the earliest large melon of high quality grown, and we recommend it highly for roadside trade and 
local markets. It will not stand long distance shipping. 
Our strain is noted for the large yield, vigor of vine, uniform size and type and remarkably 
sweet flavor. If you grow melons, plant some ITelicious. See prices below.
