ROCK O'HONEY 
~ 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,’ 
_-~—sof «good size and of splendid quality. Because 
% practically all the fruits mature, it is an ex- 
tremely heavy yielding variety. The fruits are 
slightly elongated or oval in shape and all are 
well covered with a medium coarse netting. The 
MEL-O-DEW

of Honey Rock, and has made a big hit wher- 
ever it has been offered. It is a cross between

ease resistant, especially blight resistant in hot 
weather. The melons are remarkably uniform
