* '''Colossal''' - Very large fruit, mostly cream-colored with light markings of purple. Very juicy, very sweet, no soapiness, good melon-like flavor (especially when ripened on the vine). Self-fertile, but yields larger fruit with cross-pollination.

* '''Ecuadorian Gold''' - A market cultivar in South America that produces good crops of pear-like fruits over a long growing season. The fruit has an attractive color, is well-marked and holds well on the plant. Self-fertile, but should be thinned for better fruit size.
