This melon is actually just an alternate name for the Kleckly's Sweet. It is rather picky about growing conditions and has the greatest tendency to bottle nose of any cultivar that i have grown. A decent melon in its age group if it sizes up. A big one (25 - 30 lbs) tastes pretty good. Under 20 lbs , pretty much inedible.
