Schochler

A very recent introduction and extremely popular in the South. It is a long thick melon color rich dark green with a faint practically invisible stripe. While the rind is thin for the size of the melon it is extremely tough and will stand ordinary handling and shipping. It is not a prolific melon producing only about 4 melons to the vine but the huge size of the melons more than make up for the fewer produced. Its meat is a dark red fine grained with no white parts and a flavor that is delicious.
