Crimson Sweet Watermelon seed Citrullus lanatus
LATIN NAME: Citrullus lanatus
COMMON NAME: Watermelon
The watermelon spreads its long, trailing stems and the deeply lobed leaves, and the large, yellow flowers open among them, with the big, round, striped fruits resting on the ground. The vigorous, trailing, annual vine carries the deeply lobed, rough, grey-green leaves and the large, yellow, five-petalled flowers through the warm season, one of the fine, generous sights of the warm garden, drawing the bees, to be followed by the large, round or oval, smooth, green, striped fruits with the red, juicy, sweet flesh and the flat, black or mottled seeds. The fruits have a very long record as the fine, juicy, refreshing fruits of the warm tables, and the vine is a fine, historic presence of the warm garden. It is a vine of the open, sunny, deep, rich, moist, well-drained ground.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The watermelon is a historic subject of the plant science, and the striped fruits keep showing up in the work on the warm-season melons. The way the large, round or oval, smooth, green, striped fruits form from the large, yellow, five-petalled flowers has been studied closely, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the warm-season melons, the juicy fruits and the members of the gourd family. The deeply lobed leaves and the trailing habit have also made it a fine study vine, and the watermelon is a regular subject of the work on the striped fruits of the warm world.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
The watermelon is a fine, generous vine of the warm garden and the fruit patch. The large, round or oval, smooth, green, striped fruits have a very long record as the fine, juicy, refreshing fruits of the warm tables, the red, juicy, sweet flesh coming to the cool slices, the salads, the drinks and the summer bowls of the old kitchens, while the large, yellow, five-petalled flowers open through the warm season, drawing the bees. It is one of the fine choices for the warm garden, the melon patch and the study collection, and it has been written up in the culinary and the agricultural papers for the striped fruits and the very long history. It is a fine, generous vine of the open, sunny, deep, rich, moist, well-drained garden.
Give the young vines the open ground and the deep, rich bed, and the striped fruits will come in the first warm season.
To grow the watermelon from seed, sow the large, flat, mottled seeds a centimetre and a half down in the deep pot of rich, gritty soil, keep the pot in a warm, bright spot and water gently, then set the young vines out after the last frosts. The seedlings are up within a week or two and grow on fast. With the sun, the open ground and the deep, rich, moist, well-drained bed, the striped fruits will come in the first warm season.
