Description: This melon came to us from Mr. Hugh Price, a wonderful elderly grower near Opotiki, We find this one to be a healthy vigorous, heavy cropper of huge long banana shaped melons. They are sweet and have orange delicate flesh, which is eaten in long thin strips!!

Planting Instructions: Sow seeds into trays and prick out at 10cm diagonal spacing or plant into 10cm pots. Transplant into rich free draining soil (under cloches if necessary). Transplant when plants have 2-4 true leaves at 50cm diagonal spacing.
