MEL Moon and Stars

Picture and text from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds website. “Legendary heirloom variety rediscovered in Macon, Missouri. Can grow to over 40 lbs. The dark green rind has bright yellow spots on it! Spots range in size from tiny to several inches across. Leaves are also specked in yellow. It has very sweet, brilliant red flesh. This is becoming one of the most popular heirloom varieties, a winner! Originally introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1926, it was called “SUN, MOON AND STARS.” The catalog says, “…an extraordinary variation…and that it has such a delicious taste.” It was sold then for 20 cents a pack. Unique variety!”
