References:

From AIS Bulletin #293 April 1994 Introducing TOASTED WATERMELON (Joe Hoage) Sdlg. H86-27, 34-36", M-L. This rosy brown blend can only be described by its name. As a seedling, complete strangers reported this plant to us before we saw it in its first year of bloom. The red beards fit nicely with this smooth self, a child of Mulled Wine X Lady Friend. Well-branched stalks with 6-8 blooms. $30.00. Long's Gardens.
