Cantaloupe and "Netmeloen" (the Dutch name) "cucumis melo reticulatis" are
two different melons for sure!!
Canteloupe are available on almost every seedshop in my country Holland.
Anyway thank you very much for answering my question.


Could 'reticulatis' and 'reticulatus' be completely different
varieties? When I Googled on your spelling, I got the 'did you mean
...us' answer, which usually means the original spelling is wrong. The
several references I found for Cucumis melo Reticulatus clearly said
'muskmelon or canteloupe.'
