A very large, medium dark green, round melon of excellent 
quality. Flesh highly colored, very solid with fewer 
seeds than most watermelons. Has gained a well de- 
served popularity in the South where the fruits fre- 
quently attain a weight of 60 to 80 pounds. The rind 
is tough enough to stand handling for nearby markets 
but will not stand long distance shipping. Edible in 88 
days.
