Athena is an early-maturing, 5 to 6-pound muskmelon in a class of its own.

Very firm flesh, excellent eating quality, and disease resistance are making this melon the new standard in Southeast, Midwest and Mid-Atlantic gardens.

Athena’s vigorous plant has tolerated stress and its fruit resist cracking.

Athena has shown resistance to powdery mildew races 1 and 2, Fusarium wilt races 0, 1, and 2, and tolerance to Sulfur.
