| An excellent Galia type melon. They are large 4 + lbs , prolific, and early. Not quite as early as the original Galia, but only 3-4 days later. Flavor is excellent tho not as intense as the original Galia. It is also more uniform, and much less prone to splitting than Passport. |

| I was able to grow this great tasting melon in my unheated greenhouse last year but plan to grow this year in raised beds that I can cover in case of early frost. Mine were about 2 lbs.,lightly netted tan exterior and pale green interior. Very juicy and sweet. |
