ROCK O’HONEY 
(The Most Productive Melon) 
84 days. Rock O’Honey was introduced by us in 1941. It is an improved 
type of Honey Rock, and is distinctly superior in several important respects. 
The most valuable characteristic of Rock O’Honey is its freedom from 
blight, causing the vines to remain green until frost. The fruits are slightly 
elongated or oval in shape and will average 5 inches across and 7 inches 
long. The skin remains gray-green at maturity and is well covered with a 
coarse netting. 
The flesh is much deeper than found in Honey Rock and the fruits 
are heavy and very solid, making it an ideal shipping sort. Since its 
introduction, we have been able to fix in Rock O’Honey a high percentage 
of female flowers. This allows more fruits to set and is undoubtedly the 
most productive melon,
