Sweet Siberian Watermelon

Another very old watermelon that originates from Russia. The medium sized dark green fruit average 9-10 lbs and are oblong in shape. The flesh is a beautiful yellow color and is extremely sweet and juicy. The 1937 McFayden Seed catalog wrote "Largest of the Early Strains. A very early yellow fleshed variety extensively grown by Russians. It is supposed to have come from Siberia. The melons are oblong, dark green, borne abundantly on vigorous vines. The flesh is a golden yellow, sweet and delicious. Ripens slightly later than Northern Sweet. Grown extensively by Hutterite Colonies, who find ready sale for them in many districts of Manitoba."
