316 Edwards & 296.50 Barber: When you look at the genetics on these two and there were both 5 lobe melons,these two are a must for me. I wish I had more time so I could grow more because there are a lot of great seeds out there. I only plant what I can give 100% to and at 72 that's 3 plants.

Had two 296 Barbers.
One never germinated and one gave me the prettiest plant out of 10 I started last year.
Wasnt in the ground 2 weeks before the neighbors dog got loose one day and dug it up.
I was so mad the neighbor still avoids me 7 months later !
