| Excellent melon with good yields and few culls. Flesh is very dark red, so much so, that you tend to think that it's over ripe. |

| This is one of my favorite melons. Resembles a Dixie Queen but has dark red flesh. The sweetest open pollinated melon that I have grown, better than the Crimson Sweet. It is also a larger melon, that runs 22 -30 lbs for me. Not quite as reliable as Legacy but even more tasty. |
