reprise from above, with an updated link:

Tigger The most amazing melon we have grown. The fruit are vibrant yellow with brilliant fire-red, zigzag stripes, (a few fruit may be solid yellow), simply beautiful! They are also the most fragrant melons we have tried, with a rich, sweet intoxicating aroma that will fill a room. The white flesh gets sweeter in dry climates. Small in size the fruits weigh up to 1 lb. - perfect for a single serving. The vigorous plants yield heavily, even in dry conditions. This heirloom came from an Armenian market located in a mountain valley. It was the most popular melon at our Garden Show last August and makes a unique specialty market variety. Pkt. (25 seeds).

another one from Armenia:

"Metki Painted Serpent

"Unique, very long, dark green with pale green striped fruit, very rare from Armenia. Grown in Armenia as a cucumber, it is actually a melon. Excellent sweet flavor."

"An extraordinary tomato with an extraordinary story. Developed by M.C. Byles of Logan, West Virginia over a six year period in the 1940's. He sold the plants for $1 each and paid off the $6,000 mortgage on his house. The fruits are approximately 1 lb. each, pinkish in color with a rich, sweet taste."
