Schoon’s Hard-Shell, a newcomer that you can’t afford to miss. 
? fe 88 days. A new and excellent flavored 
Schoon's Hard-Shell melon somewhat on the order of 
Bender’s Surprise in shape and general appearance. It is valu- 
able, especially for its extra hard shell which makes it fine for 
marketing as it will stand up better than most varieties. It is 
deeply ribbed, covered with a grayish yellow rope-like netting 
except for the distinct stripes or interstices. Skin is a beautiful 
yellow, flesh is medium in grain, red salmon in color, and the 
sweet, tasty flavor calls for more. Weight about 6 to 7 pounds.

appearance suited to local market and will 
ship short distances. As grown here average weight about 5% lbs. 
The skin is grey or slate in color and covered with a medium 
coarse, loosely laced netting; having much the appearance of a 
very large Honey Rock. Flesh is golden, very thick; not fine in 
texture but of good flavor. Withstands excessive moisture and 
retains its flavor better than most other varieties under such con- 
ditions. Honorable Mention “All America” Selections for 1989.
