Southern

Southern — a unique mid-early melon variety of American selection, maturing approximately in 120 days from sowing to harvest. The plant is medium-height, and the fruit has a slightly ribbed, round-cylindrical shape. The fruit color varies from light green to yellow with wide grayish mottled stripes. The rind is thin but firm, providing reliable protection for the flesh.

The melon flesh is light yellow, dense, sweet, and slightly fibrous, making this variety ideal for dietary nutrition and home cooking. The seeds are seedless, meaning they lack a coarse shell, which simplifies their use. Thanks to its versatility, the Southern melon is suitable for various culinary applications.

The variety is known for its resistance to powdery mildew, enhancing its reliability in cultivation. It can be planted either as seedlings or directly sown into the ground, making the growing process flexible and convenient for different conditions.
