3205 ~ JENNY LIND
70-85 Days.Named for the Swedish opera singer, this melon was once one of the leading early green-fleshed varieties for home and market.
The 'Jenny Lind' is a smallish melon that averaged about a pound and a half, give or take a few ounces each way. Rather than being rounded like most melons, it was shaped like a slightly flattened globe. It had moderately prominent ribs, sparse netting, and a more or less prominent "button" on the blossom end.
