Very tempting !... But $7.98 for 10 seeds (I see no option for combined shipping) Also it is obvious that he/she resells commercial seeds, so they are not so rare (most if not all are commercial scale varieites). Translated some descriptions and not all of them confirm the statement "The world's most delicious..." But no doubt they are very showy... still tempted...

I have a friend from Turkey, and his father brings seeds over to US every couple of years and he brings big packets of seeds, which he states are pretty cheap in Turkey. This guy appears to try to be making a killing.

All these names are not names of varieties but names of types of melons, most are subtypes of one. '' Melons originated in Central Asia, and are most cultivated in tropical and temperate regions. The world-famous Canteloupe variety originated in the regions of Van and Diyarbakır. The “topatan” and “çitli” varieties raised in Thrace and the Istanbul region have a thin, yellow rind and do not hold up well to handling. In the Aegean region, and Manisa in particular, the Kırkağaç variety is favored. With a hard rind and a delicious flavor, these melons are also suitable for export. some of the sub-varieties of the Kırkağaç melon include Hasan bey, altınbaş, dilimli and hallaç. Melons are also sometimes harvested while still small and green, when they have a cucumber-like flavor. Used mostly in pickles, they are known as kelek at this stage. .. I have many of these types in the trials. At $14.95 for shipping fees, I'll include a poem and promise to be very very kind OH! And you'll get one more seed

I am in Rockland, close to Ottawa and Montreal, sorry I did not see the thread before, some of us are busy I don't think I will eat a melon this year, my best chance was with the Lunéville but the field got flooded after the June draught
