I think many of the rare varieties of watermelon and tomatoes I used to hunt for and buy for five bucks a pack at online retailers were probably sourced from SHPC originally. Cutting out the middle man and ordering direct let's me get even more varieties and save money too. If you order seed early it's less likely to be sold out and you'll still get it in plenty of time for planting.. If it is sold out and you can find it at an online retailer it's not hard to guess who bought it.

For many years Glenn was the Curator for SSE of melons and squash and cucurbits, etc.,and that's why he lists so many of those types.
But I'm glad I read this thread now and here's why.
Glenn's wife Linda had a really horrible medical experience recently,this is not the place for me to go into detail.And Linda is the one who is in charge of the computer.
It's been several months now that she has been transferred from one hospital to another, right now I don't know if she's even home now, so I must either call their private # or better, send an e-mail to Glenn,his personal e-mail.
Obviously he's back teaching now at the local HS, so I MUST contact him to get updated.
We've known each other for several decades.
