Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
The Bailan melon is a locally famous type of melon grown near Lanzhou, the capital city of Gansu province in the People's Republic of China.[1]
According to Chinese sources, the melons were introduced to China by a Mr. Wallace, Vice president of the United States, who donated melon seeds to the locals while visiting in the 1940s.[citation needed] This man was almost certainly Henry A. Wallace, Vice president under Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who had a background in agriculture and had founded a major seed company, Pioneer Hi-Bred.
In photographs, the melons appear light yellow, orange or white, with a light green or apricot yellow flesh, similar in appearance to the honeydew melon.
