to 18 inches long by 12 to 15 inches in diameter. Well- 
grown melons average 40 to 50 pounds, but frequently 
there are some that weigh from 60 to 80 pounds each. 
The rind is dark green, striped with narrow bands of a 
lighter green, and when ready for shipping the melons 
are seemingly of a solid dark green color, The flesh is 
red, the heart large, with no core, and the flavor superb.
