring their pumpkins on trucks and use forklifts or teams of people to lift them onto a huge scale. Crowds cheer as the numbers climb higher and higher, and the biggest pumpkin of the day earns bragging rights and sometimes a prize. It is a bit like a county fair, but the vegetables are the size of furniture!  \nYear after year, those cheering crowds have watched the record for the heaviest pumpkin keep climbing. Today the world record stands at more than 2,700 pounds, which is heavier than areal horse. Growers around the world trade seeds from their champion pumpkins, hoping the next one will be bigger still. So the next time you carve a jack-o'-lantern, remember that somewhere a gardener is dreaming of a pumpkin as big as a car.  \nGiant Pumpkins  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What special kind of squash are giant pumpkins?\u003Cbr>A.
