Scaly Bark WATERMELON 3 g

90 days. [1881, Peter Henderson Co.] Unusual blue-green mottled skin has a rough look like that of tree bark, and the rind is also as tough as bark; in Peter Henderson’s book Gardening for Profit, he enthused, "in 1884, a specimen of this variety left in our office stood a pressure of 1250 pounds before breaking." (Grower Rodger Winn notes that this is not true if the melons are left too long in the field!) 12-25 lb roundish fruits, scarlet red flesh, black seeds, crisp, sweet flavor. Pkt
