[Localseed-discuss] Looking for Seeds

Dear Fellow Seed Savers

 

I put in a request a couple of months ago for the Seeds of the Phut or Snap Melon but did not hear back from anyone.

 

I was just wondering (even if nobody has seeds available) is anyone familiar with this melon or seen it before in the past?  They come in various shapes and sizes but most have flesh as white as snow (or very pale orange) and just as fluffy. They have the peculiar habit of splitting or cracking as maturity approaches and “fluffy snow” escapes out of the crack.

 

Any information would be appreciated.

 

Many Thanks
