    Excellent small melon with pale yellow flesh. Melons are round, light green with dark green stripes, average 10-12 lbs. Very sweet and quite productive. I actually grew this one out to F4 and segregated to a long grey melon with dark yellow flesh (appearance of Texas Golden but better flavor) and a small (softball-size), very brittle, white-flesh variety.
