Update on mystery watermelon on the cover of Grace from the Garden

**Sharon Gordon g*@one.net**

Heard back from Deb Engle today, and she says the watermelon on the cover is
called 'Garden Baby.'

Here is some info on it from places that have the seeds:
https://www.territorial-seed.com/testcat/vegetables/watermelon/WA987.html
http://www.superseeds.com/VegT-W.htm  info near bottom of page; and they
also have one called pony yellow that looks like it might be similar in size

In searching for this I found some that are smaller and the honey cream at
least seems to be earlier:

"Honey Cream watermelon" is another fast-growing watermelon (65 days from
transplanting) that has a yellow-orange flesh. The melons weigh 3-4 pounds
and each plant can bear up to 10 melons each.

http://oregonstate.edu/dept/hort/233/watermelon.htm (they list Honey Cream
as being the same size as Garden Baby in the 7-14 pound range)
Midget (3-6 pounds)
