| produced medium and large melons. The plant did well with disease resistance. my melon's weren't as sweet as what I had hoped. Might be how much or little water they recieved. no musky flavor. I was happy with everything but the sweetness. |

| This cultivar does well here averaging about 6 lbs. Flavor is very good. It is very sweet, but does not have the strong musky flavor That I like ina a cantaloupe. It is a reliable performer. |

| Sugar Queen is a great melon. When ready, they turn a beautiful golden yellow. Not only are they sweet, but they have a great taste and a wonderful fragrance which is unique to the variety.
Good yields and plants survived the cucumber beetle invasion this summer. Vines still producing melons in the first part of October. |
