DESCRIPTION: The earliest-ripening, Eastern-type cantaloupe. Developed for far northern, coastal, and mountain climates. Gardeners in these difficult, cool-weather areas often grow their first ripe melons ever using this variety. The oblong, orange-fleshed fruits have light netting, and average about 3 lb. Sweet Granite melons are sweet with average flavor. Harvest at full-slip (when a gentle tug removes the fruit from the vine). Released in 1966 by the late Prof. Meader, Univ. of New Hampshire. 70 days to maturity.
