SO days. Productiveness is equal to, or better 
Early Kansas than any other melon. So robust a grower that 
it should show a profit under conditions where other varieties might 
not. The earliest large, round shipping melon; usually 30 to 40 pounds 
with some specimens up to 60 pounds in weight. Rind tough, color 
light green with broad bands of wavy stripes. Flesh bright red, 
solid but not as melting as some. Hating quality fair. Well liked in 
Kansas and Oklahoma, but not recommended for all sections. Seeds 
red changing to buff when cured.
