90 days [Rare SC heirloom. Bred in the 1840s by an unnamed African-American man at Pomaria Nursery.] Very large melons (30-35 lbs) have exceptional storage quality and a rich sweet flavor said to rival the legendary “Bradford.” The fruit is light green with pink flesh and tender white rind perfect for pickling. Our seed is grown by Rodger Winn from stock stewarded by his wife Karen Metzes’s family since 1880. Pkt (2 g, ~31 seeds).
