Originally introduced in 1926 by Peter Henderson and Company, and thought for decades to have gone extinct, Moon and Stars was eventually rediscovered by Merle Van Doren of Macon, Missouri. Uniquely colored melons are very large (20-40lbs) and feature large yellow "moons" surrounded by many smaller "stars". Leaves are similarly spotted. The flesh is pinkish red with good flavor and juiciness. Moon and stars' seeds are larger than other varieties, but for those of us who like our watermelons with seeds, that only means that we can spit them farther. Approximately 85 days to harvest. Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds. Show more
