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
This melon is about half the the size of Burpees Early Hybrid, but is more productive and is not prone to splitting and cracking. Has typical Crenshaw flavor. Very uniform in growth with few culls.
