1960
This old variety has been revived by Baker Creek Seeds, who consider it one of the best watermelon species in their collection. It was selected around 1960 by the Willhite seed company of Poolville, Texas, which has been dedicated to watermelon seed production since the beginning of the last century.

Watermelon contains almost 92% water and little fiber, making it easier to digest for people with sensitive intestines. Rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that gives it its red color, it has cholesterol-lowering, anti-inflammatory and cell-protecting properties. Its content of amino acids and vitamin C contributes to a healthy immune system. The seeds are also rich in vitamin C, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids.
