Muskmelon (Cucumis melo 'Early Silver line') - Description

Unique, elongated oriental melon. White, crisp flesh sweet and fragrant. A small delicious gourmet melon rarely found in markets. Yellow skin lined with silvery furrows, so thin it can be peeled like an apple. Harvest 76 days after sowing. GARDEN HINTS: For earlier harvest in short summer areas, sow seeds indoors in a warm, well-lighted area 4-6 weeks before last spring frost. Before transfer to garden, accustom seedlings to outdoor conditions by moving to a sheltered place outside for a week.
