Ideal for Short-Season Areas

(3 customer reviews)

Great-tasting early Sweet 'n Early Hybrid Cantaloupe! Super sweet and juicy, with firm salmon-orange flesh. Bears over a long time, sets round to oval 4- to 6-inch fruits, 6-8 per plant. Resists powdery mildew. 66 DAYS.

Give melon fertile soils and warm temps (use black plastic mulch to cool regions), and you’ll harvest plenty of large, luscious fruits.

Best Cantaloupe Ever
Reviewed By: Cheryl Pugh (Camp Verde, Arizona)
This is the best tasting, easiest growing cantaloupe I have ever grown. There was no mistake when the fruit was ready to be picked as the aroma from the fruit is so intense. You will never get a melon like this from the market. I will grow it every year!

great cantaloupe
Reviewed By: Sheila (Hiawatha, KS)
This cantaloupe is really great!! We've planted it for 4 years in a row; always super sweet, perfect size. In fact, I keep my seed packet so I can make sure I order the correct one each year!!! I won't order anyting else!!!

Excellent early Cantaloupe
Reviewed By: Bill (Peoria, IL)
This cantaloupe is relatively small but incredibly sweet! Actually it is perfect size for eating the whole thing at once. Almost all of the melons ripened within a few days of each other, so if you want them all summer you would need to stagger your plantings. Overall, one of the best I've ever grown.
