Originally called Sun, Moon and Stars, released in 1926 by the Peter Henderson Seed Company of New York. This gem was lost to obscurity within a few decades. It was not until later when it was re-released in 1981 by Merle Van Doren of Macon, Missouri. Also called Amish Moon and Stars watermelon this is a dark green with flecks of yellow sprinkled all over the rind. The leaves share the signature speckles. These are the ‘stars’ on the melon. The ‘moon’ is a larger splotch of yellow. The fruit itself is sweet and up to 40 pounds. The flesh may be pinkish-red, yellow or red (depending on the variety) and very sweet.
