Cantaloupe, Sweet 'N Early Hybrid

Our best tasting early cantaloupe. Ideal for short-season areas.

Customer Favorite!

Melons do best when grown in clusters (hills). Sow groups of 3 or 4 seeds in groups 2 ft apart when soil is thoroughly warm. One pkt. of seeds will plant 7 groups; one oz. grows 120 groups. Our best tasting early cantaloupe. Ideal for short-season areas. It bears longer than any other melon in our trials. Firm, bright salmon flesh, sweet and juicy. Round to oval, 4½" by 5", slightly ribbed with corky netting. Small seed cavity. Resists powdery mildew. Vigorous, productive plants bear 6-8 melons each. Burpee bred.
