Crimson SweetÂ
Watermelon
Large 25 lb. striped watermelon.
Full Description
Large, round melons averaging 25 lb. are light green with dark green stripes. Flesh is dark red, firm and fine-textured. Resistant to Fusarium wilt and anthracnose. GARDEN HINTS: For early fruiting and to overcome a short growing season, start seeds in a warm, well-lighted indoor area 3 to 4 weeks before last spring frost. Before transfer to garden, accustom plants to outdoor conditions by moving to a sheltered area outside for a week. Grow on plastic mulch to control weeds, conserve soil moisture and protect fruit by keeping it off the ground.
Crimson Sweet melons, because of their extremely high sugar content and wonderful flavor, are favored in southern gardens; they also adapt well to other climates, making them by far the most popular watermelon in the United States. This melon comes from a cross between Miles/Peacock and Charleston Gray watermelons. Crimson Sweet won the prestigious AAS Award in 1964.
