This melon is described by the introducers as 
follows: Equaling in flavor and as handsome in 
| color aS the Kleckley Sweets, but more regular in 
form, and much more productive. Growing as long 
as the Kleckley Sweets, the melons are blunt both 
at stem and blossom end, generally free from any 
appearance of neck. They average 18 to 20 inches 
in length; 6 to 8 inches in diameter. Color of rind 
a clear, glossy deep green. The flesh is a beautiful 
crimson, extending to within less than half an inch 
of the rind, which like the flesh is so tender it will 
not stand shipping any distance unless carefully 
handled. Itis essentially the home melon for the 
home garden and for local markets. I offer direct 
headquarters seed that can not be surpassed.
