Days to maturity: 77 to 80 days.
This delightful new Watermelon is so yummy that you may never get to taste it chilled -- we've been eating it straight from the vine all summer, and once you try that scrumptious crisp-sweet red flesh and succulent bite, you may not be able to make it to the fridge, either!
Just 6 to 7 pounds, these merrily striped oblong fruits are the perfect size for the icebox, and make one generous or two average-sized servings. No more sawing away slabs from a 25-pound fruit while the fridge fills up with sticky juice. They mature earlier than many other varieties, and are borne very abundantly on vigorous "semi-upright" (a bit taller than most) vines 3 feet high and up to 9 feet wide. If you love Watermelon, Sweet Beauty is the one you want for a summer of great eating.
Winner of a 2004 All-America Selections Award, Sweet Beauty was judged superior in flavor and texture, as well as ease of growth and early maturity. This is a super easy-to-grow variety that new gardeners will be successful with and old gardeners will fall upon with joy. The flavor is incomparable -- you'll simply never be able to eat another supermarket Watermelon once you taste Sweet Beauty.
Maturing in late summer, Sweet Beauty is a delight in the vegetable garden. Give it room to ramble and set masses of yummy fruit.
Pkt is 10 seeds.
This large, sprawling vine with large, hairy leaves produces large, round, oval, or oblong, edible fruit. It is a smooth-skinned fruit that can be colored light-green, dark-green, or green and white striped. The inner flesh can be red, yellow, or white. It can be difficult to tell when the fruit is ripe: rap on the sides and listen for a dull thump rather than a sharp sound and look for a golden yellow color where the bottom of the fruit rests on the ground
Superior Germination Through Superior Science
First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Hand Packed By Experienced Technicians
Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
