Delicious Muskmelon 
The Earliest Large Melon 
This fine melon is becoming more and 
more popular for local sales and roadside 
stands. It is the earliest large melon for high 
quality we have ever raised, and we recom¬ 
mend it highly for roadside trade and local 
markets. It will not stand long distance 
shipping. 
We have grown this melon on our own 
farms for a number of years, carefully select¬ 
ing our stock for earliness, large size and high 
quality. See prices below. 
Sugar Rock or Honey Rock 
We have a very fine stock of this popular 
melon. 
The melons are nearly round 5-6 inches 
in diameter, with light green skin which turns 
to pale yellow when ripe. They are hard as a 
rock and covered with coarse heavy netting. 
The flesh is thick, deep orange, of fine 
texture and of an excellent flavor. See prices 
below.
