Overall Taste Yield Ease	Richmond, Georgia, United States Frost Free Season: 183 - 203 days Soil Texture: Sand Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40') Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day
A popular shipping melon, particularly on the west coast in the WWII era. It is a good melon, but not good enough to make my top ten. Taste is good, but inferior to many of the more modern melons like Crimson Sweet.
