The plant makes a vigorous growth and is very productive, bearing a large number of melons, which are of about the same size and shape as the well-known Jenny Lind, with green flesh and of a delicious flavor.

The vines are strong, inclined to overbear, and whether fully grown or undeveloped, there seems to be no difference in quality, being sweet and crisp. The flesh is bright golden-yel- low, skin beautiful green and shape elon- gated. By laying them on the barn floor, away from chilly blasts, they kept well into the winter.
