JM132 Giant Cobb Gem
Produces giant watermelons of 125 pounds or more. Sweet crimson flesh.100 days. Kolb's Gem Watermelon, which is also known under the names of Cobb's Gem, State Fair and American Champion Watermelon, is a 19th century exhibition quality watermelon that produces huge watermelons weighing beyond 100 pounds in weight. This wonderful giant watermelon was originally developed by Reuben F. Kolb of Alabama in the 1880's. Kolb's Gem was first introduced to the public at large by D.M. Ferry and Co. in 1885 and was also recorded by the Nebraska Seed Company of Omaha, Nebraska in their annual catalogue in 1898. Its first documented appearance under the name of "Cobb's Gem" ocurred after the turn of the century when it was exhibited at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, Missourri in 1904. Following this, the variety came to be the watermelon of choice for exhibition growers and also picked up the names "State Fair Watermelon" and "American Champion Watermelon". Cannot ship to SC

1A094 Willhite's Tendergold
80 days. The rind is dark green with a mottled stripe of a lighter green.

The sweet yellow flesh turns more orange as it matures and the taste improves with time. Large black seed. A few days earlier than Orange Flesh Tendersweet and will last 7-20 days longer after ripening. Average weight 22 to 28 pounds. Cannot ship to SC

Average 30 pounds and with controlled planting or thinning could average up to 40 pounds. Cannot ship to SC

1A173 White Wonder
Beautiful, snow white flesh is so pale it is almost transparent! The small 3-8 lb icebox-sized fruit are round. The flavor is unique, fruity and so delicious. This refreshing variety is perfect for gourmet growers wanting to target high-class markets. They will add contrast to any display and are sure to bring attention at farmers markets. White-fleshed watermelons were common in the 1800's and Henry Fields was still selling seeds for a white-fleshed variety in the 1970's. But due to corporate agriculture, these genetic treasures are about to be lost This will be a shame as white-fleshed varieties date back hundreds of years and were developed in Africa from wild strains. This early variety is not for shipping as they crack easy, but you will enjoy their unique crispness fresh from the garden. Cannot ship to SC
