Luscious beyond description” was W. Atlee Burpee’s review from 1886. Sweet and juicy orange flesh with a rich, musky flavor and spicy cinnamon aroma that is prized to this day. A heavy producer with dark green, slightly netted skin. Short harvest window; collect melons when skin becomes netted and fruits slip from the vine. Also known as ‘Netted Gem’. Muskmelon, 2-3 lbs Vitamins+: B5, B6, C+++, K+, K+, Mn+ Companions: Marigold, Lettuce, Radish, Catnip, Alliums, Corn, Dill, Sunflower, Peas, Oregano, Nasturtium. Far from: Cucumber, Potato.
