607 85 days. Originated and introduced by Reuter. Still 
one of the finest Watermelons ever developed for. home and 
nearby market use. In quality and flavor, there are few 
melons offered today that will compare to it. Imagine the. best 
flavored Watermelon you have ever tasted, add to it flavor, 
sweetness, size and you have some conception of the famous

up to its thin, tough rind—has a delectable flavor. The 
luscious, large, solid, red heart is melting and absolutely free 
from cores and hard centers. :
