Phinney's Early Watermelon
A very early variety; medium and uniform size, and of beautiful form. One of the best croppers we know of. The skin is smooth, with uniform, narrow, white mottled, and dark green stripes. Flesh light red or pink; very sweet and delicious. For an early melon for family use, it has few superiors, but does not bear carriage well, on account of its thin, brittle rind.
