Watermelon, Winter King and Queen

New for 2012  90-100 days. A unique and rare winter keeper melon. With light-green skin on the outside and pink-red on the inside, these melons have a good sweetness and excellent flavor. Some refer to this type of melon as a Christmas melon because it will often store after picked well into December and we have definitely eaten them for Thanksgiving and beyond. Late maturing for the northwest but this is no problem if you pick them with the winter squash before frost in October. According to Washington State University trials, it is high yielding in number of fruit and total marketable weight. They also reported it to be crack resistant with an average weight of 9 lbs per melon. Once sold by R.H. Shumway's, and Nichols Garden Nursery but no longer. We have been saving this seed since 2003 and are excited to reintroduce it!
