The document discusses the Montreal Melon, a large sweet and spicy melon that was popular in Montreal in the early 1900s but declined in the 1930s. An eco-initiative in Montreal rediscovered old melon seeds in the 1990s and worked with local farmers to resurrect the melon. While the melon is again being grown organically on farms near Montreal, it remains at risk and may take 12-15 more years before it can be commercially produced and shared more widely.
