_ Rock O’Honey Muskmelon 
ROCK O’ 
This new melon, seed of which we offered in 
1941 for the first time, is an improved type of 
Honey Rock, and is distinctly superior in sev- 
eral important respects. The most valuable 
characteristic of Rock O’Honey is its freedom 
from blight, causing the vines to remain green 
until frost. This allows most of the melons to 
mature normally, so that they are well netted, 
of good size and of splendid quality. Because 
practically all the fruits mature, it is an ex- 
tremely heavy yielding variety. The fruits are 
well covered with a medium coarse netting. The 
This melon was developed by the originator 
of Honey Rock, and has made a big hit wher- 
ever it has been offered. It is a cross between 
Hale’s Best and Honey Dew, is early and dis- 
ease resistant, especially blight resistant in hot 
weather. The melons are remarkably uniform 
in size, shape and appearance, averaging, under 
normal conditions, 4 to 5 lbs. in weight, 7 
inches long and 6 inches across. It is nearly 
as early as Honey Rock—only about 5 days 
later—and a great yielder with strong, sturdy | 
HONEY ROCK 
Honey Rock (also called Sugar Rock) has proved to 
be a very profitable market variety. Honey Rock is, 
one of the most productive varieties grown. Five to 
seven perfect fruits, and often more, are produced on 
one vine. The rind is tough and the fruits can be 
shipped in perfect condition after ripening on the vines. 
It is not of the Rocky Ford type. It averages a little 
larger and is earlier. The fruits are slightly oval— 
nearly round—and are overlaid with a heavy gray net- 
ting. This heavy netting and tough rind is what makes 
them stand handling and shipping so well. Honey 
Rock has deep orange flesh. Is wonderfully sweet and 
delicious. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35¢; 14 lb., $1.00; 1b., $3.50;

VINE PEACH 
‘Fine for canning, preserves and marmalade. The 
fruit is about the size of a large peach, and can be 
used in every way in which a peach can be used, ex- 
cept that it is not usually liked raw. A jar of these 
fruits cut in halves and cooked in syrup presents a 
beautiful and tempting appearance, The vine on which 
these fruits are produced belongs to the melon family.~
