100 days. Citrullus lanatus. Open Pollinated. The plant produces high yields of small dark green watermelons. This is not your typical watermelon. It has white flesh with red seeds. The flesh is tasteless and is used to make preserves and sweetmeats that are added to fruitcakes, cookies, and puddings. It got its name from the unique appearance of its white flesh with bright red seeds! The best ones can be stored for up to a year. Drought-Tolerant. A variety that was widely grown in the 1930s and 1940s. An excellent choice for home gardens.

Watermelon Seed Planting Information:

Watermelons require a lot of space and a sunny location on your garden. Plant 5 to 7 seeds in a diameter outdoors in hills. Planting should occur 1 to 2 weeks after last frost. Plants grow 1 ft tall and vines spread up to 6 ft.

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile soil in a well drained location in the garden. Apply much and grass clippings, or straw around base of plant. Add well-rotted manure and compost to soil.

Water Requirements:

Water well during dry and hot spells. Make sure plants get 1" water per week.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use RootBlast, Vegetable Alive, and Slow Release Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle Gro every two weeks.

Harvest Tips:

Protect ripening watermelons from damp ground by placing them on boards. Tap the watermelon with your knuckles, and if it sounds hollow, it's ready. Cut watermelons carefully from plants to prevent damaging the vines.
