Watermelon Seeds - Kleckleys Sweet

This melon was bred in 1887 by W.A. Kleckley who resided in Alabama. Some say it was Burpee who introduced this watermelon in 1887. Others say the Robert Buist Seed Co. released Kleckey's Sweet. At this point it doesn't matter because Kleckey's Sweet has become an American favorite and sort of a legend in the watermelon world. Why? The lip-smacking sweet flavor of course. Not a good shipper because of the thin skin, but perfect for the home garden. This is what makes heirlooms so unique. You are not going to get this flavor from your local big-box super chain!
