MISHNAH: Green melon and sweet melon are not kilaim one with the other. Rebbi Jehudah says, they are kilaim. Lettuce and garden lettuce, endives and field endives, leeks and field leeks, coriander and field coriander, mustard and Egyptian mustard, Egyptian pumpkin and ash-gourd, Egyptian beans and carob beans are not kilaim one with the other.

HALAKHAH: Rebbi Yudan bar Menasheh said: The opinion of the Sages is that one takes a small piece from the pericarp of a green melon and plants it and it grows to a water melon. One takes a small piece from the pericarp of a water melon and plants it and it grows to a sweet melon. Rebbi Jehudah says, it in itself is kilaim. One takes a small piece from the pericarp of a water melon and a small piece from the pericarp of an apple and puts them into one cavity where they unite and become kilaim. Therefore it is called “apple melon” in the Greek language.

What does Rebbi Jehudah say about green melon and water melon? Let us hear from the following: “Green melon, water melon, and sweet melon are not kilaim [if combined] one with the other; Rebbi Jehudah says, they are kilaim.” It has been said that green melon and water melon are not kilaim one with the other, and water melon and sweet melon are not kilaim one with the other; Rebbi Jehudah says they are kilaim. Green melon and water melon are questionable.
