Main Entry: wa·ter·mel·on
Pronunciation: -"me-l&n
Function: noun
Date: 1615
1 : a large oblong or roundish fruit with a hard green or white rind often
striped or variegated, a sweet watery pink, yellowish, or red pulp, and
usually many seeds
2 : a widely grown African vine (Citrullus lanatus syn. C. vulgaris) of the
gourd family that bears watermelons
Also there is a picture from a French manuscript that clearly shows a cart
filled with watermelons being pulled through the street. Unfortunately, it is
buried in the several hundred disks of info I have gleaned from the web.
Unless others more organized in keeping their information files post it
first, I will try to find something more substantial when I get a chance.
Please be patient.
