Crenshaw Burpee's Early Hybrid - 1 Pkt. (30 seeds)

"Melons do best when grown in clusters (hills). Sow groups of 3 or 4 seeds in groups 2' apart when soil is thoroughly warm.

First Crenshaw early enough to grow in the North. Vigorous vines produce bumper crops of oval melons up to 14 lbs. each. Firm, thick, peach-pink fruit has delicious, subtle flavor; tops for freezing. Dark green skin ripens to yellowish green. Burpee bred. Sun. Proven tops for performance, flavor and wide adaptability."

"This melon performs well in the intermountain west in our USDA 6b zone. The melons are very large and I have grown some that were in the 14 lb. range. This hybrid is about 2 weeks earlier than the Open pollinated Crenshaw. These fruit taste very much like honeydew melons but are consistently sweeter and have orange flesh. They are very aromatic when ripe and are a real treat to eat. The vines and leaves on these are every bit as vigorous as Ambrosia canteloupe. If you provide them with plenty of organic matter and manure they will perform well. I have always grown them with drip irrigation and used a fertilizer high in phosphorus and moderate in nitrogen and potash. if you want to try something different that you don't see everyday this is a great one to try."

"Earlier than most of my cantelopes varieties I planted and extremely sweet! Melons were mostly over ten pounds and prolific."
