Israeli (Old Original) - Seeds & Bulbs

Muskmelon (Cantaloupe)
Israel (Ogen)

This open pollinated muskmelon has a loyal following for three good reasons: the softball-sized melons mature early and are numerous - at least 10 per plant, the sweet, pale green flesh is very delicious, and the intoxicating aroma is beyond belief.

One packet plants a 40' row. That's twenty 10' vines.
