| A very good tasting melon, but prone to cracking when nearly ripe. |

| An early version of Passport from Hollar Seed. Tolerant to powdery mildew. It is nice appearing melon and relatively large, this year it was the last to get ripe. Preceded by Gourmet, Courier, Visa, Melaro, and Grand Slam in that order. Not as prone as Passport to cracking, but I was dissapointed because I was expecting it to ripen early. It took a lot longer than Passport to ripen.
