Watermelon
Origin: United States
Item #: WATERMELON018
Jubilee
is one of the most popular watermelon varieties grown in the United States
and was introduced in 1963 by the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station.
TheJubilee Watermelon variety was originally created by crossing
together the varieties Africa 8, Iowa Belle, Garrison (Georgia Rattlesnake),
Hawkesbury and Leesburg. Jubilee Watermelons are extremely similar to Garrison
or Georgia Rattlesnake Watermelons which is a watermelon variety developed
in Georgia during the 1880's.
Just
like Georgia Rattlesnake or Garrison, Jubilee produces a large light green
watermelon with very distinct dark green stripes somewhat reminescent of
a rattlesnake's markings. The watermelons are large, averaging about 40
pounds in weight and have a very tough rind that is nearly an inch thick.
Due to its tough, thick rind, Jubilee is an excellent commercial watermelon
and holds up amazingly well during shipping The flesh is a lovely bright
red in color dotted with large black "stipple" marked seeds and has a very
fine texture and a very palatable sweet flavor that is superior to most
other varieties of watermelons.

Watermelons are widely adaptable, which explains its popularity, and grows
