Honey Dew “witte suiker” – Cucumis melo

The Cucumis melo seed article is offered under the designation “Honey Dew “witte suiker””. Cucumis melo is an annual cucurbit with tendrils and many cultivated fruit groups. Melons differ in rind texture, shape, aroma and flesh colour, so “melon seed” is a broad assortment label. Warm conditions, sun and well-drained soil suit the species. Cantaloupe, netted and honeydew types should not be treated as identical fruit forms. The catalogue average is 25-40 seeds per gram, a useful reference when comparing bulk quantities.
