Jake,I received seed from you today. Thank you so very much for being thoughtful enough to send them. I haven't decided yet exactly what my lineup will be. I liked your 185 because it had a good shape to it. But I don't think that should be a determining factor since the same vine can produce both well shaped and misshaped fruit. So I am now thinking more of the brown seeded Holloway #1 you sent (259 Kent X 255 Mitchell).Whatever way I go I know I will have competitive seed and am looking forward to an interesting year.

I think the # 1 was 191 Holloway X 259 Kent, There was also a 259 Kent X 255 Mitchell and a 194 Holloway X 259 Kent (white seed) All of those were genetic crosses on smaller melons, so they should germinate easier. And you are very welcome. We all hope your doing better and that you have a great season.
