Queen Anne's pocket melon (Cucumis melo dudaim) was an heirloom vine used by the Victorian's for its fresh scent. Slightly smaller than a tennis ball, it was carried in the pocket for deodorant purposes. This sweet scented melon makes a very nice ornamental vine. The edible fruit is bright orange with jagged yellow stripes. Pkt. 20
