 quality, however, that we find it excelling other market 

 varieties. The immense hearts develop with remarkable 

 rapidity and are noticeable for the very small growth of 

 outer spreading leaves, making it possible to grow more New

 has only lately gained popularity. In certain isolated sec-

 than this well known melon. In shape it is oblong, ribbed 

 and heavily netted. The flesh is green, very solid and thick, 

 having a delicious flavor that is equaled by only few melons
