In 1936 Henry A Dreer Seed Co. stated: “This new muskmelon is outstanding for the delicious sweetness and rich aroma of its tender, luscious, salmon-colored flesh. The fruits are almost round. They are of medium size but have extremely thick flesh surrounding the small seed cavity. The skin of the heavy fruits is a gray-green color showing a rough netting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e20 seeds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #219250;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/6282\/t\/58\/assets\/aas-icon-cmyk.jpg\" alt=\"Honey Rock Melon (Heirloom, 90 Days)\" data-original=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/6282\/files\/AAS_Icon_cmyk_50x50.jpg?v=1601044604\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #219250;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLANTING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCucumis melo\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-10 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination Temperature: \u003c\/b\u003eOptimum soil temperatures 70-85\u003cb\u003eº\u003c\/b\u003eF\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed Sowing Depth:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e1\/2\" deep\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSowing Indoors:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-4 weeks before the last frost. Provide 70-85\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eº\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eF\u003c\/span\u003e soil temperature. Sow 2-3 seeds per cell\/pot. \u003cspan\u003eSowing into individual biodegradable peat\/cow pots reduces root \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edamage when transplanting.
