What is the difference between muskmelon and cantaloupe?
 

Can someone please point me in the direction of a thread or a resource that simply describes the difference between the two. Thanks, Ed

I M not sure. We know what cantaloupe is.
I think MUSK melon is an aromatic variety ....musk !!!

If the skin is netted it's a muskmelon. True cantaloupes are a bit harder to grow in my opinion, but taste better depending on the variety. Crenshaw is a cantaloupe while Hale's best is a muskmelon.
