Afterglow is a distinctive Eastern-type melon that blends the durability and appearance of Eastern shippers with the exceptional eating quality of Tuscan genetics. It produces uniform, refined fruit averaging 5–7 pounds, with very firm, thick orange flesh and excellent flavor balanced by high sugar levels of 12–14% Brix. The rind closely resembles a classic Eastern melon, though the pronounced sutures retain a touch of green at maturity. Fruits slip cleanly from the vine when ripe and offer improved field holding ability compared to traditional sutured types. Afterglow delivers a reliable, uniform harvest of attractive melons with outstanding sweetness and rich, classic melon flavor.

Krug Dent corn is an old commercial variety. First bred by Illinois farmer George Krug in 1921. George W. Krug started experimenting with corn in 1906 to develop a corn that would be more productive for his 100 acre estate. George started his seed line by mixing two strains called Improved World's Fair and Iowa Gold Mine with a couple of bushels of good-looking seed which he purchased at a farm sale. The qualities he selected for included weight, luster, smoothness, freedom of excessive starch and high oil content. He entered his corn in the county farm bureau yield test in 1919, and topped the field in 1920 and 1921 among 118 growers who entered these tests. Hereafter Krug Dent became famous and was sought after everywhere. George Krug however was a very modest man and did not collect a royalty from any of those using his name in producing "Krug Corn." all he wanted was a better corn for his farm.

Ga1s are naturally occurring traits in corn that will greatly reduce outcrossing with plants that don’t carry the same trait. This trait is called gametophytic incompatibility.
