Nearly round, medium sized melons. Flesh is bright orange and very sweet. An established garden variety, especially in the northeast. Resistant to fusarium wilt.
SOWING…Plant seed outdoors in spring when the ground is warm and all danger of frost is past. Make a group of 4-6 seeds placed in a ring about 2 inches across; cover with ½ inch of fine soil, well pressed down. Each ring of seeds is called a hill and hills should be spaced 4 to 6 feet apart each way.
THINNING…When plants are 2-3 inches high, thin leaving the 3 or 4 strongest plants in each hill.
GERMINATION…Germinates in 8 to 10 days depending on soil and weather conditions.
REMARKS…Mulch to control moisture and water heavily when bearing flowers and small fruit. Feed every three to four weeks.
