“Bred by Elwyn Meader and Albert Yaeger, intro. in 1959…a cross between New Hampshire Midget and Pumpkin Rind. The entire plant and fruits turn golden yellow when ripe. The flesh is pink/salmon, and pleasantly sweet with black seeds. Extremely early. 70 days.”

This heirloom water melon is a beauty. It is small, or as other sources say “personal size”. Leaves are yellow and so is the fruit. It matures very early. On my wine I had only one fruit but it was developing very fine. In my garden it turned out to be very sturdy, because the transplant was undermined by a mole few times during its existence. Unfortunatelly I picked it too early. At least I saved soome seeds for the next year. In my area water melons are very hard to grow. I dont know why, because in the next village it is no problem. The exception is the Golden Midget. He loved it here and I will give some seeds to my neighbours as a xmass present.
