(10 customer reviews)

Perfect “personal” size- producing lots of 1 ½ to 2-pound fruit, perfect for one or two to enjoy. The dark orange flesh is exceptionally sweet with that rich, true musk melon flavor and a texture that is meaty yet tender. Makes a great summer dessert; simply halve, scoop out the seeds and fill with vanilla ice cream. Delicious! Approx. 25 seeds per packet. 76 Days.

Personal Size and Sweet !
Reviewed By: Bill (Madisonville, TN)
This year's harvest started today. I love these Cantaloupes! They're just the right size for one person and the taste is very sweet. I was surprised how well they grew in the Tennessee clay (I made the mounds with Miracle Grow soil, though). 10 plants have almost overtaken half of my 20x20 garden. I will plant these again!

Excellant Taste!
Reviewed By: Thomas Bodine (Arab, Alabama)
Gurney's Li'l Sweet Cantaloupe was my choice for my small garden in 2007. The mouth-watering sweet taste of this excellent melon was the rave at a luncheon of all that were able to get a taste of it. Everyone wanted seeds for their next garden. Plans are underway for next year's planting by me.

This was one of the best tasting cantaloupes, I've ever eaten. And it's the perfect size for 2-4 people
