I'm not pushing Wilhite Seed, just using them as a pricing example for a highly reliable seed source. Here's the list for Israeli Melon.
Note the really big jumps in savings from 1/16 to 1 ounce and up to 4 ounces. It slows down a bit after that, but there's still a good benefit going up to one pound, assuming you can use that much. These are big seeds, but there are still 1,200 per ounce and 19,200 per pound.
The proportional savings are more modest after that. But still real money if, again, you can use the quantity. And always consider each dealer's shipping costs.
1/16 OZ $2.20
1 OZ $3.85
1/4 LB $4.80
1 LB $14.80
5 LB $62.80
25 LB $282.50
50 LB $508.50
