| Excellent melon in every way. Supposed to be an improved crimson sweet, and to me, it is, especially in yield and uniformity. A top ten melon. |

| This one was developed by Auburn University in 1985. I have yet to find a watermelon in this series that I do not like. This one matches Crimson Sweet (one of its parents) in appearance and flavor. It is an improvement in size, uniformity and yield. |
