Details: (Cucumis melo) First introduced in 1937 by the Robert Buist Company of Philadelphia, Pride of Wisconsin is an heirloom variety that produces heavy yields of 4-8lb, deeply ribbed muskmelons. Large melons are often compared to those at roadside stands, with an old-fashioned flavor that sets standard for all other heirloom muskmelons. A must-try for anyone looking to grow great-tasting melons at home. 90-100 days to harvest. 25 seeds per packet. CULTURE: Direct sow seeds outdoors 2 weeks after last frost, once soil temps have reached 70 degrees. Sow 3-5 seeds per hill with 2 to 4 feet between hills and to 3 to 4 feet between rows. Under ideal conditions germination will occur in 5-8 days. Melons are ready to harvest once the melon "slips" from the vine when gently tugged. Don't leave them too long, however, as ripe melons have a sweet aroma that attracts insects.
