(90 days) Open-pollinated. The deeply satisfying taste of its very sweet crisp dark red flesh brought CR’s 2014 CGCF Exhibition Hall talk to a fitting conclusion. Thank you, Rachel Katz. This almost-round 10x12" light green melon with bold dark green stripes has defined good watermelon eating since 1964 when it was developed by Dr. CV Hall of Kansas State University. Tolerance to ANTH1,3 and F1,2 and a thick skin suitable for shipping make it a commercial favorite in the Middle Atlantic states and the Southeast. 9.9% Brix at WSU trials. Vigorous vines. Pam Dawling who grows seed for it says 22 melons yield 1 lb of seed. 1978 AAS winner. Recommended only for growers in climates warm enough to grow a 25 lb watermelon. Not adapted to cold northern areas. ③
