Honey Rock or 
Sugar Rock 
Known also as Honey Rock and Honey 
Sweet. This is a new and unusually

a rock. It has four main points of supe¬

stand shipping, and appearance. The 
flesh is a very deep salmon color right 
out to the very rind. Under good grow¬ 
ing conditions it is a very heavy yielder. 
often producing five to seven perfect mel¬ 
ons on one vine. Its rind is unusually 
hard, making it a good shipper. Pkt. 5c; 
oz. 12c; Vi lb. 40c.
