Leave it to guy to google melons.
since there's no direct link (see message #6 for a picture):
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).

ME08-HM) ZATTA (71 days) Probably one of the rarest heirloom melons in the World! By far our greatest discovery, and the focus of our seed saving efforts for rare heirloom varieties. Reintroduced into the United States by Bill McKay of Seeds of Italy and us Harvest Moon Farms & Seed by discovery of its existance by a company in Bergamo, Italy. believed to be Jefferson's reference in 1774 as the "Canteloupe Massa", also believed to be recorded in Vilmorin's "The Vegetable Garden" in 1885 as "Early Cantelope". Considered lost by many even to this day. We only know of 3 other sources throughout the world for it today. Dates back as far as 1754 in Literature. Do not confuse with "Prescott Fond Blanc" as Zatta is not as flattened and in opinion by many much more beautiful, sweeter, and tastier, does not slip when ripe. The ugliest melon we have come across in a long time! However, this has become our favorite! From Italy known as "Brutto ma Buono" or "Ugly but Tasty" you can not imagine such flavor! Our finest melon!! Expect the best from us, Harvest Moon Farms!! 100 seeds - $2.25
