Not a cantaloupe, honeydew or muskmelon, there is simply no other melon like this one. It's deliciously fragrant, very sweet and slightly spicy. The creamy white fruit inside is enticingly marbled with pale orange, and the rind is orange to yellow and lightly netted. Melons are 7 to 8" in diameter and slip from the vine when ripe. Plants yield like mad, fruits ripen fast and are great for northern climates.
