{"product_id":"melon-jenny-lind","title":"Melon Seeds, Jenny Lind","description":"\u003cp\u003e(\u003cem\u003eCucumis melo\u003c\/em\u003e). Lusciously sweet, wildly productive, and easy to grow, this green-fleshed melon is named for Jenny Lind, the famous 19th century Swedish soprano whose American tour made her a superstar. The melon first appeared in Philadelphia markets around 1840. It was a new selection of an older variety called the Centre melon, said to have originated in Armenia. It is not entirely clear how the turban-shaped melon with the distinctive knob on its bottom end came to be named for the “Swedish Nightingale,” but references to it as such began appearing just a few years after Jenny Lind wrapped up her two-year tour of America in 1852. In its day, the Jenny Lind did not spread much beyond the mid-Atlantic region, though today it is a culinary classic!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511056302366,"sku":"AML117","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/melon_jenny_lind.jpg?v=1782395114","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.sbs\/products\/melon-jenny-lind","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
