Developed by Russian immigrants this watermelon strain grew quicker (shorter season), and could handle the cooler climate. The taste is close to a cantalope, and features a distinct white flesh with black seeds and a thin dark green striped shell. I am still trying to figure out if this is the origin of Roughrider fans wearing watermelons on their heads…any one know?
