Organic Jubilee Watermelon Seeds
Disease Resistant: Tolerant to Fusarium Wilt and Anthracnose. TIP: Most watermelons love and need heat, but disease problems can arise from such hot and humid conditions. Jubilee was specifically bred to handle such problems. If you live in the Southern United States where conditions are hot and humid, this is the watermelon for you!
1979 Twilley Seed Company Catalog says about Jubilee Watermelon: "Released by Florida AES. Resembles Garrisonian, but is wilt resistant with high eating quality. The melons are long with well-rounded ends; bright red flesh with interior quality equal to Charleston Gray; grows 25-40 pounds; black seed.
