It is late to mature; size 10 inches in diameter; seed 
small, shiny black, flesh pink, solid and stringless. 
The flavor when cold is sweet, crisp and surprisingly 
delicious. Like the Cassaba it should not be eaten 
right off the vine, but be allowed to lie around until 
the first signs of decay. It decays slowly like an ap- 
ple, not like other watermelons. Pkt. 10c; oz. l7c; %4

mottled and veined; flesh bright scarlet, solid to the center, melting and
