Pride of Wisconsin Melon

Cucumis melo

A sweet and juicy muskmelon with top-notch flavor!

Reliable, even in drought years, this fabulous muskmelon delivers sweet, old-fashioned flavor. The fruits are oblong, ridged, and hard-shelled with a loose netting and blue-green skin ripening to pale yellow. The delectable, juicy-but-firm flesh is a beautiful golden-orange. Expect good yields of high-quality melons ranging from 4-8 lbs. Outstanding in our farm trials, this 1930s heirloom variety was originally grown for the Milwaukee markets.
