earlier and about the size of Rocky Ford.

dium size, round or slightly oval, 5 to 6 inches in 
diameter, and weigh about 6 pounds each. The skin 
is smooth with an occasional net and when fruits 
are ripe is creamy yellow in color. Flesh light

sugary flavor. Rind thin but very firm and the 
fruits stand shipping remarkably well. If picked 
shortly before fully mature, the fruit will keep 
for several weeks. Matures about 2 weeks later 
than Rocky Ford.

similar to the green-fleshed Honey Dew melon, only
