| Excellent melon. Can get to be quite large.
I had one that exceeded 60 lbs. Very easy to grow. A top ten melon. |

| An improved Allsweet type that lives up to its hype. Great taste, uniformity, and reliability are its strong points. It is less susceptible to varying weather conditions than any cultivar I grow. I have tried and still experiment with several hybrids a year. Have not found one that can beat the open pollinated Legacy. |
