That is a great seed,I would have done better with if I would have shaded the fruit better,& not picked it early.This seed grows a long time as does the 255 Mitchell.

The 239 is the mother of fattie.thats the one you want.

You never know Mark. The 239 is a well proven seed. Then again there is a chance the 274.4 could be an even better seed. PW, I have seeds from a 197 Leonard x 211 Leonard cross I made this year.That is a sibling recreation of the 239 Leonard. You are very welcome to seeds if you think you might want to give this one a try.

Girthest is probally more PC, but we named the melon while it was growing "fatass" cause it was so big ! LOL
