Beautiful, oval-shaped melons weighing 1 to 2 pounds with lovely silver stripes. The white flesh is crisp and sweet. This is a Korean variety that was introduced by Burpee’s and is one of the best. Very productive and quite early, Early Silver Line Melon is a good choice for the north and fun for kids to grow. (75 days)
Planting Instructions:
Melons need fertile soil and abundant heat to reach perfection. Sow in place about two weeks after last frost. Plant seed about one inch deep, 12 inches apart, in rows 5 feet apart. May also plant in hills, 4 to 5 seeds per hill, with hills about 5 feet apart.
In short-season climates, grow transplants indoors, starting 1 week before last frost date and set out about 2 to 3 weeks after sowing; never let transplants become root-bound in their container.
