A variation of Black Diamond, not quite as large and more rounded. Very good when conditions are favorable, but like Black Diamond is prone to white heart and hard flesh when stressed.

C.S. White Flesh is virtually identical to Willhite's Yellow Flesh Black Diamond. Blocky dark green melon averaging 20-25 lbs under my conditions. Pale yellow flesh, not the best of the yellow fleshed varieties but good.

An older hybrid, this is an icebox melon with the appearance of a small Black Diamond type. It runs 15-20 lbs, good flavor and production. Biggest drawback is shared by all dark green varieties, It has to be protected from sunburn under the Georgia sun.

As the name implies this is just a larger version of Crimson Sweet. In my field there was no significant difference, averaging 25 versus 22 lbs. Same appearance and flavor.

AU Golden Producer is an enhanced version of Yellow Crimson. Virtually identical in appearance and performance under my conditions. May have a bit more disease resistance for those who need it. Good performer and good flavor. Not as good as Tendersweet or Orangeglo but quite good. Blocky melon averaging about 22 lbs.

Missouri Yellow Flesh resembles the Desert King in size and color but is far inferior in taste. It is a family size melon averaging 25- 35 lbs. Production is good.
