from a blog where the photo was found.... "Most "Posey County Melons" are grown in Gibson County, Indiana, the county immediately adjacent and north of Posey County, Indiana. Several million dollars worth of cantaloupe and watermelons are grown in deep, sandy, riverbottom soil in the vacinity of Owensville, Indiana. Knox County, Indiana also produces more melons than Posey County. The way the cantaloupe (really a muskmelon) got the name "Posey County Melon" is that most of the melons that were shipped out of this growing region originally were shipped from rail heads in Posey County and carried that name on the shipping cartons. Variety information from a produce guy whose family has been selling these for 50 years or more: Aferdies Santa Quois Dolly Superstar * the ones he likes he does not like Super Star There's supposed to be a giant hybrid variety that gets up 18 lbs."
