History Notes

Pineapple Melons may have been derived from the Citron melon, which came to France from Africa in 1777.

Some think Thomas Jefferson might have been growing this melon at Monticello in 1794.

Pineapple Melons were listed in American seed catalogues in 1824.

Mentioned in the book “The Vegetable Garden” (1885) by French writer M. M. Vilmorin-Andrieux.
