_ Rock O:Honey Muskmelon 
-_ 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 seyv- 
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 
_ Slightly elongated or oval in shape and all 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 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 
vines. IS, :

» flesh is much eeper than found in Honey Rock 
and the fruits are heavy and very solid, making 
it an ideal shipping sort. Its season of ripening 
is the same. Rock O’Honey was developed by 
the originator of Honey Rock, who considers it 
so much better that he now grows it exclusively. 
Other large growers and shippers who have tried 
Rock O’Honey are also thoroughly “sold” on it. 
Everyone who has tried it is very enthusiastic 
over this fine new variety and we believe it is 
destined to be the leading variety of this class.

In appearance, Mel-O-Dew is strikingly beau- 
tiful and so distinctive it stands out from all 
other varieties. It is smooth but overlaid with 
a faint, firm, silvery netting. The flesh is golden 
orange, extremely deep and good clear to the 
tind. The flavor is mild, similar to Honey, Dew, 
sweet and delicious—never strong or musky. 
The melons are so solid they keep in perfect 
condition for a long time and are unsurpassed 
for shipping. Pkt., 15¢; 14 oz., 45¢; oz., 75¢;

Delicious—Attractive—Productive 
__ 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., 10e; 0z., 35¢; 14 lb., $1.00; Ib., $3.00; 
2 Ibs., $5.80; 5 Ibs., $13.75; 10 lbs., $26.50, postpaid. 
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. 
Hasily grown in any garden; wonderfully prolific. Pkt.,

_ Early White Vienna Kohl-R 
x 



A new introduction of considerable merit. It is a 
most attractive fruit, both on the outside and when cut. 
This new variety seems to include many of the desira- 
ble characteristics of the Honey Rock, with a smaller 
seed cavity, and the added feature of the thick flesh 
not softening prematurely as it approaches maturity. 
Only 3 to 5 days later than Honey Rock; nearly round; 
flesh rich, deep pink. No variety can claim superiority 
in flavor and eating quality. It is unsurpassed for the 
home garden and holds up well for several days, allow- 
ing plenty of time for marketing. Pkt., (0c; oz., 35c; 
% lb., $1.00; 1b., $3.00; 2 Ibs., $5.80; 5 Ibs., $13.75;

HONEY DEW 
In the city markets the Honey Dew sells at higher 
prices than any other melon. Smooth, ivory colored 
skin; flesh green, thick, tender, and the juciest and 
sweetest of all muskmelons. “A late melon, requiring 
100 to 115 days. Prefers a warm dry climate. A good 
shipper; will keep good for months if kept in a cool, 
The Kohl-Rabi belongs to the Cabbage family. 
It does not make a head, but the stalk forms a 
turnip-shaped swelling just above the surface of 
the earth. These balls when the size of an egg 
make a very excellent vegetable. May be cooked 
either like cauliflower or turnip, resembling cauli- 
flower in flavor. They are in season during June, 
July and August, or at periods when turnips are 
not good, and succeed in dry weather when tur-
