Narrative
Fruits are light green with dark green striped rinds, well adapted for shipping. Melons average 25 lbs. and are blocky round. The rind is betw. 3/4- 1 inch thick. Fruits have a deep red, firm, fine-textured flesh 10-13% sugar. Seeds are small and dark brown mottled. Fruits mature at most locations about 35 days from pollination. Vine vigor is very good and plants have been resistant to anthracnose and fusarium wilt. Flesh color appears lighter on heavy than on sandy or sandy-loam soil.
