IROQUOIS MUSKMELON 
GEORGIA 47 IROQUOIS—Resistant to 
Fusarium Wilt 90 Days 
J 
We produced a small stock of this 
new strain highly resistant to 
downy and powdery mildew and 
moderately resistant to aphid. We 
are placing this small production 
in extensive field trials. We have a 
larger production planned for 1954 
and should the results come up to 
our expectations we will then be 
in a position to offer a quantity. 
HONEY ROCK 85 Days 
This is a handsome variety. The 
flesh is extremely thick, salmon 
colored. The shape is round, with 
coarse netting, slate colored back- 
ground. It is early, prolific and if 
not already acquainted with this 
new variety, it is well worth a 
trial for comparison with varieties 
you are now growing. 
This new resistant, medium size 
Bender type was developed by Dr. 
Munger of Cornell University. 
High quality, thick, deep orange 
flesh, prominent ribs, heavy net- 
ting, with thin tough rind. Ripens 
about the same time as Bender. 
The only variety on our list to 
grow on land infected with fus- 
arium wilt. 
SHOON’S HARD SHELL = 90 Days 
This Bender-type melon is espe- 
cially valuable because of the hard 
shell which permits long distance 
shipping. Fruits are 614” long by 
514” through the center, covered 
with coarse netting and deeply 
ribbed. Skin yellow, flesh salmon- 
colored, sweet and of medium fine 
grain.
