6276 SO days. Imagine eating a big, juicy serving of delicious, sweet Watermelon with not a 
single hard seed to interfere with your enjoyment—there will be a few undeveloped seeds, 
but they're soft and they'll be unnoticed, like those in a Cucumber. You can now grow 
this Melon right in your own garden and easily too. It has the well-known hybrid vigor 
and produces husky, disease resistant vines that bear a fine crop, with a very high sugar 
content. Firm, dark green rind and colorful flesh of superb quality. 
The seeds you sow are very hard and need a high temperature to germinate. They 
should be notched or soaked in water for several hours before planting in warm soil. With 
them you should plant another early variety, such as Harris Earliest for cross-pollination. 
One plant of this standard variety will serve as pollen plant for 5 to 10 seedless plants.
