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.

This ancient variety originated in the USA and was listed there in 1880. According to Heydrick in "The Cucurbits of New-York" in 1937, it may be the "Melon Blanc d'Antibes" listed in Vilmorin-Andrieux's "Les Plantes Potagères" of 1883.
