Default Ambrosia Melon

Does anyone know of a good source for Ambrosia Melon seed?
Territorial Seed isn't selling it this year. So, I have to find
it elsewhere.
I know Burpee, Harris Seeds, and Remier(sp?) have it, but
I'd rather get it from someone I plan to order other seeds from.

Thanks for your help!

P.S. Why do I want this variety again you might ask?
4 plants....
52 melons
200 pounds of superb summer sweetness

You ask for a lot.

Seedway carries them
as does Park Seed
and Burpee
and tradewindfruit

Since seedway has them, they should be widely available from small resellers.

I just recently ordered a small pkg from park seeds. If you dont need more than 10 seeds, just PM me an address and I will send you 10.

PS I already understand why you want them!!

I like Ambrosia so much I actually broke down and bought a Burpee seed pack at one of the local big box places. I've gotten it at Pinetree in the past, but I don't order from them much anymore and hate to order just one item.

I'd love to hear if anyone has found something they regard as good as Ambrosia that is readily available. Emerald Gem is pretty good (op from SSE).
