A classic heirloom favorite dating from the 1920s, this ribbed melon has a heavily netted skin. Also called muskmelon. Slightly more drought tolerant than most melons, but all melons are more than 90% water. Likes hot weather. Delicious, firm flesh is rich with antioxidants. To save space, plant 1 ft. apart at the base of a trellis where vines can climb. Maturity: 85-days after planting.
