Fine netting, tough exterior, meltingly delicious sweet orange flesh, early yields. This variety is fairly easy to grow. Its tough rind repels rot and insect attacks, and its early production makes it a good choice for northern growers.

Growing instructions
Sow indoors under protection 2-3 weeks before last frost, or direct sow after last frost and when soil has warmed significantly. Provide fertile soil and plenty of space. As fruits mature, elevate using flat, porous stones or ceramic shards to avoid rotting fruit. Melons are ripe when they slip from the vine with a gentle tug; color will deepen and fruit will become aromatic.
