Turkestan. "The Turkestan muskmelons were imported into Hungary by the 

 famous linguist, Wambery, nearly fifty years ago from Turkestan, Central Asia, and 

 the importation was a great success. The fruit is sometimes round, sometimes oblong, 

 and weighs sometimes even 7 kilograms. The rind has a special yellow color, is 

 sometimes netted; the flesh has a greenish yellow color, is very sweet and juicy, and 

 so soft that it must be eaten with a spoon. It is far superior to any muskmelons of 

 this country." ( Waltherr.)
