| This cultivar performed reasonably well here, Not the top performer but in the middle of the pack. Tastewise it came in just behind Supermarket, Burpee Hybrid, Sugar Queen and Star headliner. In other words a good orange/salmon fleshed cantaloupe. It is the smallest of this group, coming in at about 3 lbs. |
