Cucumis melo
90 days. Refreshingly sweet and juicy cantaloupe-type melon with a musky, fruity aroma. Medium-sized melons have a small seed cavity which means more flesh. Ripens apricot orange with netting on the rind. Good resistance to Downy Mildew. This melon was created by a cross of two of the most popular melons during the 1920’s and 1930’s in the upper Midwest. It was then introduced under the name “Pride of Wisconsin” by the Robert Buist Seed Company in 1937. There is some natural variability in shape, size, and netting of this variety.
