Bag of 25 seeds
This old Lorraine variety, highly resistant to cold and humidity, produces pale-green, dark-green mottled fruit with marked ribs, round or oval, weighing 1.5 to 2.5 kg. Their juicy, melt-in-the-mouth orange flesh has a delicious flavor.
Carefully preserved for 30 years by Michel Ongaretti, President of the Lunéville Horticultural Society, this variety is the result of crosses between "Noir des Carmes" and "Prescott".

Sow in pots at a temperature of between 20 and 25°C, 6 weeks before planting. Transplant with the root ball, after the last frosts, in planting holes enriched with compost, spaced 1 m apart in all directions. Sowing in the open ground under the same conditions is possible when the soil is well warmed and outside temperatures no longer fall below 15°C.
Melons need plenty of light and warmth to ripen before the frosts.
