Casaba Golden Beauty Melon was introduced in the 1920s. It has a tough wrinkled rind maturing to a golden color. Fruits are 7-8 lbs., crown blight resistant with a thick white aromatic faintly spicy flesh.
Great for home gardeners and small markets, an excellent shipper and will keep for months. Specifically adapted to hot dry climates of the Southwest.
Growing tip: Melon seeds dislike cold soil. It's better to wait until the soil is warm to plant the seeds. Also, melons don't like to have their roots disturbed, so when thinning out seedlings in hills, cut the stems of those you want to remove, rather than pulling them out.
