It is identical to Rocky Ford 
except the flesh is salmon 
tinted instead of green. The 
fruits are very uniform, heav¬ 
ily netted with no trace of 
ribs, and the vines are rust re¬ 
sistant. At one time it was 
used almost exclusively for 
long distance shipping, but 
now has been largely super¬ 
seded by the Hales Best strains 
and other newer introductions 
for this purpose.

A new introduction which ap¬ 
pears to have considerable 
merit. It is a most attractive 
fruit both on the outside and 
when cut. The rind is very 
hard, of a pearly gray color, 
with but a faint rib, heavily 
covered with a distinctive net¬ 
ting. It ripens to a yellowish 
shade. The flesh is unusually 
thick with good flavor and the 
triangular seed cavity is al¬ 
most compact. This new va¬ 
riety seems to include many of 
the desirable characteristics of 
the Honey Rock with the 
added feature of thick flesh 
which does not soften prema¬ 
turely as it approaches matur¬ 
ity. Hence, in our opinion, it 
will carry well in shipping.
