MAS Melons & Grapes LLC, Rio Rico, Ariz., was in the middle of its Colima, Mexico, deal offering mini watermelons, seedless watermelons and honeydews in late February, said salesman Mikee Suarez.

That program will wind down at the end of March.

The firm has added the ivory grape variety to its extensive line of table grapes this season and plans to add more new varieties next year, Suarez said.
