I am interested to hear opinions on this. It is often difficult for me to tell which seeds standout in the melon world. The following three would be my choices. What are yours?
1. 239 Leonard. (The clear stand out seed since I have been growing giants.)
2. 291 Kent (There have been lots of big ones grown off this seed including the current world record.)
3. 316 Edwards (There were lots of seeds that could have been in this spot names like Mudd, Barber, Clementz and others, come to my mind. The 316 produces big fat melons.)

I'll agree with you on one... for the most part... im not knocking anyone's seed either... but in no specific order 239 Leonard 157 Bright
Reason I say these 2 for sure... they had a part in making practically every great melon so far... from the 255 mitchell, 291 kent, 199.5 mudd, 285 edwards, 260 clementz, 229 edwards, 316 edwards, 350 kent,and the list goes on and on.
