I looked them up in my commercial catalog and it says

"beautiful unique, specialty eggplant variety from Turkey. These insect resistant plans are 20" tall and set huge crops of orange fruit,shaped like small pumpkins. Plant Turkish Orange eggplant and French marigolds for a full season of insect free garden beds or containers. Use mature orange fruits as decorations, The unique fruits are best eaten in the green fruit stage, good for stuffing at the orange stage, wonderful also as a cut flower in bouquets".

This is almost verbatim from my Grimes growers seed catalog, but how you would use them for a cut flower bouquet is beyond me. It would seem to me that they would be a little top heavy and break the oasis if you use them that way.

I hope this helps some. This does not appear to be the pumpkin on a stick variety, though.
