Melon Seeds

Early! Fragrant, medium-firm flesh with very good flavor. This is an early melon to feel good about! Large size for an early maturing cantaloupe. Best if harvested at half-slip.

OUT OF STOCK

Extended shelf melon with adaptability to the southeast and hot and cool conditions. Growers will appreciate the harvest indicators: rind turns tan and fruit will slip when mature. Flavor is good; sugars generally range 13-15%. Shelf life improved over standard western shippers.

Yields a few days earlier than Athena and has performed well in Purdue University trials. Firm flesh, and sweet, slightly musky flavor.

Eastern shipper showing good uniformity of size and consistency in quality from crown set to end of vine. Fruit has a clean appearance with a refined, complete net. Flavorful, with a balance of sweet and musky flavors.

“Just amazing” is the most comment about Sugar Cube’s flavor. The right size, at 2-4 lbs., to share for dessert or to pack in a CSA shipment. Sugar Cube is an intensely sweet and flavorful melon, sometimes when nothing else is. It has a medium net with no sutures. Great yield is insured by a healthy vine.
