| All 3 varieties were equally rewarding. They sprouted well, grew quickly, and produced surprising amounts of fruit on compact vines. The melons were very sweet & juicy with a fine grade texture, and the thin rinds did not split. The only drawback was that the color coding was not as easy to determine on some of the seeds as it was on others.
