Abstract: We bred two oriental melon inbreds with high quality named CB12507 and S57. Then we took them as female and male respectively，to breed a new cultivar of melon hybrids named‘Tangtian 8’. The fruit developing period is 30–34 d. All branches could fruit，while the first branches were the main. The fruit is round，and the peel is olivine. The emerald flesh is crisp，with the center sugar content of 14.5%–15.5% and edge sugar content of 12.0%. The weight of per melon is 0.3–0.4 kg. This cultivar has demonstrated a broad adaptability and good perspective of commercialization in many provinces such as Hebei，Liaoning，Tianjin，Anhui，Hubei，Henan，and Shandong.
