Amazing
Reviewed By: M. Landrigan (South Bend, Indiana)
This is the best cantaloupe variety I have ever tried. I've been growing it for five years now. The fruits are huge and the taste is outstanding!

Elveta's 23.5 lb Cantelope
Reviewed By: Elveta Guinn (Adair, OK)
I grew a 23.5 lb & a 22.5 lb Cantaloupe with your Gurney Giant Hybrid Cantaloupe seed. They weren't just big, they were just as sweet and good as any of the smaller cantaloupe . I have pictures of them and my friends can't believe they are Cantaloupe . They say they look like the size of a pumpkin.

Gurney's Giant
Reviewed By: Michelle (Oregon City, OR)
Gurney's giant is really as good as they say. It is consistently good. My dad has grown mellons around 25 years near Portland, OR. The only other contender for top cantaloupe is Athena. Gurney's Giant is larger. See my post about Athena.
