One of the Finest Melons Ever Introduced. Especially Suited to 
Southern States for Commercial Planters Shipping North 
Recently introduced, this cantaloupe comes to us from Texas, but 
thrives generally where other melons will ripen. Perfectly round, 
covered with netting, cross between Honeydew and Cannonball. It 
certainly has the good qualities of both and with its keeping and 
shipping qualities it will play a large part in the cantaloupe indus¬ 
try. The flesh is greenish, seed cavity extremely small, and edible 
to the very rind. While very sweet, yet there is some of the spiciness 
of the green fleshed cantaloupes which is lacking in one of its 
parents, the Honeydew. Edible in 100 days. Size 6% x6% inches. 
Weight, 3% pounds. Packet, 7 cts.; oz., 17 cts.; % lb., 43 cts.; 
V> lb., 69 cts.; lb., $1.35; 3 lbs., $3.40, postpaid. 
443 a Honey Rock or Sugar Rock 
Most popular market melon of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and 
Illinois. Superior flavor, great shipper, home favorite. Our seed 
is all pure bred saved from extra select hand cut melons. 90 days 
from planting seed to maturity. 
Honey Rock has four characteristics, which are outstanding. 
These are: first, quality—second, productiveness—third, ability to 
stand shipping and handling—fourth, striking appearance. This 
Melon has deep orange flesh with a flavor different from other 
sorts, which can only be appreciated by tasting. It has won its 
way so far, mostly on account of its wonderful sweetness. 
Honey Rock is one of the most prolific varieties grown. Five to 
seven perfect fruits are produced on one vine and often more. 
The rind is so tough and the flesh so firm that they can be allowed 
to ripen on the vine and then shipped long distances and arrive in 
perfect condition. The appearance of Honey Rock Melons is strik¬ 
ingly attractive, and distinct from all other sorts. The fruits are 
oval and medium in size, and are not ribbed. Packet, 10 cts.; cz., 
17 cts.; i/ 4 lb., 40 cts.; y 2 lb., 70 cts.; lb., $1.25; 2 lbs., $2.25, post¬
