Probably the most beautiful melon, it was feared lost, but was rediscovered in Missouri. Large oval fruits are splashed with bright yellow, reminiscent of moon and stars. Flesh is red and very sweet, leaves are also splashed with yellow. Direct seed in garden in rows 4-6 feet apart when danger of frost has passed. Likes to be planted in clusters with 3-4 plants per group. Deeply fertile soil produces optimum yield of fruits. Enrich soil with compost. Harvesting tip: stem turns brown and separates easily from the melon when ripe.
