Kleckley’s Sweet

WM05

85 days. Listed in our 1933 catalog as the, “Earliest of the long green melons. Very thin rind with sweet, bright red flesh. Not a good shipper but recommended for the home garden and nearby markets.” This oblong melon has been a tried and true favorite since Burpee introduced it in 1897. Burpee states, “...famous, ‘Sweetest of All’ watermelons... Flesh most crisp, sugary, and melting in the highest degree; entirely free from stringiness.” Burpee received the original stock from a Mr. Kleckley who grew this on his ranch in Texas. Even today this is one of the best-eating of all watermelons.
