This is a 164 White melon. It is a wide one. It reminds me of a 'Cobb Gem' type. ( That is the variety they used to grow as the #1 giant type in the 50's and 60's) Lloyd Bright has some wonderful pictures in his book of the old varieties. It is interesting to see how the giant types have changed since the early part of the 20th century. I would just love to have some of the old 'Triumph' seed. Unfortunately that strain is lost forever.
