★ GOLDEN CHAMPLAIN 
This is still the earliest melon in our trial gardens. It 
blossoms and sets fruit as soon as it starts to run, and 
you will often find 10 or 12 melons bunched around the 
plant. 
The melons are netted, ribs are prominent, the flesh 
is thick and a beautiful golden yellow. The quality is 
good to extra good, and above all, it is early, maturing 
melons in about 72 days.
