Twilley's SSX-7405, a really good seedless watermelon.

Just cut a SSX-7405 watermelon from Twilley Seeds. At 24 lbs very big for a seedless. The interior is very dark red, 13.5-14 brix, and excellent texture. This is the best seedless I've grown in many years. I won't want it any sweeter.
Where it has an advantage over Star Brite, my favorite seeded, is a higher percentage yield of top quality flesh. This 24 lb SSX-7405 has more really sweet flesh than a 34 lb Star Brite. And for a seedless it's a real bargain on seed price, only $3.00 for 10 seeds.
