In her book Melons for the Passionate Growers published in 2002, Amy Goldman praises this melon which, according to her, was offered by the seed growers Aggeler and Musser Seed Company as early as 1923. The description offered in their catalog spoke of a a very unique luxury product that they highly recommended .With light-green skin and pink-red flesh, these melons have a good sweetness and excellent flavor. This type is also known as a Christmas watermelon because once picked, it can be stored into and eaten for Thanksgiving and later into winter. Pick them in October with the winter squash before frost. Preferred by Mennonites for traditional watermelon pickles. These pickles appear on the list of foods to preserve from the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity, where the heirloom variety 'Winter King \u0026amp; Queen' is mentioned as being the most popular. This melon is said to have gone by the names 'Winter Melon', 'Chritsmas Melon' and 'King and Queen of Winter' over the years.\u003cbr\u003eMore resistant to autumn cold than other varieties of watermelon, the harvest may be later. In addition, the solidity and thickness of the bark of its fruits allows it to be preserved until December. To preserve them properly, wash the fruits at harvest and dry the peel in the sun and then store them in a dry, ventilated place. Always handle fruit gently and do not store damaged fruit \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e15+ seeds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur garden seeds are hand-selected and rigorously tested to ensure you receive only the highest quality seeds.
