Sugar Rock or Honey Rock 
Highest Quality for Shipping and 
Home Markets 
This new melon has become very popular in 
markets where a fine high quality melon of medium 
size is desired. 
The melons are nearly round 5-6 inches in diam¬ 
eter, with light green skin which turns to pale yellow 
when ripe. They are hard as a rock and covered with 
coarse heavy netting. This enables them to stand 
shipping and handling without spoiling. 
The flesh is thick, of fine texture and of an ex¬ 
cellent flavor that is not surpassed in any melon we 
have ever eaten. 
Sugar Rock is remarkable for its large yields of 
fine fruit, and is altogether one of the best melons we 
have seen in many years. 
Oz. 15c; H lb. 45c; lb. $1.50; 10 lbs. $14.00.
